Hi,
I am sorry but I have nothing to share with you but I have a little true story to share with you.
On the 14th January, as we rushed back to Oxford, I asked my husband Vernon how much the card was to send to my penfriend in the US. Lou is at present stationed in Nebraska, we have been penfriend's since 1997, when she was in the Pentagon, then she went to Guam, back to the Pentagon, then to Florida, onto Seattle, Pentagon and now Nebraska, yes she moves about. She was even in the Pentagon when the plane hit on 9/11, she was unhurt but she had to ran for her life with the thousands of other staff working in there. We have meet once before we got married and she was coming over for our wedding but her leave was cancelled. I hope one day we will meet up again, but until then we will just have to email and use snail mail. Oh and she is a tatter, I have a lovely bookmark she made me some years ago.
I digress, It was her birthday in January and I gave Vernon the card with an airmail sticker to post.
So in the car back to Oxford I asked how much, the reply was "I stuck it in the postbox", but it had no stamp, with everything on our minds it had not registered to take it to the post office. Well I sent an email saying there is card on its way, but. We thought the card would not get very far, I had forgotten to put the sender on the back, so this card really was not going anyway but the Royal Mail bin or would cost an arm and leg when Lou got it, I might add I had said I would pay her whatever it cost if it got to her.
Last week we had an email from Lou, to say thank you for the card, it went though two international post offices, two continents, and flown across the pond, how much did she pay................NOTHING, yes I did say nothing. How many post office man/women handled the card we don't know but no one noticed there was not a stamp on it. See miracles do happen occasionally.
Have a nice day.
I hope to have something to show you soon, I have over the weekend picked up my shuttles and doing the Mayan Exchange item, yes well I scrapped the one I had worked on and started again, I hope I meet the deadline for posting. The Tat along mat is at a stand still, I have opened my Esty store today and added a couple of new items into it. We are slowly getting back into normal life. I did manage a craft table last Saturday although I did not feel up to it, I had a good day and came away with a couple of orders. Which I will share with you when they have received them.
Hugs
Margaret
Here is my card for the challenge this week, on the CD Sunday Challenge Blog link to their blog. Its Hugs and Wishes, it was hard to find the right image and then I found these that I had printed off to make a card sometime ago, so here is Popcorn Bear hugging a bunch of sunflowers. I use Popcorn Bear CD for the background and the three bears holding the sun flowers. this is one of my favourite images for Popcorn. I cut three triangles from silver miri board for each bear, I gave them some shape with a tool, I like to give images some shape rather than flat on the card. Put the words on a piece of peach card layered on a small piece of the silver miri board. Put a piece of ribbon down the side of card, which is from Joanna Sheens On line shop, her ribbon is one of the best I have brought. and finished off the card with silver pell off words and lines.
