Mood:  happy

Alright, so, a year or so ago when the senior editor for Mail Me Art mentioned that my submission to the project might be chosen for the book they were compiling I was excited and flattered and happy and excited.  But thinking that maybe I was a last choice or an alternate or something possibly I wanted to get my hands on it before I told you guys I'M IN A BOOK!  And I did just that--it arrived yesterday evening and there on page 125 is me IN A BOOK!

If you've never heard of the Mail Me Art project it went something like this:  artists were asked to decorate the outside of a package/envelope with art so that the art might be seen and handled by every postal employee between the addresses of the sender and the Mail Me Art home.  I found out later that this wasn't such a new idea to cover envelopes with art as many of the participants were used to doing stuff like that.  I had always had more straitlaced views of the postal system, but you can rest assured those are gone now.

The contributors to Mail Me Art are varied and wonderfully skilled.  Even before and after page 125 I love flipping through the volume and seeing all the amazing ways they covered their envelopes and packages.

Last time I was in a book.
