Katerina Nikoultsou : Blue for You (Buy 3M, it's good for your Mail Art)

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Ah that Katerina knows where my heart and investments can be found. Clever lady.  Barcodes and 3M.  Funny enough the day I received this from Katerina, the shares for 3M took a dive and dropped to $87.13.  I was ready to jump out a window when suddenly I had an idea.  Luckly I was able to quickly do a Mail Art piece using Post-its, and by the end of the day, the shares were back up to $88.49, a 1.36% increase. 

    The power of Mail Art is amazing, and saved my life.Tape Art:  When bits & pieces just won't do glue.   I love it, and keep buying that 3M tape.

Can anyone guess what 3M stand for?

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Nancy knows! I received a packet with chopped recycled paper as filler (no plastic bubbles) and it fell out on the table. So I took the handy 3M tape and collected it...then sent it on to Dean, naturally ;-)

And, yes, Haptic Erni...that is Popeye telling us to eat veggies!! What fun! thanks! xxx

Or linters from Katerina's dryer?

So glad that extra 1.36% increase due to mail art saved your life Dean.

Those bits and pieces, what could they be? Are they lint from a padded envelope? 

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Thanks for the blog, Dean and thanks for this...now I don't have to make a new blog :-)

Den?...Dean has a Den of Laughter :-)))))

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Where is Bifidus? Where is Grigori Antonin...they would know what 3M is!

Along with this Dean Marks...

3M = 3 musketeers! Of course!

Oh, no...wait...

MINNESOTA Mining and Manufacturing ;-) 

(No wonder Den has stocks in 3M... home boy!)

We still have 3m so I don't know if your casting vote caused a veto either way?? You're not badly damaged by that experience Dean?  I'm LAUGHING!!! I think All Good Boys Deserve Fun - and 3m is NOT more fun than a fire truck... And it does NOT save three minutes - it COST ten minutes trying to find the jolly end! 

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

A lot of flashbacks today.  Yes, Cheryl, I remember voting a very long time ago (70's) if 3M should pull out of SA.  I can not remember what I voted or if in the end they did pull out, but what I do remember is looking up SA on the globe.

In my family, 3M stocks where given as birthday presents.  I remember once that I wanted a plastic fire truck, and was disapointed to get a fancy piece of paper.

Don't worry, Katerina will know the 3M question.

oh well, I might have been fooled by 3M advertising, Cheryl. Perhaps Three Monkey (Bizness) is closer to the truth after all...! :)

[cheryl penn]

3 minutes - really?

I was thinking more 3 monkeys - o, no thats right - it was 12 monkeys? Ok Carina wins :=) X
