Not only was it a good mail day, it was a fantastic mail day! Ruth Giles sent me a booklet filled with doodles, random images, and quotidian sticky notes.   

From Kathy Barnett, another moving MA animal:  the catapus. …

Norma Soulet sent me This lovely pin/icon.  About 4" long, made of felt and woven fabric with a crown and  few beads added on the bottom for emphasis. thanks Norma!

Mike Parsons is a tireless and faithful correspondent.  Today I received one of his patented folded art/envelope.  It has a queen bee pictorial check list of beer for the hot summer. …

Ellie Wilsden sent me two fabulous books full of wisdom and rhymes!  Thanks so much, such fab colors too.…

I know what this is because Cor very helpfully labeled it.

But of course, if you wanted a surreal twist, you could label this " Not…

BonnieDiva sent me a lovely thick envelope with an ATC, a collage,  a couple of useful magazine articles and some odds and ends.  I particularly liked the article of Easter BOnnets.  So useful!…

Mike Parsons sent me a largish postcard with an elevation on one side and a plan on the other.  A very elegant house, I'm guessing turn of the century to the '30s.  I base that on the kitchen which does not have built in…

Such a cool statement, and so true for many of us.  Ruth Giles sent a wonderful package of…

Sabrina Schmider, who is lucky enough to be traveling, sent me a lovely duo of Finnish inspired art. The first is a Hazel grouse, though it looks like a road runner to me. Next is "mammi" package, improved with birds and butterflies.  Thanks Sabrina!!…

Inge Hauser sent this hand colored and lettered card with uplifting thoughts.  What lovely colors and the lettering is so joyous!  Thanks Inge!!

Mike Parsons sent (inside a clear sleeve) a sequin covered card.  Simple, yet eye catching.  Amazing I wasn't attacked by the blue jays who covet all things sparkly.  the scan doesn't do justice to the card's eye popping shimmer.  Thanks Mike!

Large and Confident set of Riso prints from Miss Ellie Wilsden.. on A4 papers I think.  I had to look up what a Riso print is: IUOMA artists are an education for me.  One is actually marked a ropy print, but couldn't decide if I just read it wrong.  The envelope was great too.  Thanks!…

4x6 postcard on cardboard, meticulously straight and ruled.  I don't know if Reijn checks here, but thanKs!

From Mike Nobody, a couple of real cool cats.  Check out those googlie Eyes!  Cleverly done mixed media on a 4x6 piece of cardboard.  Thanks Mike!

Debra sent me  a large MA  (7"x9") with all sorts of extras attached.  Heck Yes, Debra! Mail carriers rock, and always deserve a big thanks.  

Barbargirl isn't afraid of color on her envelopes, Fab!!! This one has a interesting tidbit about "Mona".  The contents are bold too (just like Mona)!  Love set of three ATCs.  Thanks BBG…

I am always amazed by the very unique art each member of IUOMA creates.  In today’s  mail was a fat envelope from Sabrina.  Inside she had sent a note, with a flying-birds print and a note.  She had also enclosed a drawing of monster bird (I love all monsters).  However, the pièce…
