Looks like Miss Gail has everything she needs. Yes, it does make you wonder who made this one.

DK, only you. Thank you darlin!  

Oh, Erni!

...another amazing parcel arrived in Greece today.

The outside is as fascinating as the contents, of course!…

All the mail from Janine came on one day...what a thrill to see them all. All for...KAT :-)

No.1) The small card may not have been the first that arrived but it is lovely and simple on one side,

very nice collage on the other: LOVE! LoveCat LoveCat or CatLove CatLove....Seeds of LOVE!…

     Well needless to say, this one got some good feedback from the postman & our concierge, who over the pass year have somehow become art critics.  They tell me that Taidgh's use of rich colours on the envelope enhances his drawings to a high point.…

Stripygoose Sue is on the 365 road and ain't stopping until she finishes.  This one is called; N° 231 "Ant loves the big outdoors."  I love the use of the inner fluted corrugated medium.

Val was so kind enough to send me his credit card to buy art supplies.  Sadly when I got to the store the lady said that the balance on the credit card was zero.  I should have known better from looking at the card number.  So in the end, I give her the painted beer mat he sent me as payment.  She then called the manager ...

Diane Keys sent me an envelope of goodies! I received these wonderful Nippon-Koku (The State of Japan) stamps, an add-and-pass from Marguerite E. Keen, and this phenomenal (as always!) trashbook. …

I have been waiting for MA from The Celestial Scribe for a while now. It finally arrived! It's wonderful, thank you Patricio!

He gave me a wonderful drawing of The Patlander Postbird, which is…

Sad news from John Held Jr. today. He informed the network through Facebook that Shozo Shimamoto died 3 days ago. It was 3 days after Shoso turned 85 years old.

John Held is currently working on a Gutai exhibition in San Francisco and that will be a special event now for sure. I met Shozo Shimamoto in 1990 in Köln when he was doing the NetRun, and took this…
