The Soccer Field AAP's

Fortunately some colleague mail artists are willing to help to complete the sheets.

"Did you get it?" I think, maybe

Sorry to take up blog space with this. I am always getting messages: "Did you get it?" (Did you receive the mail art?) That is an important question and one good reason why IUOMA-Ning is such a great resource. So here is a list from recent weeks:
