Another story of abundance. It's simply everywhere in my world. How lucky am I! Many weeks ago, a blogging friend of mine,
NANCY, sent me a parcel. It was around the time I had my surgery. She wanted to keep it a surprise, so didn't say anything. Well ... as you are starting to figure out, Mexico is not known for it's instant mail delivery. Six weeks went by. Nancy was getting figidty and finally sent me the tracking no. I took the tracking number to my mail service. Yes, they had received it in Laredo. No, they had no idea where it was now. It took another week and a half or so. Late this week it arrived. Full to overflowing with treasures. Not a square inch left unpacked. I know I missed a few things in the photographs. There were old National Geographics, one on Canada's first 100 years (1967), there was a gorgeous bundle of wide white lace. I hope I didn't miss anything else. Let me share the bounty ...

| Are these not gorgeous cabinet cards? Now I can make a book! |
 |
| Nancy's own hand painted papers. |
 |
| Hand made journal pages (by Nancy), a home made journal bag (by Nancy), very fifty's very vogue material, tons of ledger pages and wide decorative tape with my initial on it. |
 |
| Vintage Bingo cards .. great for journal covers, a Donna Parker novel, (love making personal journals out of these .. what a hoot), 'stuff' with my initials on it, fiber, and a pack of cards which says "Make yourself at home ... clean my kitchen." HA! |
Nancy! You know how much I covet all this 'stuff' ... Thank You lovely Lady.
I began another painting today ... she's blocked in however I will wait to post her. Also made a card to send to a friend. These sequin hearts are very "San Miguel" and I think they make lovely cards. Who ever receives it can re use the heart for their art!
