"Thankful Thursday...(#8)..."

As of this past Monday noon

these are the treasures which arrived in my mailbox this week...

First, a perky patriotic quilted card from Jodie in Texas...

The stitches on it at so very pretty and so well done.

A wonderful addition to my collection!

Then another western cowgirl ATC,

all blinged out,

arrived here on the desert scene

sent from Cheryl in Utah.

Entitled "These boots were made for walking"

she strolled in all fancy like and made herself right at home...

she even brought along some lovely little paper goodies.

What fun!

And finally, this beautiful monarch from Angela in Minnesota

joyfully fluttered into my heart

the nano second I laid eyes on her...

What exquisite color and design...so luscious and yummy...

an exceptional painting!

Thanks so very much everyone for your lovely trades!

Just a short note:

Since I am away on holiday

several of your cards arriving after Monday will not be posted until

after I return...I apologize for this

as I know it personally

makes me so very nervous

wondering if the cards I sent have landed safely.

I am sending positive thoughts and vibes

into the postal stratosphere...

keeping fingers and toes crossed that treasures land right

where they are supposed to.
