I thought I had all my cards in until I read this .. I went back and re-checked.. I still have Donna and Marilyn's yet to come in ..

yep, those are the only 2 left that I am waiting for too..

I just wanted everyone to know, Donna is creating her cards and will be getting them to us, she has had some personal issues to deal with but she contacted me to let me know that she is sending them..

No problem for me Donna .. Take your time..Hope all is well .. Carol

I'm missing two as well. I think its the same ones

I just took a look at all the cards and they are beautiful ..another missed trade for me .

I have got three more lovely music cards. Thanks a lot to jazzmanian for the silhouette trumpet player, to Gretchen for the "Lute", and to Shanna for the Tonga Drum! I am very happy with all of them!

I have the same two outstanding........glad all has worked out for Donna and I hope that her life stays uncomplicated.

I also hope that all is OK with Marilyn???

I received a note from Marilyn that's she's been extremely swamped. So she's okay, just having a hard time getting caught up.

Glad that all is OK - that is the main thing !

I am sure she will eventually crawl out from under what life has thrown her soon..............good luck with the swamp Marilyn.

Got lovely watercolour trumpet from Marilyn this morning. Thanks a lot. Hope all your problems are sorted out.

I too received a Card from Marilyn..
Marion Anderson in Ink and Watercolor. So special .
Marilyn and this goes out to anyone involved in these trades.. Sometimes we can not control the way life interferes with our hopes and plans .. and I certainly do not want this trade on my part to be an extra burden .. They should be fun and with good intentions even if they get interrupted as it did with you and Donna.. No card is worth the stress.. Take care of you and your family and don't worry that I will hold that against you.. Also Marilyn please never feel intimidated .. everyone has a style that is unique and I treasure them all. So thrilled you found your watercolors but I suppose the loss created a new challenge for you with the colored pencils.. All things happen for a reason ?
Take care Marilyn , thank you for all you do and best wishes .. I love your card ..
Carol

marilyn I rec'd my lisa simpson playing the sax..I ADORE THE SIMPSONS...I think next to "HOUSE" it is the best program on t.v. at the moment..

I got a beautiful card from Marilyn today and it is of herself at 9yo, learning the Flute.

I learnt the flute for while too Marilyn. My recorder teacher in school had been 1st Flautist in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra when he was a younger man. Unfortunately my family wasn't able to send me to flute class once he left .

It's not too late Bigs, find a local community band association they usually have ways to get involved.
(of course I highly recommend music as a hobby and social outlet!)

A nice lot of instruments there Marisa, and so many traditional, isn't it nice to see many instruments that aren't the run of the mill ? Even the instruments that I knew so well I got a knew twist on them, like the jazz horn etc. WOnderful trade and glad you lie all your cards.
