To Mrs Cheesey Potato* and many others, the COLLECTIVE THANK YOU continues.

[Valentine Mark Herman]

Mrs Cheesey Potato lives just across the Impasse from me. This morning she gave me some Mail Art that I had received during my recent absence that would not fit in the Mail Box...and so I will continue with the Collective Thank You.

I will be mailing stuff to y'all when I have raised some money for stamps by disposing of my children. The Pawn Shop wouldn't take them, alas, and so I am forced to sell them. I can offer you a Special Mother's Day Three-for-Two price if anyone is interested. Even though a voice offstage rings out, "But you only have two children, Val!", I can only reply "Don't worry, I'll find a third one from somewhere"

We're nearly there, but first an explanatory note:

* My neighbour's real name is not "Mrs Cheesey Potato" but my 'Franglais' version of her name. Mme CP has previously featured in the Sigean chapter of IUOMA's History when she lent her shopping trolley to Mail Art Martha last summer.

And now Thank You/Merci Beacoup, Bedankt to:

 + Carina Grunland, thanks for a funny card. It seems that times are hard on Finnish farms these days.

+ Jenny England, thanks for the phone box card. No wonder that you can't get kangaroos into phone boxes in Oz -- they are full of dragons. (Where do the koala bears go?)

+ MomKat, thanks for 6 more cards. I'm sure that you've reached the 20 tqrget now (if you haven't I'll let you know later)

+ Elle, for  a dragon card complete with matching stamp, thanks from Lui

+ Shinon Akkaraparambil, thanks for all those red letter boxes: are Indian ones really like that?

+ RapaeL'L, thanks for the Blah-Blah Phone Box card. 3 options? Phone, don't phone, or....?

That's all.

Have you seen the last two pictures I've posted, "Guess which...?"

If not, go look.

Roll on Father's Day...especially if I haven't sold the kids.
