Toni Hanner -- tonipoet

I'm no longer in Oregon, but I'm just across the River in Vancouver, WA.

Thanks Toni for the compliment!  I would love to be friends.

We are neighbors too.  I may be in your area this summer on a trip.....I love visiting OR.

Hope to see you in the mail.

Nice that your first A&P arrived at your place. I thank you also Katerina for her sure collaboration. Ciao

This makes me smile so much. So happy you enjoyed the missive!

I'm interested in your Oregon group. I'm going to check it out. Thanks for letting me know! :-)

Gracias Toni por tu bienvenida

Thanks Toni, 

A really nice place to find!

Thank you for the Welcome!  I'm excited to get started.  

Toni, thank you for the lovely ATC and bird envelope.  I love them.  I'm glad to be exchanging with you.  BTW, my mom went to South Eugene HS.  I don't know her address.

Toni, thanks for your friendship! Yesterday the moon-cat card arrived, really very nice!

It reminds me a bit of the cat in Alice in Wonderland and at the same time of a famous painting of a german romantic painter. Thanks so much! I will write soon!

Best wishes Charlotte

Toni

I just saw your poem from Jan 21 - very nice!  thank you -

Thank you Toni!

Thank you for welcoming me Toni.  It is good to hear from someone to know I am not lost in the crowd.  :-)

Thank you for your great animals mail art, Toni!

(I'll  post your Lion also in the IUOMA blog, but that may take some more time..)

So true!  Privacy is dead - a difficult concept to digest.

Hope spring is upon you in OR.

Glad you got the postcard. Yes it is a photo. I used a Photoshop filter to make it look like a drawing.

Hey, hallo Toni! Quite a magic that I didn't know anything about iouma before... have been sending weird self made postcards to my pals about twenty years already :) Nice to be here!

Thank you!

I've sent you something today, please let me know when you receive it :)

Glad to see that you received my "Launches April 12" card and like it.  April 12 is special to me - it was my Grandfather's birthday.

Thanks for the kind words, Toni. I love the latest series of ATCs you sent me, too. Thanks again!

Glad to see that you liked my "Launches April 12" card.

Unfortunately, I have experienced upheavals in my life lately.  In January, I went in for a routine mammogram. Early in February, I learned that I had breast cancer again, this time in my left breast. ( I had it in my right breast in 2012).  In mid-February, I had surgery on that breast, only to learn later on that the surgeon did not get all of the cancer.  For awhile, there was talk of a bi-lateral mastectomy, which scared the poop out of me.  Thank God that the bi-lateral mastectomy was later ruled out, as I had seen pictures of one on the Internet that looked like something out of a horror movie!  On Good Friday (March 25), I had a second surgery done on the left breast.  Had a medical appointment on March 31, and this time I was told that the surgeon was able to remove ALL of the cancer with the second surgery.  It was great to hear that I'm finally free of cancer!  Now I'm just waiting for radiation to begin, I should get a call within the next two weeks telling me when that will start. (I had radiation for six weeks in 2013, and it wasn't that bad, though I was uncomfortable towards the end of it.)

Doing mail art has helped keep me sane through all of this.  Hope to have something in the mail for you soon. - Gail Anderson

Thank you for your comment on Purple On Yellow

i'm glad the ATCs arrived and you dug the envelope. i really should put more effort into the envelopes but sometimes i can't be bothered. i'm sad to hear the card never reached you. i'm sure i put my return address on it too just in case. i suspect it got mangled in the post. :( but maybe it'll show up yet. i dropped some more ATCs in the mail to you yesterday so i suspect you will have those next week.

Yes, Toni... that pc depicts both a skull and my Aunt Drusilla... the family doesn't speak much of her, because she had conversations with buildings, called my uncle "Gertie" (his name was Alphonse), has an eating disorder (live parakeets... all those feathers flying... *shudder*), and is institutionalized.

Glad you loved them! :-)

Thank you for your friendship. See you in the mail. :)

Hey Toni - No worries. Looking forward to yours. 

Thank you! I'm so happy to have found this group! 

Hi Toni. Thank you for your very kind words. I'm so happy that you like my paintings. I sent the article so you could enjoy all the flowers, I never meant it to be read..... :-D (Danish is a very difficult language!). Grethe :)

Thank you for the great card with the cat!  I received it today (April 14) and really like it! - Gail Anderson 

I lived in PDX from 2004 - 2007 while I was attending Portland State.  Oregon is a beautiful state full of contrast.  Thank you for your friend request.

Thanks for the circle oatmeal lid mail art! I love it. I also really enjoyed the envelope, did you make that from an old calendar?

yay! yes, that's the card that we thought had gotten lost. it must have just taken the scenic route! i'm glad you dug it. there's a little cut up bit going on with lonny and ken. i thought you'd appreciate that. i've wanted to do that more - but most of the time i'm too lazy...:)

Thank you... stamps coming your way....

yay! glad it all arrived. i think that is the most recent stuff i've mailed you. have fun with it all.

I love Eugene... though I haven't been there in decades.  My daughter lives in Portland so I end up spending time there instead.

Is Mars you, or...?  I got your request but didn't know who to send to!

I'm guessing you're also into poetry - I'm doing Ntl Poetry Month stuff on my blog right now - come have a look if you are interested... 

Cryptic Messages and here's something small from that blog to hopefully pique your interest:

Thank you, Toni, and I enjoy your blogs immensely.

Glad it arrived - can't believe it took 5 days to get there. Yes, the small yellow ones do love bananas!

just a bit of fun that started with two lonely flowers that reminded me of eyes! Glad the card arrived...have a great weekend!

many thanks Toni, i'm happy you enjoyed them!

Hi Toni, glad you got the postcard! You definitely SHOULD open the little envelope - it has a poem inside (not written by me!) that goes with the card!

You are very welcome for the altered postcard, Toni. I'm glad you like it. :-)
