On Saturday my mail from Donna came after a very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong journey from Mexico to Germany, it might have been quicker on foot! You can see the green customs sticker on the right side, so I suppose my letter had a long rest on somebody's desk before making the last lap of the journey! But I got it in the end! Donna made a gorgeous envelope, as always, with a whole battery of Ronald Reagan stamps. The envie is going into my collection of collectables, too!
The back:
And this lovely little collage, which is now in my arty kitchen:
This is a bit problematic, as I only have vodka - wonder if that works too?
A beautiful collaged postcard:
And one of Donna's great photos:
And if that wasn't enough, she sent me loads of images and die cuts etc., which made my crafty heart very happy. Thanks a lot Donna!
I made several tags at the weekend, but one is for Tag Tuesday, and 2 are on their way to California, so I can't show them yet. But I can show you my Autumn rain man. The BG paper is from 7 Gypsies, the TH die-cut has been cut from some hand painted paper, and the small image is from Gecko Galz.
I am linking this tag to the Fall into Fall challenge at Frilly and Funkie
Thanks for looking, have a good day, and take care!
Hoe kind of Donna, to send you such a lovely envelope full of goodies - enjoy! Love your tag, too. Hugs, Sarah
