                      | Kathy, I know how you feel about not getting a response to your Mailart. That happened to me one month and I was just sure that my recipient hadn't liked it. Well, I did end up hearing from her with a nice comment and email. There had been a crisis situation and she just didn't have time to acknowledge receiving it. Then, I felt bad that she had a lot of things to deal with and still managed to respond when she got a chance. Maybe something like that happened in your case. Also, I highly recommend doing the angel art. I feel so good knowing thay it may bring joy to someone and no response is needed.  MaggieMB |

                      | thanks Maggie-I had those thoughts as well, but this has happened to me several times now within the year I have been doing mailart. I had thought of the angel art too, as like you said I would never expect a response for those but would really enjoy making those. I think I will decide what I want to do for the July art-thanks again everyone for supporting comments

                      | Dear Carla, 
 Thank you soooo very much for the Mail Art! I am sorry that I did not post sooner, it slipped my mind and I have been busy lately because of a knee injury, surgery, etc. But the notebook is absolutely lovely and all my sisters were "ooh-in and ahh-in" over it! Thanks again!

 Did you receive my envelope? I sent it a few weeks ago and I just wanted to make sure that you got it.
 
 Thanks! Have a wonderful day!

                      | I decided on Cinco de Mayo for my May theme.....so here is what I sent to Catherine in Temple. 
 First researched the history....learned things most people probably don't know about the
 Battle of Pueblo which inspired the May 5th celebration.
 
 
  
 The front of the card.
 
 
  
 The inside of the card.
 
 
  
 Front of envelope.
 
 
  
 Back of envelope.

 I haven't been online lately and I guess I didn't realize that you didn't get the mail art I sent some time ago so I'm getting another one ready today and it will be sent out again today.  I'm so sorry you didn't get the other one!
