Oh I don't know enough Italian to read a thriller, only kids' comics, like Geronimo. We have a tv series.

I have blogged your great piece of art, and also it is on my bookshelf in the living room, to educate the family and friends.Here it is right in the middle,displayed as I first saw it dropping from the envelope:

Val,

I was thrilled when I made my way out to the post on Saturday.  Thank you for the wonderful arty slide!  I now believe, after having a look at your website and the prolific number of them; and holding my own in my hand; that I UNDERSTAND what an arty slide really is!  What a nifty idea and unique canvas a 35 mm slide card is! The eclectic themes of the arty slides you posted were fantastic to behold.  I love the Popeye series particularly!  And the great one that is on the front of the Arty Slide Group you are president of.  The only time I ever came in contact with those slide cards was when I took a photography class many moons ago.  I love the recyclable idea of an arty slide...... I may see if a photographer friend has some, but in the meantime, if you have an extra few; perhaps you will send some to me at some point please?  I also love my new mail art materials.  I can not wait to dream up a use for the flag.  My eighteen year old niece was here on Saturday and I had fun sharing my mail with her and introducing her to the wonder of IOUMA.  Merci, my lovely friend!  Happy Thanksgiving to you.

Ah, you had me confused here, I was wrecking my brain -- what photo did I send ???

Yes, of course if you come to Vienna we have to meet! I think I might have something that I could send you just for now :-) 

Hi Val, thank you for the invite! Actually I dont go to the Naschmarkt very often, because its not so near to where I live. I have another nice market very near by, which I prefer. I have not made it to the flea market in a long time, ... You have been to Vienna?

Val I am here to get your address for a little something that is going your way and since I am here I like to tell you how lovely was to receive your post, it never finished to fall out of the envelope. Great!

i love the red flamingo, one of yours no doubt and also the Geronimo Stilton's stamps. How did you know I was a fan of the little creature? I have tried to learn italian reading its books with little success and now I am trying again with Montalbano, a police series. Probably not known in France.

Hi Val...so happy it arrived and that you liked!

Winter is here, however, the snow hasn't been informed yet...thank goodness!!!

I have (3) of my foster dogs with applications...(2) are pending adoption and (1) is in the process...SO HAPPY....they all will be going to great, loving families....

Bon jour my dear Valentine,

Sunday, Nov 18 is "International Banana appreciation Day"

so ....love-a-banana! Or eat one? You don't have to be on

any official mailing list for me to send out a banana card, hee,hee, heee!

Have a nice weekend! xxx K.

a card is on its way to you.....

I am so pleased!  Now to some early morning grading. (Yuck!.)

Val,

Did the fork arrive glued to the paper?  I hope so......  I had some trouble with it.   Soon, I will ask you more about your arty slides......... Have a great day.

Thanks Val!  I look forward to showing your work at the Cyborg exhibition in January.

I made you an arty slide awhile back....  I just need to put it into the post.

Val, don't you think you have gone a bit too far now? I think you have. Is this fun? Really? I think it's not funny anymore. Please stop.

Please stop, Val.  Enough!  It's gotten creepy.  No more....Please!

I like you and your mail :)

Hi Val! No it's not my cat... It's an altered postard... Thanks for your very kind comments for the Doodles!

I don't want to be part of this, Val, stop it.  

I once received a piece of the Elgin Shroud from Der Velo Sloan, but it came with some complications:

And the sad part is that in the end, I had to get rid of it;

ArenA is the youth hostel, isn't it? The stadion might sue me for their very original (not) idea. In december there is an exhibition in the AmsterdamMuseum about people having met number 14. As he is 65 this year. Maybe Suus in Mokum will visit ;))
