My 6th birthday postcard is from Norma Bullen (nee McPherson) a friend of Ro Bruhn. I was delighted when Ro put my swap on her blog & suddenly I had people wanting to swap from Austrailia, the UK Sweden & Denmark. Others have since come from Linda at Blue Eyed Girl & Mixed Media Julie. I'm delighted that everyone is putting my postcards on their blogs - I feel totally famous!
Norma doesn't have a blog but is lucky enought to have regular sessions with Ro, over there in Victoria. We can enjoy all this vocariously & I'm so glad the slow tantalising opening of these cards is appreciated by more than just me & my family - they do try to get out of earshot as I open them!
To her card!
This is inspired by the outback & I can just imagine walking thru these lovely colors, as intended by Norma; soft to the touch, embellisher felted & beaded with sparkles.
This card is wonderful, I feel warmed, thank you
I have had some great comments - the clematis does well here - even tho a thug if it's hardy, I'll have it (well, within reason) . Yes I would gladly come to New England to plant one!
Hello to sparkly fairy, I can't see your blog!
This is the first collage that's come out of the postcards & in the true spirit of a swap I've given it away to my good friend Jo (no blog or computer even!) who's birthday is tomorrow. We had a delicious lunch & she brought the cake - I was going to make one, honest ;) Excuse the glare, I really should take the pic before I foil it.
I'm behind/missed seed sewing but I had my first rather unripe strawberry from the greenhouse 6 days ago. Today they were sweet & juicy. I've got 3 pots I bring in early spring & lots of pretty flowers on the plants ouside.
It's still sunny & a breeze to keep the midges away - I'm off out to get the cabbage plants bought last weekend in!

SweetiePie told me about your birthday 'cards', is it too late to sign up, I think its a wonderful idea and would love to make you something special :)
What a gorgeous card from Australia and your postcard for your friend is beautiful. Guess what? Yours is made! I shall get it into the post after the weekend.
Wonderful touch of the outback, makes me think of the movie Australia, which I saw not long ago, and the lovely Hugh Jackman!!!
You gift to your friend is wonderful. Glad you are enjoying this so much!!!
