Valentine, I am glad to hear that you received the Valentine and Elvis Barbie collage card and like them. Say Hello to Elvis for me, and maybe do the same for Jim Morrison of the Doors. There are rumors that Morrison faked his death and has been hiding out in Paris all these years.
thanks for the welcome . and the invite . and yes we are close . i just moved here from the usa . my wife is french and i am american . maybe we can do coffee one day . i have some friends outside Perpignan .
Will all of you be watching Whitney Houston's funeral on Saturday (February 18)? I hear that it will be televised on the Internet. I don't plan on seeing the whole thing, but may catch the highlights of it later on. I think that if anything exciting happens, we will see it on YouTube.
Val, your linocuts are wonderful, and you're so generous with them--I got way more yesterday than I could possibly have imagined. Thank you Thank you Thank--I LOVE them! And can't believe I'm your only linocut fan. In fact I don't believe it. One day soon they will be blogged; I haven't been able to blog for a while. Merci many times, friend.
Ok, I accept the post, as there is only one Belgian member so far, I don't think it is that difficult to do. Although I'm quite chaotic... I'll put the Duvel cold and I'll get a Zeunt (beer from my hometown) too.
i will take you at your word . that i only have to buy a glass of wine or pastis for you to achieve the grand status of president . as i only speak english i do not know if i could do more for france or the french . i will look for the info about the shows that you mentioned . if i can not find them i will ask for your help . i will send something for the shows and look forward to the day that i do the drink buying . this image is from a slide of indian cinema sign boards . . . . . . . . . . . .
leaps and bounds is what i need . thanks for the offer . old french francs , new french francs , old euros and soon to come new euros will make the world go around and around . get some cash from china or kuwait to be safe . . . . . . . .
Hola Valentine, muchas gracias por la invitación. Te comento, soy un brasileño residente temporalmente en Argentina, me encantaria ayudarlo pero te lo digo de antemano que mi dirección es temporal (hasta septiembre de 2012). Dime que te parece, si no hay problemas para usted. Saludos, gran abrazo
HiValentine,thank you very muchfor the invitation.I should comment, I am a Brazilian livingtemporarily inArgentina, I would love to help you butI tell youbeforehand thatmy addressis temporary (until September 2012).Tell me whatyou think,if there are noproblems for you.Regards,
A 'trex' is actually a now extinct creature of Texas folklore, at one point responsible for widespread crop devastation & cattle mutilation...hold on, that's not right I think she meant T-Rex teeth.
Safe arrival of more of your prints - thank you :-) - I like the blue door in particular - I think there is a little mark on it - an elf bang its head? :-) X
You should make a photo album with You and Your hats (what You wear on Your head/not always a hat), could preferably be known as Place du Chapeau at IUOMA.
Nice hairdo, I am inspired and will hide myself under something soon.
Ps. The artyslides progresses in my head whilest You make things go on on Your head.
Valentine - Received your collage card today - Thank You! I notice that part of the collage says "Hommage aux Beatles". My children will love seeing that! My daughter will be 21 in May, and my son is 11. Oddly enough, they love The Beatles and hate today's music. When my son had a haircut last week, he complained that it made him look like Eminem! Some of the boys in my son's class are into Eminem, but my son does not care for him.
Last week, I made a card for a girl who loves rap music. Unfortunately, I could not find any pictures of rappers to put on the card, so I improvised with what I had and came up with the "Rap Yourself" card. Another IUOMA member is sending me some rap pictures out of his collage stash. Is there anything you would like for a collage but have not been able to find? I may not have any rappers, but I do have lots of other goodies. Let me know what you want, and I will get it in the mail to you. - Gail
First NoVear, now NoVal...I miss u, this sight is a little less bright when you're not here :(
Got your cute accordian/guitar player mailart yesterday! I very rarely go with the view of the crowd and constantly pick the oddballs...I would've taken the accordian player without a doubt <3
Sure, I would love to exchange musically-themed mail art. And I seldom have to say anything to my son about his hair, in my opinion, he is pretty good about keeping it neat. But his Grandparents don't agree with me. They often complain about my son's hair and my daughter's clothes. And then they wonder why we hardly ever see them! Fortunately, they live in California (about 1,500 miles away from me).
I absolutely love my new postcard !!!!!!!!!! that represents my week to a T
!!!!! Where did you find that ? Oh and hand written message was gone just Orange or peach colors where letters used to be. I hope things are great for you my friend !
Bonjour Val, nice to hear my card has arrived! I love filmes so please feel free...!
We are in the beginning of the spring, but we have still lot of snow and a thick ice on the lakes... people are driving with the cars across the lakes to their summer houses..
Next time (if there will be!) you visit Finland, perhaps august would be better.... :)
Funf, ha ... why oh why do you not put STAMPS on your mail?? I coulda had lots of lovely extra ones by now!!! Don they run out of stamps every time you're in England??? ok, I'll stop yelling, Van der Valk. Also a show.
I peaked in my mailbox today and saw a little Keith Herring like item looking back at me. If it quacks like a duck then it must be a penguin? Thanks as always.
That was quick delivery, Val! So happy that those two envelopes arrived...and perhaps the other two that I sent directly to the Sigean"library", also? Hope so! xx
Good Morning, Val! I'll send you another batch!! The others were mailed March 1st and they should have reached you by now. Drat! The first batch was especially selected for you too!! Will send more.........
Don't be silly, I wasn't 'smashed outta me 'ead!' Not even close. I wouldn't want to overdo it and feel ill all weekend! I must be growing up a bit!! ? Thanks for the wishes. I'll try to rustle up a fat envelope for you...can it be bits of gift wrapping and ribbon?
