Just to prove I can do a post!

Hello to all reading this post! Kym has very patiently stepped me through the process of doing a post - thank you so much Kym, I appreciate your time :)
I have a new book to read (an arty one of course!), so will sit down with my coffee now and savour both!
Watch this space as I will be posting more in the next couple of days!

    Yes Kym, I did enjoy my coffee and book! The writing turned out red as you can choose a colour when you are in that draft form, it's on the bit near spell check, bold etc..
    Hope you are enjoying your long weekend!

Phew!!! I think that's it!!
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,
Peta
