I'm quite sure in both Sammi's unm. rr and the ttpo group, I was in group 4. Actually, I think I read in a numerology book that my number is four. Which seems strange to me....but anyway...(yes, there was a point to this.) It is here and I will be sending it to Susan Bently in Tucson soon. Thanks Laurell! While I'm thinking of it, I've gotten some awfully cool mail lately. Donald Evans' cards from Holly Holden and Paula Baymiller. I got the sun swap (thanks Stargazer!) and I got some great stamps from Sue Beck (thanks, Sue!) And probably other things I've forgotten. Outta my way--I'm going to bed!

Then she made a postcard with a castle, a wistful looking woman and a hand holding several watches. She mounted this card on top of the other card. This she labled "A time of Magic" Cheryl Dobkins - used cardstock (white on one side and red with white hearts on the other), a romantic couple silhouetted in black. Linda Sobolewski - made a postcard stamped with a stamp of another postcard and a woman merging with the three, then she painted the black spaces with copper paint. I cannot explain this card any better than this, you must see it to believe it. SukiQ@aol.com - a white postcard with a landscape scene. Within the scene you see a man bowing his head and a woman dancing with a sword of fire. Cynthia Sillitoe - a lavender postcard with gold embossing of "Once upon a time", a trail of stars, and a prince and princess couple. Linda Sobolewski - a muted green postcard with a woman standing in a boat on rough seas. There are several seagulls flying around her.

I can see that you had GREAT fun putting this package together. And the care that you took over the past few weeks collecting all this neat stuff is really evident. Thank you so much. It couldn't have come at a better time. We finished with our animation art auction, but now I'm a little stressed out trying to get everything ready for Annie's 2nd birthday party on Sunday. I had just come home from buying all the paper goods, cookies, candies, treats for the goodies bags, etc...and saw this HUMONGOUS box on my front porch! But first I had to haul all the supplies in...and because i'd bought them at Cost/Price Co they weren't in boxes or bags, which meant many trips back and forth before I could get to that most tantalizing package. (By the way, please thank Treefarmer again for being such a nice go-between...and, I think, for sending your package! Or at least being willing to be the return address.) Anyway, I carefully cut around the address label in case it was a card. Hmm...it had a note about Gingerwood. Is that a clue? Opened the box, and the first thing I pulled out was a packet of decaf coffee. Vienna vanilla. Mmmm. Followed by swiss mocha almond and hazelnut. More mmmm. I shall definitely make a pot to relax with later. (Thanks again for making it decaf.) The next packet was flower petals, with a note about adding it to a paper mixture. Hmmm. Could this be a clue as to what would be forthcoming? Then I pulled out this huge coffee can, filled with baggies of delights like gold wire, tinsel, play money, and raffia, all with notes about being useful for embellishing...or in papermaking. A definite theme was emerging! More baggies of fun papermaking stuff: lovely sparkly floss and cord (also great for embellishing), neato black flock-y stuff... I take it you make your own paper? My mom was visiting and watching me pull all these goodies out. "Hmmm," says she, "all this stuff to make paper...but she's not telling you how to do it." "Wait," said I. And pulled out--LOL--a "Tin Can Papermaking Kit!" All the stuff needed to make my own paper except the tin can--and you'd already provided it! Very clever. Then I pulled out a fun little handmade cotton sachet, stamped with a kitty face on one side and a heart on the other. Must be some kind of herb I said, sniffing. But I couldn't smell anything. Very cute, though, I thought, and set it on the table so I could dig for more stuff. I next pulled out several project sheets for Cotton Press mold. Fun stuff! Suddenly my two cats Buckwheat and Blossom were on the table, tussling. What's going on? I wondered. And then realized they were fighting over the sachet. Can you see the lightbulb going on over my head? It was catnip! You made a present for my cats! You're so thoughtful. I tossed the sachet on the floor, where they continued to play keep away with it. Ah--next was "catnip" for moi: a baggie full of all kinds of chocolate candies. Some of them may even make it to Annie's party on Sunday (but I wouldn't bet on it!). A second catnip sachet. One for each kitty. I should have known you wouldn't forget I had two. Now they don't have to fight over it. (Though I have to tell you...hours later and they're still sniffing around the original box...that scent must really linger. Oh my...and still the box wasn't empty. A paintbrush next (one can never have too many of those). An "everything" box: six drawers in a tiny box that can sit on my desk and hold confetti, paperclips, tiny stamps...this will definitely be put to immediate use. A set of 4 Aleene's glitters in Victorian colors (chartreuse, blue, fuschia, and gold--very pretty). A packet of exquisite marbled paper, all in dark tones. It is beautiful. And more glitz: containers of blue and gold Crystal Stars glitter. An angel cookie cutter (for my Angel Annie). Alphabet stampers for Annie. (With washable ink, thank you very much!) She knows her whole alphabet now, so this will be lots of fun. Sports confetti (footballs, baseball bat, etc.)--it'll be perfect for Howard's father's day card. A catalogue from Jim Stephans! Neat stuff. Clever: a whole fistful of paint sample chips with a note that they'd be perfect for key rings or gift tags. You're right...and the first key rings will be for nephews Matt & Dan! And maybe even something for each of the kids coming to Annie's party on Sunday. What perfect timing! Last but definitely not least: an absolutely huge flexible cutting mat. This is exactly what I wanted (especially now that I'm carving stamps). You are so thoughtful. Thank you also for the nice note you included. (And don't worry--even if you'd signed your name I wouldn't tell! ) I can't believe how lucky I am to have you as my SS. I can't wait to know who you are...but I already know the most important thing, that you are generous, thoughtful, and kind. Do take care...and "see" you next month!
