    Glad you like the stretchy pants cat mail. I just received yours as well--so many fun cat images and the french comic strip is tres formidable. The fact that you're creating an envelope a day impresses the heck out of me. Cheers

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Val! Your great "funny money and money" has arrived! I even opened the envelop :-) And does that one bank note really say" Heaven Bank Note"? amazing collection! thank you!

    Nov 23, 2010

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    ..."envelope" that to "envelop" has great pic of Alexander weeping!

    Nov 23, 2010

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Val, you have to find the way to close the "Katerina Nikoltsou" group and get it deleted from the group list because there are new people joining. Maybe Ruud can tell you how we eliminate a "group". That way we all will know to go only to "Cat Lovers". Good luck!

    Nov 23, 2010

  • Bifidus Jones

    Yeah, I figured the Fish and No Chips title on my mail art would get your blood going :-) I see that you're headed back to England for a bit, lots of opps to have fish avec chips oui?

    Love the Santa hat, Val! now you have to send one to Valentin in Russia, too!

    Some old Christmas stamps coming to you...hopefully before Christmas ;-)

    You don't have any snow in Sigean, right? Stay warm!!!

     

    Dec 15, 2010

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Yes, Val, that north wind from Siberia blew in and we have 0oC at night...although for our friends in Minnesota and Wisconsin in the USA, 32oF is not cold :-) But you know how it is when we rarely see water on the streets freeze. Snow it allowed only on the Greek mountain tops!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Kalispera Val, did you see what the CrackerJack Kid did with my ol' Greek blue envelopes...er, I mean: "sepolevne"? Well, after 6 months of back and forth across the Atlantic they have returned to Greece...with amazing art and poetry. Me thinking to send them on the France, IF you are considering a "sepolevne" exhibit from others as a side-show to your 365 envelopes-a-day-to-yourself. Me is a thinking, let me know. ;-)

    Heheheh Mark,

    Thanks a lot but you did send me a card with British stamps. Did you understand that I sent the Queen Elizabeth card to continue the  thread of the subject?

    Etes -vous francophone en fait?

    Hi Mark! Clafoutis= is a kind of French cake that I learned to make when I was a jeune fille au pair in St.Cloud. 05 because that was the year that I discovered language exchange sites. Mais est ce que vs parlez français quand même? J'ai pensé qu'ils on jettés les anglais de la France, il y a des siècles!! Mais non, ils ont rétourné et ils ont devenu Père Noël!! Etonnant!
