    Love your profile photo, my dear!

    Greetings on your Jubilee!! 

    Princess Kate

    (or is that Catherine-the-Great?) :-)

  • stripygoose

    Well spotted! I thought we were already. My only worry is keeping up with all the conversations, comments and quips... 

  • Suus in Mokum

    How wonderful the Jubilee Queen also is involved in Mail Art. I am so amused...

  • Eraser Heed

    Bonjour Val!

    Numero 4,10,12 et 19.

    Et maintenant; send me three numbers between 1-35, I will add three numbers also and my son will roll a dice for the seventh number. And then we will also be able to get some swedish kronor to add to our future collection of money.

    I forgot to tell You; my son is too young to know what he is up to so he will not split the money with us, I'll throw him a lollipop if we win...

  • Suus in Mokum

    Your Magistratical Royaltry on the Thames, 

    The Loo is very far away from Scotland so in all my modesty I would advice you to do the business before crossing the North Sea. Nice coat you are wearing today. White with gold and pearls, very classy. Could you send Val your hat please...? As you will surely not wear it another time and it is a special day, today, isn't it? Thank you. Suus from Holland

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    cheers

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

       Dear Queen!

       Many many thank's for the envelope of goodies the Queen sent me. I was surprised by the poster of Australian culture, this would be even more beautiful if the mannequin was replaced by the Queen. Thank's also for the lovely little french pictures and papers, flyers and music ticket festivities. I was watching the televevision the other day and I saw the Queen celebrating. Did the Queen celebrate the annexation of france!?

  • Arac

    Not sure I like you as The Queen...kinda creeps me out :/

  • jon foster

    Got your card in the mail today, thanks so much for the musical fun. I'm going to agree with everyone else, the Queen (at least in that picture) creeps me out a little bit. My response may be a little slow over the coming summer travel months, doing a little crosscountry traveling. Gonna make a zine out of it with my travel partner. Hope your well and thanks again.

  • Carina

    Ha ha always nice to see Her Majesty's profile on my page! Thanks for posting Arty Slides, Val, looking forward to discover the Arty Slide world!

    Cheers or "Kippis" as we says it...

  • Arac

    Vank vu Val vor ve very vool Mr Stink! I would LOVE to have that as my chair :))))))

  • Carina

    Val, your card has arrived, thanks for sharing your Sigean with me!! Your town is so beautiful and have lot of wonderful narrow streets! I would get lost... with a smile on my face..

    Here's a photo of "my sea"

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    They all arrived, hurray. You're very welcome, they have been fun to do. I just noticed your crown is gone. Oh dear. But oh well, too, you will make up for it, don't we know it!

  • Amy Irwen

    Hello Val. Received your goody mail packet...almost lost everything, the bottom of the envelope came completley undone. It arrived in a USPS postal plastic bag....thank you and I will blog soon *!*
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Oh, yes...who is that handsome guy???

    'Love the beret photo xxx

  • Morganne

    Thanks for the comments and welcome. It seems you are a man of many hats! I think I know just what to send you.

    Mwahaha.

  • stripygoose

    never mind about flying ducks, Val, I've just been looking at the 'envelope a day' project on your website. love it - esp. the flamingo, parrot and bullsrushes, just to mention a few. what was it like having to send an envelope a day? did you miss any days? almost miss any days?  i'm doing mailart 365 - making mailart every day. i love it but sometimes think it's driving me crazy... 

  • Dean Herrett

    I assure you it would be only only mail from france! I will send you something the minute I piece something together! Thanks for the warm welcome!

  • stripygoose

    wow - you've got a lot on your plate/desk/canvas at the moment, Val. The enveopes project was a great idea and the exhibition looks wonderful. it would still be lovely to see it in one long line...from your front door and just keep going? I've been keeping an eye on the arty slides thing - all new to me - would you really send me some slides? I will try to get them back to you doube-quick... is July 1st the deadline (how we all love a deadline). One day sometime, I will look in the loft where I think I might have quite a few old kodak slides. probably a silly question but do you use blank or used slides or both? :>) 

  • stripygoose

    doh - and i had some spare potatoes too. never mind. too kind to send slides - and when i do make time to mooch around in the loft i will keep your address in mind. Thank you Val. 

  • Ptrzia (TICTAC)

    wow! ...thank you Val!

    today i sent you the last one...just one, as it is a verrry special edition...

    ;-)

  • Suus in Mokum

    What a dissapointment... even lighting candles didn't help.

    I am having a bad hair day today...

  • Tinne -TomoyoHime-

    Hello!

    I think it is best to find someone else for the "president" of the Belgian branch of Arty slides. 

    Have a nice day!

  • Nancy Bell Scott

    Got your postcard today, Val, thanks. You were easily recognizable, even without your beret. What a question on the front of the card ...

  • yves maraux

  • stripygoose

    hoorah the slides have arrived all of them - thank you for your arty slides (the absolute first i have ever received) and for the blanks. now to work :>)

  • Carina

    Monseuir Val and lovely Bianca, thank you for posting slides to me!

    I posted them back yesterday and hope they will make it in time for your exhibition Diapositive!

  • Katikatinka

    VALENTIN HELLO! I am happy to greet him, with regard to your question, I do not know this person Antonio Moreno Garrido, I regret not help with your search, but I will consider if there is any information about this artist. a big hug!***

  • Suus in Mokum

    Hiep hiep hoeraaaaaa! You will have a wonderful hairday tomorrow, me thinks.
  • Suus in Mokum

    Lots of frustration, this football happening ;( oranje is a disgrace at the moment.
  • Cristian Sima

    hello, val...

    some works for you from some children :

  • Suus in Mokum

    Ooooooooh, Orange was a horrible. 25 minutes they could get my attention, then I started pottering about in the house. Yesterday morning (long before the match) I was at the Hema in Central Station and they were giving AWAY the orange stuff. Gratis! We always have another Koninginnedag to come... Will get Bertje van Marwijk now unemployment benifit?

  • Rebecca Guyver

    We lived in Soestdjik for a few years and remember the orange.  My husband flew back to England via Schipol and said they had shrouded the orange stuff under tarpaulins. Hup Hup. He felt sorry.

  • Rebecca Guyver

    Leuk!

  • stripygoose

    What a relief to know they arrived safely, Val - phew. Enjoy the exhibition. How many slides in total?

  • Jaspals

    "Dear n respected Mark, thanks you go through my C V, So far I busy with my art n looking for a good job for my future time, my best regards to you... jaspals India"

  • Jaspals

    Dear Mark, I gone through your artistic folio, its superb n meaningful, my bests for you...

  • Amy Irwen

    Hi Val, thanks for letting me know you received the PC...so glad you liked...we may go to Montana in August, but there is a big ???? behind that statement.... *!*

  • Fleur Helsingor

    Hi Val, Josefina is very intelligent and multilingual as well. She speaks English, biting-and-scratching, and ginger-with-stripes (Gaelic). At least, I think it's Gaelic, although I can't be sure because I only know two words of Gaelic.

    I'll look forward to your mail!

  • Kerri Pullo

    Thanks Val :)

  • Suus in Mokum

    Good! It was the idea to make you smile. I was going to support the Irish but they were sent home as well. So if you please could arrange that Zuh Queen can make me English for the weekend ;))

  • Cristian Sima

    hello,val...soon the children's work will be to you...

    have you a list of participants in the actual expo ...on a site, on a blog ?...

     

  • Cristian Sima

  • stripygoose

    Val - all is well. 114 was yesterday's (earlier-in-the-day-for-once) mailart 365. More to come later today. 

  • Suus in Mokum

    Sorry for your loss... At least the match was worth looking at. Is that cricketteam based in Amstelveen/Amsterdam? Of course England will beat any nation in cricket. Nobody else will understand the rules, hihi.

  • Mail Rat

    Hi Val

    Thanks for sending Cyborg mail.  

    I like funny.  I doubt if I will be offended.  I can send you some envelope art, and perhaps try some slide art.
