While looking through my Dover Book of "" Women , A Pictorial Archive From Nineteenth-Century Sources" I came across the illustration of the over worked Mother and thought ,"Been there, Done that!"
With all the preparation that goes into the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, I knew she needed a little acknowledgement and applause. So I used Mother for my second entry into day's Mail Art Challenge.

These are fabulous...what a wonderful Thanksgiving treat to recieve one of them it the mail...Bravo!!!
Both of your mail art are fantastic, Paulette, love the thanksgiving theme - perfect!
Both pieces are superb, Paulette. We don't observe a Thanksgiving in Australia but I am always fascinated to read about the traditions involved. These slices of tradition are exquisite. Great work.
I've enlarged both pieces first Paulette to watch al the details.
So much work and so clever composed !! Great job and very well done. BOTH !!!!
Love both these pieces, Paulette!
Love it, love it.
both of your envelopes are just gorgeous!!
Hahahaha Paulette!
Very funny & well done!
Do you use to make the thanksgiving turquey yourself?
Because, it smells the real life (dishes & so one...)
Bravo!!
They are both fantastic! Lovely work.xx
Oh yum! these are wonderful!
Well, loud applause from me, Paulette, for both pieces but a standing ovation for your frazzled Mum coping with preparations AND baby.
Applause to you, too, Paulette! Lovely mail art!
I love both your Thanksgiving envelopes, Paulette. Reaching advanced age means passing the torch to younger family members for the traditional Thanksgiving feast. I miss having left-overs to snack on after everyone goes home! Turkey sandwiches the next day are the best of all. Now I go to my son's, take my famous three-corn casserole, enjoy the great grandchildren and savor the family fix!
Both of them are just fantastic. Now I just want to go find something to eat!
Beautifully done & so colorful!
Both pieces of art are very inspirative. I am so happy to be part of this challenge. You found the perfect combination between the thanksgiving theme and the traditional images.
