Is that special IUOMA rubberstamp still available? We could advertise here on a specific place....!

Ruud Janssen

Yes, received the e-mail with attached image. It is the stamp I meant. You had a servive people could order that rubberstamp with their own address. Would be fun to restart that again so members could order it again. Will look for the one you made for me. Is lost somewhere in the large archive I have here. Sorry for delay in answering. Quite busy and also planning a trip next day going abroad. - Ruud janssen

Hi Bill - thank you so much for the MA that graced my mailbox this week! I love the artistamps on the envelope, especially the 'Family Album'. Very cool ATCs - the first I've gotten with B&W photography and such nicely detailed information on the back. I was thrilled to find the artistamps you gifted me - these are the first I have ever gotten, so they are especially appreciated! Rachel

Megan Ruckus

Haha. No, I was referring to the time years ago that you referred to in which you almost quit painting. I did forget to write "almost" though.... Ah, the power of single words, forgotten or included never fails to surprise me.

The Blessed Father

Received your beautiful envelope and card (will blog soon). If you had seen any
of the Blessed Father blogs you would be singing a different song. I'm sorry, but most of my art is on the sinister side including the Blessed Father. I will be sending you some of my stamps. I do most of my art on my imac. I print them and perforate myself. I usually made mini sheets with a custom cancellation (that I make). The stamps you sent are stunning, very professional. BF
