I look forward to 2008 and "Mailmania 3" happening in September . . . the year is ending on some exciting news . . . a documentary film in the works . . won't see the cutting room floors for some time yet . . but makes for some interesting times ahead I'm sure. I wish you all Peace and Hope ( and certainly Love and laughter) in the days forward.

I look forward to continued CorresponDances . . . the newest Anna Banana Stamp Edition arrived recently and I'm anxious to get them back out into the mail trail . . .

See you in the Poste

All the Best in 2008!!
