Another tagback from Book Chick on sendsomething.net:

Last time: Fairies

The postmark on the back from 18 October 2014 says "Go Team San Francisco!"

I think it's awesome that the post office is supporting their team (Giants versus Royals in the Series right now, btw).

Even Fairies Get Headaches

<Get ready for another long one>

In June 2012 I sent this postcard to the Book Chick in Sunnyvale, CA, with a list of my 10 favorite things.

Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero in "Chilperic" - Henri Toulouse-Lautrec

She sent back this postcard with her 10 favorite things listed on the back:

She also sent an envelope with some art:

"Even Fairies get headaches"

A photo taken in Alaska

And some digital art:

"Hey Stud"

"Specimen"

I think I'll use these for bookmarks!

So today I'm sending her another handmade card and envelope from the Character Sketches book, along with a recipe and a Friendship Booklet (FB) for Mika in Poland. (I didn't know what it was, so I had to look it up; there's a good tutorial over at Squidoo)

I added some color to this one:

It's Launcelot Gobbo from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." I added the book's description to the inside of the card:

And finally, a picture of my new stamps. I was tired of the same old forever stamps, and asked the lady at the post office for some neat ones. So here are my new bonsai stamps:

Oh My!
