    Thanks. That is interesting! I guess it's one  more item in the Amazon cart. Oh dear. This could get expensive.

     

    NOW, if only I could get a roof rake!

  • brittany ukulele

    hello! :)
  • DKeys

    Hi Rani-thanks for the mail art I've blogged it!
  • DKeys

    I know, it did rip a little. I always wonder if they are run  through machines or are they hand sorted when they see one of our weird mail art. One time I was sending something to Switzerland but it came back because I had only put Zurich and left off Switzerland. I went into the post office and said why couldn't they figure out it was Switzerland? He said it was because the mail is read by robots. It kind of scared me picturing what the back of a post office looks like:) will send you something back soon
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Ευχαριστώ Ράνη! Είναι πολύ ωραία τα ελληνικά σου. Να'σαι καλά. :-)

    (Thank you for the birthday wishes and beautiful candles!)

  • Laura P (spopod)

    Rani it is nice to have you as a friend.

    Do you know Dewi?

    Dewi is working on a show for the Eve'n'odd gallery (St Petersburg FLA) in June titled Summer Wishes, Winter Tears ....
    and she is looking for what we miss the most, or the thing we look most forward to in the summer when it is really cold and dark outside.
    Dewi is going to put our wishes into fortune cookies to give away at the show.
    Send them to dewi.arts@hotmail.com

    Pass this on please!

    Hey Rani. I am rolling into the march manga month but am finding the topic little big stories challenging.
  • Dewi

    It is still a bit wintry here so most of the manga crowd are still tucked away somewhere. Maybe trying to avoid the wind which is playing havoc with my sketchInh al-fresco.
  • Cernjul Viviana María
