Moss Street Paint In 2007

Another year has come and this marks the 3rd time Mailarta has shared her joys of the realm of Mail Art and (ATC's) Artist Trading Cards with fellow art lovers . . . Many Thanks to my team of Andrea Marrs, Cindy McMath and Jeffrey Errick for manning the booth and making ATC's with the eager artists along the route. You were wonderful! Merci! Merci!
The rain held off long enough for the closing of the artwalk and time for CoCo and I to grab a drink and relax with the sounds of a great band at the gallery grounds afterwards.
Here are a few pics from the event . .
Love and laughter always,
Mailarta
