Happy Mail

 Em's Birthday card to me...Sorry Em, that I am posting so late... She sent this to me Month's ago
and I am finally getting around to posting this fabulous card!  My pic isn't that great...but you
can see her easel cards here, and she also posted a tutorial on how to make this.  (No, I have not
tried it yet...smile.  In fact, I have made very few cards lately.   Must get back into making cards..
I do miss it!)  Thank you again, Em!

I also received this Lovely card from Darnell for our Anniversary (which was almost two months
ago.  Yes, Late Again!  (My post that is...Darnelle is amazing how she remembers all these special occassions and sends the cards on time too!)   A link to Darnell's fabulous blog is on my sidebar.  You can see that

Thank You, Darnell, Leanne, and Sandy...

I haven't had much time for crafting lately...so today's post is to show the "Happy Mail" that I have received lately.

It's always such a joy to go to the mailbox and find something in the mail besides bills and junk mail!
And what a joy to find these goodies in my mailbox from Darnell, Leanne, and Sandy.

Many people who read my blog know Darnell,   Darnell's posts are such a joy to read.  If You need a smile go visit Darnell's blog...

Her cards, tags and photography are always a joy to see too.

and here is an example of one of her fabulous one layer cards!  So creative! 

and it really made my day brighter.  Thank you so much, Darnell.

 I also found this wonderful one layer card in my mailbox from Leanne.  Leanne's blog can be found here...

 Leanne's cards are so pretty.  She definitely has a gift for using dies, and she also has some great tutorials on her blog to learn how to make some of the pretty flowers that she makes to use on her cards.  Thank you so much Leanne, for thinking of me, and sending this great card.  You and Darnell, have inspired me to try making some one layer cards.  (I find one layer cards to be the most difficult for me to make!)

I also opened my mailbox to find a package filled with lovely Ephemera from Sandy.  I won some goodies from Sandy, when I posted a comment on her blog.  Sandy's wonderful blog can be found here...

  Sandy's is a mixed media artist.  Her work has been published in many magazines.  She has a gift for making exquisite journal pages, jewelry, and her photography is wonderful.

Thank you so much Sandy, for making my day with your package of goodies.  I like all the bright cheerful yellow.  I picture your lovely assortment being used to make some tags.  (or some journal pages).

Thank you again, ladies...You are all so gifted and special...
