Thanks Dean: you are very lucky to have received something from De Velo Sloan.

I WISH HE WOULD SEND ME SOMETHING

I fear that I wish in vain.

Bon weekend, Val

Hi Dean, I am quite new here and having lots of fun. I loved your potato performance piece, had me in stitches. I think I will have to send you something soon! Have a great day!

Thanks Dean for the lovely collage. Now it is in the Clouds.

So you have been around Christmas markets, lucky fellow!

I must try Little Miss X banana drink, it sound sehr gut schmeckt.

Merci beaucoup for Les Mims. I always enjoy seeing my name in LARGE LETTERS! Thanks.

Dean, your amazing card arrived. Fantastic! What a labour of love! Taking raised letters to a new level. I will have to make sure I take good pictures to capture it for the blog. Thank you so much, it has me smiling every time I look at it!

Yes, tonight, Dec.5, is Chuck's exhibit...I would love to be there.

His "Crime" evidence sounds fascinating...'would love to get one.

But I just keep looking at my eggs!! What a corker you are!!! What was your idea of displaying them, I have them leaning up against a Veuve bottle (empty oh well...)Got any better ideas?

 Now, why is everyone Erni?? Did he die or something? I'm getting so confused tonight, who is who?

Hi Dean,

Thanks for the Erni Deco. It holds a place of honor as part of this years decor (Kat's is beside yours). Anyway, I posted it on my blog as well: http://sisterlouisek.blogspot.ca/2012/12/it-twas-day-before-christm...

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Exciting that Figgy's and my mail art made it to Paris. No mine might melt in the bath... I once wrote to a famous author about reading his book in the bath and he wrote back!

Dean weaves a beautiful security blanket!

Thank you Dean - now I am safe. I have a Dean-special security blanket so will be forever protected from all evils and pests. Phew : > )

Your Security Patterns have arrived securely Dean, thank you!

Thanks so much for your recent mail art! My life is really chaotic right now and it is always nice to sit back and appreciate a bit of beauty that finds its way into my mailbox. Hope you are well and I'll see you in the mail!

I have never received any shoebox. What was in it, I wonder??

P.

OH, yes, OMG, so sorry, Yes I did receive that postcard of the shoebox top. It was wonderful. So sorry, I did not remember. I have not posted mailart to my blog for a very long time, and have a stack of it waiting to be scanned and posted. Your card surely must be in there. Last year was a difficult one, but I hope to get back to mailart this year. I "owe" returns to so many people, what a great community of artist we have, that keep thinking of you, even when you are not able to respond.

Thanks for the mailart and thanks for the reminder.

P.

Merci beaucoupement pour MailArt

For not being able to take my eyes off that lamb below I lsot the message I had already written. It went something like this: great piece of litterature Dean ( your last  postcard) and the collage is very original too.. How is it done? The lamb anim I mean.(There, I am looking at it again! Better say bye bye)

That lamb! Forgot to tell you that your super card is in Clouds II

Dean what is the address for the banana thing?

What do mountains, dairy cows bike races and trains have in common? I'm not sure. Thanks for a glimpse of the 'world away from the ordinary". amazingly, it arrived fully in tact!
