I have just received the news that the first postcard I made arrived safely at its destination. So, it looks like this plan is going to work.
Week Two's postcard is still on a 'thank you' theme. As I briefly mentioned a few posts ago, my cash-strapped younger brother hand-made our Christmas presents. All his own ideas, he went to the effort of researching his tasks; he improvised when things went wrong; and he even sat down at the sewing machine (and I checked all the seams of the bag he made - they are all very straight and very tidy).
I was, and still am, amazed at the boy. He has certainly kept this talent quiet. Anwyay, postcard number two is for him - to say thank you for the effort he spent on us.
He'll appreciate it so much, as this time he'll know how much love and care went into it, same as the present he did for you :) ... I still have your thank you postcard on my desk ... I should have showed it to you, when you were here :)
ReplyDeleteDid you doodle the bits behind the thank you yourself? I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh great bit of mail art, love the little doodles. Kim
ReplyDeleteAAAh that is so sweet, I am sure he will be surprised to recieve it. That's a lot of work on a small piece!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely - do you send them as postcards or do you put them in an envelope. Am just thinking what a smile these must bring to the posties face.
ReplyDeletesuch cute doodling! what an awesome brother!!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks everyone! Sian, I did do the doodling, yes, but it's a far cry from the doodling I used to do in school (yes, during lessons, but I WAS still paying attention!) - it's been years! Carmen, I confess, I sent them in envelopes, even though the authors of the Good Mail Day book say not to hide the art you make. I was too nervous about them getting damaged! x
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, love the doodles! I was a doodler at school too :)
