Good morning (or 'Ola' as Amelia might say) and welcome to Wednesday!

A Week in the Life of Parcel Post: Monday

Hello and a very fine Monday morning to you!

Imagine for a moment that you could be anywhere you wished, just by imagining it. Where would you wish to be? Perhaps the top of the Eiffel tower, perhaps the moon, maybe right where you are.

All this week, let's use this blog to transport us to a new Parcel Post site each day. By following along together we can all imagine ourselves on Monday mornings, joining Gwen and Hollis and Kathy and all the participating artists at ACE as they gather for their latest session.

Here are some pictures from a Monday morning two weeks ago when the first new boxes arrived in the mail at ACE.

See you all tomorrow for the next leg of our journey. Happy Monday!
