SO many FABS :-) - not too many comments :-(

If you've got time and money (just a few cents - sense? ) be sure to attend David Staffords School for the Natural Lowering of Self Esteem. IF he does not succeed with your self esteem, I am certain he can achieve lowering your hair.  Especially hers. Although, the bouffant - is it coming back? 

IF that School does not appeal to you, attend the Daycare for Your inner Chid. This daycare comes with the all inclusive offer of a wildebeest who attended the afore mentioned school. Hence his wilting horns.

Diane Keys told me there were three cards - "Tragedy happens in 3's. Why is life so painful sometimes?" The tragedy here is that only two cards have arrived :-( - I'm not too certain what this means??? Beautiful technique on a letter dated February 8th 1988. When ink weeps, it loads like this for sure. 1988.  where was I?  - No, think I'll keep that one to myself :-)))! Thank you DK.

A while back, Vals 'old' hhmmm... IUOMA friends were kept entertained by his 7 Post Office Stories. Now they come in book format - a LIMITED EDITION of 4. Um, I hate to brag over here, but I got 3/4. Yip, you SHOULD all be jealous - its a FAB! The forward reads: To Cheryl, Val wrote the stories, Katerina made them into a book" - and that came with best wishes (October 2011)

One of my favorite stories - Val's letter from Uncle Derek - Val's First Ever Letter - 17th October 1946. Some of us were just twinkles then :--))). VAL - its a treasure - thank you for sending me one - I can just imagine your conundrum in choosing WHO was gong to be a lucky recipient - LUCKY ME!!! :-) X

From the other CP - Catherine Petre - this has been a LONG time in showing - Heart Matters to CP2 for sure.  All the things closest to her, wrapped in beautifully crafted, thoughtfully made hearts. With the ribbon raveled, I can see the heart veins running through. And the matters are slightly veiled - we all show so much, but veil the rest. Its the only way the heart can remain intact.

and not forgetting her Red Heart ZALOP envelope

From Sue - AKA PrettyLily - the old favorite technique with tape transfers - I am CERTAIN I see a face in there! SO nice to see you in the mail again Sue ;-)X

From Katerina Nikolsou who is an exceedingly busy ZALOP-ist. In fact, MomKat is a REALLY BUSY mail artist - just as well! Keeps showing us up so that we work harder :-) - should I open the last envelopes? Will the essential secret of ZALOP be revealed?

Many thank for all the wonderful mail art I have been receiving. FAB day to all the Ether People :-) XXX
