I received these in the mail from Christine last week. She is the sweetest!! It was totally unexpected, such a surprise. Thank you Christine!!

See, she sent me the beautiful book The Red Tree. I love the images in here. They are so inspiring. I wish I could create such beautiful images. And look! Her goccoed notecard. It’s just the kick in the butt I needed. Once I saw her card I finally drew something that I wanted as my first try with my little blue machine. Now I just need to go to the store and buy some paper to print it on.

I just have to say I don’t know how come I’m so lucky to connect to such kind people. It amazes me. Five years ago I could not have imagined finding new friends through the internet. And yet here I am, with such thoughtful friends. I am grateful for all of you, all those who comment and all those who lurk, all these people I’m connecting to. I do read every single comment. Each one brings a smile to my face and I’m sorry I don’t reply to you all. But thank you, thank you all!
