Valentine Mark Herman

At this time there is absolutely no schedule arranged, Hedah has a meeting tomorrow afternoon, I'll bring the subject up then.  This Mail2Maastricht event 'happens' at the same time as Maastricht's annual 'KunstTour' a weekend bash of art in the city.

Best I can do is advise you of when folks are supposed to be here when I hear when folks will be here.  Tot Kijk.... Oh and you could also ask Ruud when he intends to attend/~)

Hi VMH - I knew I was not supposed to return that card, but I specialize in doing what I am not supposed to do.

I'm just rebellious that way.

I am glad you liked it, and yes, the Goddesses are blessing me richly these days with wonderful mail art friends - and multiple Valentines, thanks to your work.

Best, Em

Kisses, kisses xxxx ((hugs)))) (((hugs)))! Thank you sooo much for allowing me to "OPEN" an envelope from you. What a great treasure, my boy! I do so find them awesome. The Greek stamps from 1942 and 1944 are during the Nazi occupation! And look at the thousands of Drachmas! amazing...REAL postal history!

(Like the eraser stamps on the envelope, too)

Hi Val:

We have a Mail Call in our group tomorrow afternoon. I just wanted you to know the Studio's gotten a little behind with its duties, but we're working on catching up as we speak.

I'll be handling any replies for a while, and may well find time to send you a little something here soon.

Cheerio!

Rose

Thank you, thank you, Val! for the TWO (not one,but TWO) mail art pieces in the Monday noon mail today! xxxxx Will have to scan and post at SPACE (great stamps OMG!) and at PHB...lots of flowers, eh? (wait til ya get the "windmills"!). They ame along with other mail art from Rod and from Turkey. You are in good company, my friend!

Agapi,

Katerina

HI Val,

It was my pleasure! Thanks for the book recommendation. Humor/humour and politics seem to be one of the saving graces of politics and politicians. I don't get/comprehend what people saw in Reagan!! He was even a very bad actor!! Have a great day and I like quiche.

Mark, I don't know how you do it, but you are one classy guy! Your latest mail to our studio is superb! Love all the images, the colorful and humorous edge. Very pleasant viewing.

THANK YOU!!!!!

:)   :)   :)   :)   :)

I have been giggling about your comment "That's nice" all morning, and with your picture next to it with your hat.....priceless.

Got your card today, and not offended at all. Figured out what it was after looking for a little while.

Hello Val! (and cats)

Thank you so much for the wonderful postcard! I received it today. What an awesome postbox!

I look forward to participating in the Space mailing.

That's an Icelandic flag!  Iceland is what constitutes my paradise, I go each year sometimes twice a year... did you not look at the videos on my IUOMA page?

Confusing cats... a good thing for a bird watcher to do methinks.

OK! I'm glad... :-)

Kind regards

Hi Val, glad you got it so quickly! I think the envelope is an ad for some flats :-))

yes, you can open!

That's a strange conglomeration.

You should put it in a book sometime.

Me? Well, if I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

;)

No one has forgotten your addition to the inbox. Rather, we had quite the crowded schedule the last day and a half, and had no time for frivolity. While a few of us were at work with their own businesses and occupations, I myself have had to catch up on errands, etc. Don't get me started on the housework which awaits! And our lawn and garden are is becoming more of a concern with winter now nearly at an end. The crocus patch did green overnight, but the flower bed is a mess owing to bothersome beasties, etc., and looks shabby. So lots to do. Once things settle down a little, look for an answer--at last! Sorry to take o long, Val. The days are simply too full for the rest of this week. Please have patience.

Val, you character! We are in the full production phases of a whole new look for the PPS blog. I have obligations I can't go into here. (That's outside of blog time.) The garden won't wait. The yard looks pathetic. The jolly jonquils may jump, but we are obliged to jump to so they can be looked after. We have correspondence to keep up with, projects both IUOMA and non-IUOMA to keep at, others to contact via our goal to expand the blog's readership. One of us is planning to move across country. That's within a matter of 2 months. Still, he's been ready for sweeping changes to his lifestyle already, enough to where we know he'll be glad to head for the coast after all. Meanwhile, his plate is full, as it were.

And you want one of us to "do the ironing"?

Hah! It is to laugh!

Tell you what. We could spare, oh, say, about 10 minutes to your household, so I guess the plane rides would pretty much cancel out our freedom to do you a favor even were any of us to sally forth into the great unknown (to most of us) French territory where you dwell.

Sorry! Guess you are out of luck in the indentured slavery department. :)

Hey there guy. I will for sure send you something...I'm going to fill it out in the next few minutes and send it to you in a couple of days.

If I can find a good picture I may end up fulfilling your proper offer, but if I can't then...I couldn't fine anything.

The friendship thing-I add people that I like to trade with, some of them I know and talk with and some I do not. Since I keep a journal with the names and mail that I exchange with people, I don't use the friend function all that much. I think I'm going to create a video pretty soon that shows all of the things that I've receive so far, my materials, and the journal.

Anyway, say hello to France this late (for you) Saturday.

Hello.

I sent you some mailart....and it was sent back to me with the stamps canceled!!!

It made me very angry, stamps are not cheap. And I customized the envelope. When I get paid and can get more stamps I will attempt to email it, plus a piece of royalty themed art for the wedding.

hi, Val

got your beautiful mailart, thanks a lot!

Best

Amo

You are a very interesting person. I am glad you understand. Haha @ moving to Europe. =)

They are like 40 cents a stamp, crazy crazy! 

My friend does the same, he is on this website actually (Macron). Before he knew about mail art he would mail me canvases and other things just to see if they would get here. But I only live 30 miles from him, thats nothing campared to the thousands you live from me.

Just stopping by to thank you, my boy, for the great STAMPS of the Queen! I do love your mail art sendings (hens and cocks!). And also for the Darlington ticket...ha! Fun! More US postage stamps are on the way to you. Agapi, Princess Kate xxx

I am always meaning to send you this x10 sheet of the windmills that I found displayed in an old US Postage booklet. That is the 5 different windmills, iin twos, so that is how they get their "edges", I guess. US issue: February 1980 (that's my birthday Feb.7!)

Bonjour Val,

Un envoi va partir dès demain matin vers Sigean.

Bonne journée à toi et à bientôt.

Hi Val:

Still sick, and with our Studio's HQ folk either down with same stuff or otherwise guarding their health from the smoky wildfires (2 of them right now, still burning), we won't have chances to get to our POBox and its stamps (a must-have!) for a few days yet. Please be patient. I have already processed yours, but it must have the appropriate postage attached, and must be double checked for weight before it is sent. :(  Had a lot of fun putting it together for you!

Anyway, hang in there. As soon as it goes out in the post, I'll be sure to update you.

Sorry for the wait. And thanks for being patient.

Rose

Val,

Received the Worcester Souvenir Card Pack just now. It's wonderful. As is the hand-painted beach card from Revere, Massachusetts. I'm behind in my scanning but I'll post some choice views of the City of Organ Materials as soon as I can. Thanks again for the contest and prize. Your guy in Santa Fe. David
