Hello Postcarders!!!

Hello Postcarders!!! First of all - if you look at the contributors list you will notice that Olga ( Olley) Bath is listed twice. Now... I'm not sure if that's because I'm lucky, clever, important or just plain selfish!! Actually I have a google/blogger account (which ever it is) at home & at the shop - both different email addresses & that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it. So, here I am finally after trying twice to actually post something & failing twice. I will not be clever enough this time to add photos - but I am working on it for next time. I have received all but one of my groups cards. I have finished one which I am posting back tomorrow - however I would selfishly like to keep it as I quite like the original art work & I have also received one of mine back (from Judy) which I lovvvvve & have added the finishing touch - the teabag folded star that I did for all of mine before sending them out & it looks great against Judy's absract art work. Peta - your photo is lovely - I'm jealous! I woke this morning to more cold winds, dry grass & only some spiders webs - but of the 'cover your gutter' kind, a lot of fog...gy brain matter after going to bed late & the only walk I got to do today was to the school office to get late notes for my kids! Skite (you, not me). Tee Hee. Well, I hope everyone has as much fun with this as I intend to & I look forward to the possibilty of an exhibition & to be able to meet those that I haven't met yet. Take Care, Keep Smilling & Happy Creating, Olley. PS has anyone played around with the font? What or who is Webdings supposed to be for??

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your participation, creative idea's and wonderful art works. For those of you who are having a break, or continuing with the postcards, please stay in touch, I have certainly enjoyed you all being a part of this collaboration. I hope at some point that we may all be able to come together to share our books and postcards with each other!
For those continuing with the postcards, I believe that Olley has already communicated with you about how you will be continuing with this great project.
For everyone, please if you can, complete the postcards you have in your possession, if this is not possible then simply return to the originating artist as is.
For those who have chosen to change to the Altered Book Collaboration I will send out a group email within the next week to outline the details.
Kym, I would like to thankyou for your wonderful efforts of setting up the blog and continuing to maintain it, it has been a valuable opportunity to share thoughts and art with others and to be able to connect with other collaborators across the country and the oceans - THANKS!!!
To Donna and Olley, a big thankyou to you both for so capably and gently encouraging your respective group members participation - THANKS!!!
Once again......THANKS!!! to all of YOU for your enthusiasm, participation and collaboration!!!
Cheers,
