How are you, my dear friend...! I hope well and active...! Don´t woory about peter...I sended him a complete collection of South Mail.

The best for ypu and your projects...! Fraternal greetings to you and your beautiful woman.

Haha. No, I was referring to the time years ago that you referred to in which you almost quit painting. I did forget to write "almost" though.... Ah, the power of single words, forgotten or included never fails to surprise me.

Oh, I meant to message you days ago and thank you for the wonderful piece of mail art you sent. I can't believe you stopped painting, you create such beauty with your skills! I plan on sending you a piece of art next week- so do keep an eye on your post box!

How are you my dear friend Bill...! How many time without your news...! Yes...I will inaugurate my new exposition in Germany, in Bremen at June 18, 2010. Lamentably I have no more reviews...Fraternal greetings,

When I peeked in the post box today what did I see but your exquisite watercolor tree postcard! And you artist stamp is fantastic, it was done so professionally that I didn't even realize at 1st glance that it wasn't official. Well sir, now its your turn- so expect something in the mail for you soon!

hi Bill - yes, I am trying to spread my wings - a little! I am equally amazed to find you here too! I am not sure how often I will be able to visit but I love the quality and range of the design work I have seen here so far. All best! Colin

Hi Bill - thank you so much for the MA that graced my mailbox this week! I love the artistamps on the envelope, especially the 'Family Album'. Very cool ATCs - the first I've gotten with B&W photography and such nicely detailed information on the back. I was thrilled to find the artistamps you gifted me - these are the first I have ever gotten, so they are especially appreciated! Rachel

Bill, thanks for the mail-art greeting.
