Could not blog except for a few pieces for 3.5 months, received great varieties of wonderful mail art, and they need to be seen. These are my temporary guidelines for accomplishing this maybe impossible feat:

1. Sometimes more than one m.a. will appear in one image--and they may not even be relatives!

2. Sometimes several m.a. will be lined up for a party photo and shot.  I mean photographed.

3. My words will be minimal. But please know that I enjoy every single one and wish each could be thoroughly blogged and loved out loud.

Thanks again for the treasures, one and all, and for the patience.

Hi Les, thank you, and no I'm not blogged out. Probably two more days--for one thing, do you see yourself in these blogjams? Not yet...but you will!

Wow Nance that was a huge achievement getting all that blogging done! I also have a huge pile waiting to be blogged someday, I have received some amazing pieces. You must be all blogged out by now. X

Yes, Angie, 9--and who knows how many mail artists? I haven't counted. This is exciting and I thought it would be hard! Well, it IS hard not to talk about each piece, but you can't; other than that, it's a relief and a happy thing, getting them out there. You too can do it, I'm no superwoman by a long shot.

Think I'll start with YOUR multiple mail arts tomorrow. :--}

Interesting analogy, Alicia--it is a bit like 3-scrapping. Ruud mentioned that this is like a collage of my mailbox, and what another great way to put it. The pressure to scan all these has been big (only because I WANT people to be able to see them), and today I'm discovering to my surprise that it's actually fun to scan in this collage-y way.

It's just after 4 pm and I'm done for the day, but there is another day's (or two or three) worth to blog. Makes me feel luckkkky. It's also fun just going through it all and seeing it again up close. It's like a quick + intense dose of "Oh yeah, mail art *has* changed your life"!

Nancy, you may have hit upon something here with your new words.  Kind of like your 3 piece collage concept.

1 to 3 words only per blog. or no blogs at all cuz your thank you above says it all.

p.s. 'blogjam' (stop it spell chick) is a great word as Angie mentioned.

New words tend to happen when paralyzed, I've noticed ...
