Lolo scored twice!!

Today this amazing, beautiful painted postcard came from Caroline in Malaysia!
The colors are translucent and the texture is delicious. I adore this!!
She must have heard me say how much I like trees :)
The quote says...
"If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees."
~Hal Borland~

Thank you Caroline! I hope you're healing well and will back in full swing soon.♥



This is the other wonderful gem that came today! It's a laminated sign for my door that tells folks exactly what I need!
The beautiful quote on the other side says...
"Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow the end, but somewhere in the middle we've become the best of friends."
This is so perfect Marianne, and so very beautiful!
I love it, and you ;) ♥
Thank you ladies! I'm very, very grateful!

Debra's Postcard for Lynn!

Thanks Debra. This card is large and professionally printed! Way to go!Now I am wondering if I have it upside down.
Anyway you look at it it's a winner!
;-)

From Patty to Joss


This is how Joss was supposed to receive her card - 3 items have been torn from the front! I guess it is a long ways from Alaska to London, but you'd think the postal people would be a little more careful! I wrote on the back that I selected this quote especially for you Joss because you teach children. It is one of the most important jobs in the world, yet I don't think teachers always get the praise they deserve! Thank you for teaching our children!

Suki receives a card from Cat

Oh La la. Happy pink spring flowers are blooming. Lovely Cat. On the back: "If friends were flowers, I'd pick you."

From Patty to Joss


My card from arrived from Patty in a very poor state, As you can see the front has been torn, almost the whole picture was hanging off and the back of the card is almost illegible.
I have tried to patch it up, and I think the words read:
"Teaching children is not always ....(is it enjoyable/easy/fun?), but one of the most valuable? things you could do in this world." What fantastic words.
Thanks Patty for the herd of elephants tramping across the wide open 'veldt', and the words.
This is the chance we have all taken with our cards, sending them off into the far horizon (uncovered) across millions of miles. If some didn't arrive batterd and bruised, I would wonder why. If there is ever a round 2, I would definitely put mine in envelopes, which I suppose would defeat the whole purpose, so I probably wouldn't play...sigh.

Cat's Picasso Cat for Marianne

"God is really just another artist.
He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat.
He has no real style,
he just goes on trying other things!
~Pablo Picasso~
This card got in the mail today!
Did you know I love cats Cat????? ☺
Love this card also!
Thanks Cat!

A Postcard for Lolo from Patty

This is such a perfect card for me! I definately have raven as one of my totem animals, so thank you Patty!
And yes, I was told by my mother that we were part Native American which my sisters roared about. Hey, I know she told me that...whether it's true or not, I'll never know.
I love how well you cut out the raven, but then again you're a master with scissors!
I love it...it will have a place of honor in my studio with all the other ravens ;)
