You can draw you're own conclusions as to the sweet story being told.

I think turtle's gonna win.

Had a lasagne the other night and so used the packaging from that, added three Queen "stamps" and "cancelled" them with some rubber stamps I've had in a box and not used for ages - spot the little pig!

I had a dream that the tea in my teacup turned into a flutter of butterflies.

A just for fun collage!

I loved both of these images, so decided to combine them. Spring rules over a lush, green labyrinth!

The weather has been so spring-like here this week. Today, it's about 35 deg. outside, and we've had snowflakes, then sleet! Who cancelled Spring? I'm really ticked off about it. Thus this mail-art piece: where I want to be and what I would much rather be doing!

How in the richest nation in the world can there be so many people homeless? What can be done to change this? What could we do with the cost of a couple of Patriot missiles to help these souls?

I used to keep a daily journal in my college and early marriage years. I poured my heart out and really had no secrets that had to be hidden. Life has changed all that. Now I have to keep so much to myself -- life happened, and it happened hard. Sad that I've lost that in my life.

The little diary actually opens. I'm going to write a drunken memory on the inside pages before I mail this. It could be a drunken memory created tonight because I think I shall have three glasses of wine instead of my usual two.

The quote is attributed to Ernest Hemingway, who knew a thing or two about drinking too much.

Blithering Idiot barley wine is not a lovely beverage. I did buy this one for the label.

This beer is my all-time favorite beer. I could drink a whole bottle of this, all by myself.

Greg and I saw Spamalot on stage a year or so ago. I enjoyed it, but I'm not as big a Monty Python fan as Greg. When Monty Python and the Holy Grail came out in movie theaters in the 70s, I got so scared by the rabbit that I had to leave.

I was supposed to post this last night, but I got carried away with making work related mailart. Sadly, when I emailed the office manager a copy of what I wanted to send to our store managers, it scared her, so I guess I will be recycling those five postcards. Some people just don't "get" mailart. I'm not a scary person. Really. .

As I sometimes worry about my child, I cannot but ponder what thoughts must be going through the minds of mothers in Japan and Libya -- and other areas of the world where the citizens are not as blessed as we are. So, kudos to all the mothers of the world.

The inspiration for this comes from Robayre and a post she did - It gave me a good opportunity to try out all my new Tombow colors.

Of the series "the study of the metaphysics"

Playing catch up with materials I picked up in the almost outback.

As big fans of Glee, youngest daughter made this a while ago but she used a rather light pencil for most of the writing so I went over it in pen last night and here it is - let the show begin, jazz hands and losers!!

Who's your money on -- the turtle or the hare?
