Above, Dean notes on the other side that "9 out of 10 dentists recommend Dean's cards to make them smile." :--}…

Mail-art by IUOMA member Susan Mortimer (Durham, UK)

April 3, 2012 - When I first joined the IUOMA, I made friends with Susan Mortimer in Britain because I…

Yesterday, or the day before marked my first year of Mail Art.  I am not sure how this can be, but in this first year I did 371 pieces.  Does this mean I get a medal or something from the 365 group?

What I think is dangerous?  WHAT higher postal powers are accountable to Dean which allowed this piece to make it through the post… Its quite unearthly.  Most postcards I receive have bite marks – not dean marks. Did Erni, The Valentine, Marie or The Inseine Guy…

Trying to catch up again, I have so much great mail I would like to show you. If only days had a few more hours it would be so much easier :-)

Theresa is telling me about a great dream she had, and I was featuring! I love her fish stamp, her calligraphy, the whole package...…
