Svenja Wahl asks WHERE ARE YOU

[Nancy Bell Scott]

I hope you mean the comforting lady with the newsprint Christmas tree, because as an existential question, WHERE ARE YOU can be scary, and endless. (The answer today is: I don't know.) I do love this postcard, Svenja, plus the little packet of treats and these lyrical asemics:  Of course, now one can see the "asemics" were scanned upside-down! Not only that, but the writing could be perfectly legit German--it wouldn't be the first time this ignorance has appeared in a blog of mine.

So let's move along to the envelope, always one of Svenja's best and most creative mail-art elements. It's wonderful, thank you so much for everything! We all know where his head is, but better luck fooling us next time. :--}

I can. But it becomes mespetsekspt. Or something.

On average, fun is meaningless only about half the time.

[Marie Wintzer]

It's all just meaningless fun, Nancy ;-))

[Nancy Bell Scott]

That's because you're a genius, Marie. :--}  You've been knocking the spots off lately, you know--the sleeve, Mona at the beauty parlor ...

[Marie Wintzer]

So many goodies in this envelope, fantastic mail! And I might have an idea where that head went :-))

[Nancy Bell Scott]

Hijacking is allowed to a certain point, and you didn't come near, D.  :--}  You're right, those are more spots for me!!! Svenja did that on purpose, didn't she. She's such a great combination of quirky and thoughtful. Don't you love the comments sections on blogs? Always learn something.

Everything including the envelope is just perfect. I like that Svenja sent Mrs. Spotty socks some more dots! Svenja, I only figured it out yesterday that the envelope you sent me with the same handwriting exercise (love that school wide ruled paper for tracing) had DK on it. Such a great touch and the addition of buttons was so very clever. Sorry to hijack Nancy, but I forgot to mention that before. Thanks for posting Nancy!

[Svenja Wahl]

Nancy, thank you for the kind blog! Yes, you did it again! It's a guide for writing old german script, Sütterlin or something like that - I had to laugh when I sent it because it looks really sooo asemic! Glad that you like the mail!!
