I probably have several sitting in my p.o. I havent been for a couple of days, it is always in the opposite direction of where I need to go..LOL. I only have one left to do and shall finish it today.

Ack! I have to get my act together, I haven't even started, this is not good!

Come on Trish, get yer finger out!

all kinds of time yet trish,

I received Jangra's too. I still only have 1 done I have to start drawing too!! I dont work tomorrow so I'll have plenty of time I think.

Cheeky!

My first sixties card from jangra.I love the theme and how you went around it with neat colours .Thanks a lot Joanna

May be those poor kittens have a goo d explanation. Have you asked them? Joanna

joanna, these kittens are ALL excuse.. my lovely leather couch is now ruined, i can no longer have a decent roll of toilet paper, they have literally shredded the whole package of it and it hangs sadly on the wall all shredded up. I am NOT going to replace the shredded shower curtain till they grow some more, they love to play in the darn tub of all places and they hide behind the shower curtain and fight and play amongst it. I can not leave ANY mail on the counter as I will certainly find it on the floor somewhere, they are definitely my MARMALADE MASTERS OF MAYHEM.
The female tortures the yorkie, she simply adores him and follows him around and the other one loves the poodle and can be found curled up with him after a long nite of terrorizing the household.. I love them still though

Jeanne, your card must have missed all the red lights on the way over here!

Kay, they sound more like ginger terrorists to me! You can't restrict them to one room at night?? That might keep them under some slight control. My best friend has a kitten who has just grown out of the stage of leaping from the top of the dresser onto her face to wake her up at the crack of dawn for his breakfast! Glad I have dogs...........even if Buster is going through a 2nd childhood and will chew up my socks if he can get them, will even steal them from the clean clothes basket if I don't put them away quick enough, animals are such good teachers of neatness!

That is it I have finished all of my cards and they are in the mail. Now the fun begins

I have gotten two so far one from jangra a hippy mouse .. very cute , and a yellow sub from Joanna from the beatles . thank you !!I will scan when I get them all .

I got two in the mail today fro Zwagstra. So neat that they list a bunch of things that happened in the 60s. Really great. Thanks.

Kim I love your Avatar !! Great looking couple ! the Black and white photo would make a good a draw too.. bet you've thought about that already ..
Wish I had got in on this trade .. some awesome cards are popping up.. things are settling back down for me now.. I'll give the next one a go..

The pic is of me and my husbands brother who has now passed away .. we miss him and I do have a large framed photo in color of the same pic .

I recognised your Bro-In-Law from a previous post of him Kim...........a handsome lad - such a good looking crop !! Seriously worth a 2nd thought to create a fantastic portrait. Perhaps a Warhol type of look :

Sorry I edited it with GIMP and can only get it to come up as a file you have to open.

guys, i still have that ONE CARD left to do..I am waiting for my spirit to move me i guess

Steve I have " 5" more to do, do you want to send me a BOTTLE of what Kays having.

make mine a double

Are you sure you're old enough? I don't want to encourage under age drinking!

whew, that looks a little strong for lil ol me, but it does look like something my hubby would enjoy

That's a 30 year old single malt. Probably cost a months mortgage!

Edit

£500 per bottle. 825.76 US dollars

no doubt..it looks right off the top shelf

Pity I am not a scotch drinker - but I used to use the Glenfiddich that someone gave me in my pate - everyone loved my pate..............

Back in the eighties a local pub was closing down.......new owners - wanted to make a club type atmosphere, personally I think they were idiots who knew nothing of the alcohol business. They sold all these "fancy looking" bottles from a dust covered shelf for $5 a bottle figuring that the fancy bottles were about all anyone would want them for???? My Next door neighbour & I went to check it out and recognised the shape of a couple of bottles (labels couldn't be read for the dust) so we bought one each for $5. Washed them carefully at home and yup we were right but the age surprised us - 1933 Seppelt's Para Port Liquer.

We each saved them for a celabration.................... they were smoooooth.

I am so glad that everyone likes the cd, I thought it might bring a smile to your face, enjoy

yes gretchen i was smiling and singing all the way to town and back today, some of those i hadn't heard since i was a kid thanks again

I really enjoyed them too. Especially Dizzy as that is my new puppy's name. I was singing along and she kept looking at me. What's nice is that I can sing along with most of them. Well nice for me, maybe not so nice for anyone else who hears. lol

Same here Jeanne, I was just a wailing along, my dogs are looking at me like what the heck is wrong with her NOW!!
It was great fun to hear those songs again

Hooray! I finished my cards and I will go to the post office Monday. Just checking but there were nine people in the swap so we make 8 cards, right?

I thought there were 11?

Here are the cards I made.

Well done Trish! Lava lamps, that brings back some memories!

Good morning sunshines...trish those are lovely but i think you are 'short' one, the magic number is 9

Joanna make sure you let us see the brother too...you new grandchild is soooo adorable..how sweet

Trish, I sent a 2nd PM with Nancy's address as she was late with getting hers to me....is it that one that you missed?? Just check the front page list against who you have addresses for and let me know by PM if you are missing someone & I will send it to you.

Hi Sue I figured on 8 also. I see now that it is because your name is not on the list on the first page.
I do have all the addresses though.

William is almost ready to send out his cards.

Oops, I am glad I checked, ok, back to the drawing board for one more for Nancy.
