"I'm late, I'm late for a very important date...

My complaint doesn't mean much to a malfunctioning scanner but a bit of jiggling got me going again!
So, among today's postings is this lovely wise tulip from Linda in Missouri, thank you Linda.

If I stand on my head..

I can see spring from here, unfortunately winter comes in between. Not so in the North where daffodils are trumpeting the advent of that season. This lovely delicate daff from the Arbrary comes courtesy of Rachel who lives in that state of bliss, California Thank you Rachel.

Unfortunately the post office had a bite out of the card.

A big bag of goodies!

Katarzia from Poland has sent copies of etegami she made to distract herself while she was in hospital recently plus an original and a couple of boxes of decorated matches. As someone who has spent a lot of time "hors de combat" I can appreciate the motivation behind her work. Thank you Katarzia and I am glad you are well again.

Words to live by.

A lovely valentine from Corinne in France quoting Vaucaire, words which should guide us all. Lovely, thank you Corinne.

"The best gifts are those that are given".

Well singe my whiskers!

A very funny card from Debbie in Hokkaido, she was moved  to paint this after seeing a Hobbit parody, actually having sat through all 100 hours of the movie (Oh it wasn't that long?) and suffering a numb bum, I needed a cheering up! Thanks Debbie.

Daffodowndilly,

Or something silly. Nothing silly about this excellent woodblock printed card from Shungo. Spring has hit the southern reaches of Japan so I guess flowers will be bustin' out all over. Thanks Shungo.

Toasted tootsies.

A humorous card from Lisa in Perth, they are still enjoying (?) 40 degree weather over there so I guess there are a few toasted tootsies to model for her! Thanks Lisa.
