    Dear Karen,

    I got your mail art today.

    I love it.

    Thank you so much.

    I'll send you something soon.

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Karen. What a beautiful "gold splash" greeting!

    I posted it also at Holiday group. Many thanks. xxx

  • Marie Wintzer

    Karen! Thank you for your wonderful YYY piece! It arrived while I was away and I just got it now. I love it! thank you...

  • Lesley Magwood Fraser

    thankyou Karen for the 2 gorgeous ATCs received several weeks ago, very Medieval feel about them....I shall send some to you soon I promise! Best wishes for 2012. X

  • Cernjul Viviana María

    I Received your Christmas card. Thanks. It's wonderful!

  • Marie Wintzer

    Karen, I got your beautiful Gold Streaks on canevas. Wow, you never cease to amaze, it's really beautiful work! I've sent you something today, but it now looks like a very meager envelope when I see what you did :-( there will be more for you....

  • Jen Staggs

    I received your piece "Once" today and it totally made me tear up.  That is such a powerful story and to receive another chapter in the artistic tale is a true gift.  Thank you for sharing such a bittersweet moment with me.

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

    Thank you for the "We Are One" piece, it brightened my day immensely. On a side note, I recently picked up a metal cable & clip display system; so that I can admire the various cardboard items you've sent me. Since they're too thick to fit inside the doors of the DVD storage units, in which I've displayed much of the Art I've recieved since joining IUOMA.

    KC,

    I've got a piece headed for you today. I was curious if you might want some more music to create by?

    -Austin-

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

    In that case, I'll include some in an envelope of goodies I'm putting together for you. :)

    So relieved to read that it made it to you alright, there was some doubt as to whether that package was too heavy to be mailed from home. I kept expecting to get it back. I hope you enjoy the tunes!

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thank you, Karen, for the birthday wishes! I have sent a little something in the mail for you for Feb.14th! ;-) All the best, xxx

    Hi, Karen!

    I received your artwork today.

    It's so wonderful as always.

    Thank you so much!

    Have a good weekend!

     

  • Marie Wintzer

    Karen, I have sent you something but it might be all stuck together when you get so I apologize in advance if it's a disaster. I have sent something similar to Cheryl and she couldn't do anything about it. I'll send you something else :-((

  • Austin Wills James

    KC,

       Thank you so much for the treasure trove of goodies you sent, everything in it was amazing!

    Oh, just listening to the rain, working on a drawn/painted piece, waiting for my Soma & Valium to kick in.

    -AWJ-

  • Austin Wills James

    I really hope you enjoyed the CDs I sent, & possibly found some inspiration in them. :)

    -AWJ-

  • Austin Wills James

    No problem at all! Next time I gather enough goodies to justify a bubble mailer, I'll included a couple more for you.  :)

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Thanks, Karen, I am glad to hear that it arrived. Some are trying to play it on their CD players, it might work. Then again, the acrylic paint may block the laser. In any case, look at" both sides now" and see a rainbow :-)

  • Susan McAllister

    Thanks for the Red Asemic card. I am so pleased.

    Dear Karen,
    Thanks for your mail art.
    I received it yesterday.

    I'm going to the USA this Saturday to see my brother's family.
    They live in California.
    I'll be back home on April 9.
    I'll send you something after I come back home.

    Love,
    Kim

  • Kerri Pullo

    Thank you for your beautiful mailart! I am trying to get everything scanned in to post! You will all see some mail coming your way soon! :)

    p.s. I grew up in Dyer, IN about 30 miles south of Chicago. On the border of Lynwood and Cal City, IL. It's considered the "Calumet Region" or we are considered so fondly as "regionrats!" .....if you don't know the area. You are on the north side of the city, if I remember correctly, right?
