wow okay talk about mail art ...

okay thought I would send a pic of this amazing envelope im sending out to one lucky pen pal. I sometimes wonder what the post office must say when they see envies like this . Or any of the other bits and pieces of awesomeness that i see in the blogs about mail .Well now it is up to the rest of you to show me your awesome mail that you send out every week . another day down on my blog and I hope to get better really soon about posting every day or every other day . So there you have the challenge my dear readers show me some mail art !!!!

It just occured to me that I forgot something

okay all of you mail artists are you interested in proving that some of us still do send mail and mail art ? then please send this guy a letter . He is the columnists that I talked about in my last post about how he thought that no one sends mail anymore and or mail and mail art is a decade gone by . Well please please send this guy some mail and mail art and let us all show him how wrong he is and he might even be swayed to post the letters and the mail art in his column would that not be a hoot ? to have some of our art out there to live in infamy to borrow a word from the Dear Mr. Winston Churchill . Please oh please dear readers let us all gather together and show this columnist he is wrong .... thanks all and here is the addy and please write on and draw on !!!!!

19329 E. Pinewood Dr.

Centennial, CO 80016   I put Mr. Al on the envie out of respect and just a general knowledge that some folks truly dont like someone calling them or writing to them by their first name when they are not close personal friends . Or so I was always told by my dear sweet granny who also happen to admire and love Mr. Winton Churchill and she was an admirer or the last great President Franklin D. Roosevelt and she would often recant of her standing with her mother and father while they were living in one of the state where  the train carrying his body after he passed away  , came through and how all the grown folks were crying and waving hankercheifs in the air and saying goodbye . well let me get back on track and say Have a wonderful day my readers and remember to get those letters out . thanks again .

Not working again blogger , really ?

Dear Heads in charge , some of our comments are not posting because of an error with blogger ... grrr okay I am officially mad now . So anyway another blogger posted about how a columnist said that no one sends  mail anymore so I thought I would do my part and send this columnist some mail art and I did and i hope i have made him see that people do send mail now a days and they also do mail art as well . I hope he posts an article about how he received all these pieces of mail art ... One can only hope that he will . Well that is about all my dear readers and yes I hope to post on Monday pm that we have a better idea of what city and state we are going to end up in all I know is that it will be warmer than where we are now . Oh yeah I have told you how tired I am of snow . I can honestly say if I never see another snow flake for the rest of my life that would be just fine with me . well bring on the tomatoe sandwiches , cool ice tea and cole slaw and oh yeah dont forget the bbq ribs and the tater salad , yummy . Gotta go dear readers take care all of you . thanks .

Counting down to my next big move

10 wks to go yeah that's right 10 wks to go and guess what I have tomatoes growing on my windowsill yeah that's right tomatoe plants and they are in coffee cans until they get to the apt home with the patio in 10 wks . this drive will be nothing compared to the last move we made . This drive is 10 hrs and the last one was 16 hrs .... much easier this one . I cannot wait to get to a warmer environment and my dr thinks it is best for my health to be somewhere warmer . apparently where I currently live has the highest bad rating for breathing issues so I am so glad to be going to a warmer climate and am needing alot of prayers that everything goes smoothly ... yes ten weeks , come on ten weeks ...get here . Oh well all too dah lou and talk to you dear readers later .

So glad things are back to normal

I for one am glad all the holidays are over and im back to normal as well . well I hope that we have many more sunny days this week because I planted some tomatoe seeds in my terrariums today and I hoping that will give them a headstart . So maybe I should say a prayer over them . My dill seeds is coming up left and right and in my opinion nothing will liven up a dish better than fresh herbs . Im really tired so if I dont make any sense then please excuse and feel free to delete the ramblings of a tired old woman . I have also been up all this week at around 630 and ugh I hate it being up so early . well just let me say Im so glad I have all my friends and family still around and none of them are in the hospital or sickly . Here is to many more post in this lovely new year of 2013 .

17 wks from today

Well just to let all of you know that 17 weeks from today I will be moving to columbia south carolina and I cannot wait because low and behold this morning I woke to a blizzard and 6 -8 inches on the ground . The snow has finally slowed down and I am ever so grateful . I pray that 17 weeks moves fast . The next two months I will be busy packing , re arranging and getting stuff thrown out that I no longer want or need and im sure there will be a few trips to the goodwill in my future . Until Im down to the bitter last week i will continue to blog about my adventures getting there and sure hope the weather is alot more tame than it is here in snow country LOL ... God bless and take care all and Im back to blogging ....
