To Germany Unscathed
The postal system must've been on high speed delivery! I received news that my partner in Germany received the mailart I stitched for her. Here's what I sent Judith:

Beautiful Meari!!
Very pretty. Glad it made it to its destination.
It looks just great! In Cross Stitcher was just a free booklet full of Joan Elliott's lovely designs. I received recently a personal letter from her when I required after one of her earlier designs. I'm going to stitch a teapot clock that she designed.
The dragonflies are too cute! Nice job.
It turned out beautifully Meari!! I know your partner must be thrilled to receive such a lovely gift.
Very nice Meari!
What font are you using on your blog? I love it!
Meari,
You did a beautiful stitching job. Very pretty. Glad it made it to Germany safely and quickly.
Very beautiful! I'd have been so worried posting such a work of art!
It looks fantastic Meari. What a beautiful envelope and good that it made it safe and well to it's new home.
Gorgeous - what a lovely envelope for Judith to receive.

It is so pretty, Meari - I'm sure your partner loved it. You did a great job. I have that J.E. book too - gorgeous designs in it!
That's beautiful. I recognize it.

It came out beautiful Meari!
Wow..that was fast mail service! Sometimes I am amazed at how fast international mail is delivered! I sold some back issues of Cross Country Stitching on e-bay to a gal in Holland and she had them in 5 days! Amazing!
That envelope is fabulous!

Very, very lovely! Did you sew the snaps on or use a thing like a riveter (can't remember the name)? Your finishes are always great!
So nice! Glad to hear it made it there safely.
That is beautiful.

The mail art is beautiful, Meari.

When I sent my one and only Mailart to Gabi, I don't remember is I actually applied real stamps or had them so something with it. Glad it arrived safely and promptly.
Just so beautiful! Managed to get back to comments as anything other than 'Anonymous' - switched to Firefox and there's no problems now :)
