Hi Mari-Lyn and son :)
I am so glad you liked it. I loved making it for you My boyfriend and I go out on hiking and photography trips throughout Florida for a book he is writing on Floridas Wildflowers. So I go along collecting flowers, leaves and the flutterbys (as we call them) I dont kill the Flutterbys I only collect them when they are found dead. I press them in a book and let them dry out. Then I use them on cards or other art pieces. I use a decopage glue over them... thats it  . Simple. He can do it also 
Have a wonderful spring

| I got a really nice March card from Sharon Bakke in WA. It unfolds to spell March with a cute victorian card at the end and it folds and ties with a golden cord. There is a Kinney crest on the front(Irish). Love it! You did such a great job! |

My mail art arrived today from Mel in Texas...I was completely blown away...she did an incredible job front and back of everything and even included an Irish recipe for a wonderful soup to go with my own recipe of Irish Soda Bread I recently found! This card and envelope will be treasured and will go in a special treasure box for me to take out and look at again and again. Thank you so much, Mel! xxx Paula

You are so very welcome Paula. I LOVE doing mail art! I'm so glad you are enjoying it.
The Irish Soda Bread should be a delightful accompaniment to the Barley soup.
My best to all,
Mel

Sheree K. you have made my day today, it has not been a good day. Had to take my hubby to the airport he is heading to California for a week to work, even though we have been married 36 years I still cry when he leaves as I miss him so. On top of that I have been sick for a couple of days and not sleeping so I took myself to the emergency room this morning. I have and infection so am on antibiotics and pain pills. So, I am sad and feeling blue. Stopped at the mail box on the way home and there was my beautiful mail art from you. For your first attempt it is fabulous and I am so happy you were my swap partner. Live, Laugh and Love should be everyone's motto. In fact I am embroidering a towel with this words on them. I will treasure it always and display it proudly, thank you so much for making me feel special.
Farm girl Hugs,
Debbie |

Great it worked. Didn't Toni send me just the cutest things. The apron is actually 3-D on the card. My next purchase is a better camera. The other cards is actually a mini album to add pictures to. Love it! Love it!
