Please, please, please don't send me "add & pass" or traveling journals. I don't know what to do with these things when they come, and I don't know to whom to send them to continue their journey. I find them a burden, and worry that the person I send them to will also feel the same.

    I can relate... I needed something a little more structured and more focused on art so I'm hoping this place fits that bill. Good to see you around here :-) -- Lisa (aka Cricket)

    Thanks so much for the card. I guess my "subtle" soup cans and Pittsburgh connection wasn't that subtle.

    Thank you, bonnie!

    The orphan postcards came in today's mail, and I am sending you the first three tomorrow. Two are from Northern Greece: Meteora, Mt.Athos...and well,Bethlehem, I have been a looooong time ago! hope they arrive safely. Others to come soon...I am thinking if the roads are clear and the days are sunny, I might take a drive up to Bulgaria to post your Sofia and Rila Monastery cards. We shall see!

     

     

  • andytgeezer

    Ya know Postmuse I've been thinking - I can't believe you weren't on iuoma before mailart 365!
  • Piccadilly Post

    Thank you for the peaceful postcard you sent!  The featured stamp is lovely.  It arrived yesterday in a "We Care" postal service envelope I think because some of the leaf/petal from the address side of the card was missing.  Everything else looked OK to me.  The snow falling here tonight is peaceful and quiet, so beautiful to watch.
  • Piccadilly Post

    The "USPS body bag" is just mail art waiting to happen!  I thought the handmade paper traveled surprisingly well.  Thanks again!
  • Sharon Silverman

    Wonderful collages! I would love for you to send in a piece of mailart to The Face of Jesus Gallery Exhibition that I am hosting. Check out my page for details. Deadline is February 28, 2011.
  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Sent out Rhodos and Mycenae and old vintage Mykonos orphaned postcards to you today, Bonnie! I am still keeping the Bulgarian postcards in the hope that I may be able to get there and send them from over-the-border. But not anytime soon, as the weather is ugly rain and cold, snow there, and I am indoors with a flu bug, ugh! But some postcards are in the mail, getting to you soon!

    Thank you for the nice card, and these GREAT stamps...Katherine Hepburn! my, my,

    my! I had a nice set of stamps arrive in today's mail, thanks!

     

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, bonnie! 78/365 came in the mail: "O is for OVEN"! Love the "queens"! Great vintage ad. I can remember the first stoves with electric timers and how excited my mother was when they bought one! Brought back fond memories, thank you! 'Glad you got a few of the orphaned postcards...more to come later.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Bonnie! so exotic...so Persian...even though I have just returned from Istanbul (still very Sheherazade!). I sent the "orphaned" Bulgaria postcards from Turkey, eh, neighbors...did not have a chance to get over-the-border to Bulgaria, but Eager to see if the turkish post office will put postage satmps, or just a sticker? Be on the look-out, coming soon to you. and thank you for this beauty!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Hello Bonnie, thank you for the Pittsburg postcard! And I am happy to see that the Mycenae card arrived. I am hoping that the two "orphaned" Bulgarian postcards will arrive from Istanbul soon...and safe. see you in the mail!
  • still collecting wrappers, we'll send it friday!

    Dear PostMuse, Your account seems to have been compromised in the same way mine was. About 10 days ago my Yahoo account was hacked, all my contact names were stolen and then the names were deleted. All my contacts then received 2 emails: one saying that I had been mugged in 'London UK' (as opposed to London, Ontario?), that my wallet, credit cards etc had been stolen, and that people should send €1750 to a Western Union account. The second purportedly came from the local (Hounslow) Police saying that the crime had been reported and was being investigated: this was a fake as a a simple check on the email address used established.

    A friend 'investigated' the first of these, spoke to the fraudster (Sam the Scammer aka Scam the Scum) and got his name, address, and phone no. I spoke, or rather abused, him a number of times. I passed on his name etc to the police and asked them to investigate this. About 5 days later they told me that they couldn't as the supposed crime had not originated in their 'patch' -- and, of course they assured me in corporate speak that they were doing everything possible to safeguard the streets etc of London for their citizens. Except, that is, for investigating fraudsters.

    One of my banks received the scam letters and automatically stopped my credit cards: I'm still awaiting new ones, but no fraudulent activity seems to have occured card-wise, thank goodness.

    My Yahoo account still seems to be a bit funny (I think some of my messages have gone to Sam the Scum) but seems to be more or less OK.

    Like you, I am EXTREMELY careful about what I do on the internet -- so careful in fact that I do as little as possible. Like you, I have no idea at all how this happened.

    I thought that I would share this with you, and hope that things will be alright at your end.

    Regards, Val

    PS: if you want to, you can, of course, send me money (lots of, please!): you'll find my address in IUOMA  

  • good thing i use google! ;-D

     

    on your way is an add & pass journal.

    rules: keep it for 2 weeks, adding whatever you like.

    it was my school notebook for the first month or two of spring semester,

    when i took creative writing and drawing (before dropping the art class

    due to personality clash with my teacher)

    also is a bunch of printed poetry / prosaic stuff you may or may not want to read.

     

    after two weeks, send it to someone else OR give it to someone you know!

     

    and that's all you need to know about that!

  • if you would like to be included in my weekly FREE ART emails, please get me your address!

    thanks!
