Nicole Gonzalez - Tampa, FL

The pitter patter of little feet has invaded the menagerie thanks to Nicole Gonzalez of Tampa.

This groovy piece includes some sage advice that we can all appreciate: Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling.

Samuel Montalvetti - Argentina

Thanks to Samuel Montalvetti for the nice mail art cards including some add and pass projects that will be fun to work on in the near future! Visit Samuel's blog at http://montalvetti.blogspot.com/

Laura H. - St. Petersburg, FL

This exotic bit of mail art arrived not flat as shown here in the scan but rather folded into a triangular 3-sided tent. Really nicely engineered and arrived totally intact. A bit of calming amid the bills and junkmail was wonderful to find!

Art Tower - Germany

Super cool mail art from Art Tower in Germany!

Check out all of his coming and going mail art on his blog

Mincing Mockingbird - La Crescenta, California

That Mincing Mockingbird is always spot on with his commentary... I love this motto and will adopt it for my own personal use as needed! The Crafty Hag just may be The Freak Who Can't Be Beaten! Sounds like a B-movie thriller, doesn't it? Also I love that this owl speaks Japanese. Thanks Mincy!

Louise Heroux - Quebec, Canada

A lovely bouquet arrived today from Louise H. in Quebec, with such a kind request how can we refuse but to send her some mail art in the coming days? She especially likes fish theme work, so come on all ye hardees, send 'em to: Louise Heroux, 33 des Acores, Gatineau, Quebec, Canada J8X 3G5
