Comment: Hi there, it's been awhile since we've swapped. I hope all is well with you. Thank you for the great ATC. The image and design you chose are perfect. And thank you for your concern. Luckily, our side of the state was spared. The weather lately is just unbelievable. Thankfully crafting is a nice distraction. Thanks again for your kindness and thank you for the extras.

Comment: The. most adorable hedgehog EVER! And he is is...the hedges! I have never seen a hedgie in real life, but after seeing pet hedgehogs on Instagram, I believe I would like to liberate one from the hedges and keep it for my own selfish pleasure, they are just that cute. However, even with my desire to have one of my own, I have very strict beliefs about where "wild" animals need to live, and (except for those who are injured or such infants that they cannot survive on their own) that is in the wild. In nature. So I will make do with my wee foster kittens...and believe me, there is no "making do" where they are concerned! I can't imagine what took me so long to embrace being a foster mom! I love them so, so much, and seeing them evolve from tiny lumps of neediness into active, hilarious, furry balls of pleasure for someone else to love forever...well, it's everything! (How did I get here from "thank you for the adorable hedgehog"???)
Response: They are such an adorable creature, but I agree with you that leaving them in their natural habitat is best. Sounds like you & the fluffy fur balls have bonded nicely! My foster winter child has joined C.B. & they are getting along pretty well. Thank you for the heart.

donetta rated for ACTs: Call of the Wild: Wolf (1:1) on Oct 4, 2024
5
rating
Comment: I just love the gorgeous wolf ATC you made for me! Not only do I see a majestic creature of the wild, but that layered background is fantastic! I always sign the Facebook petitions to stop the hunting of wolves, although I never donate...only because I already donate to two cat rescues and one fruit bat rescue in Israel. I have no affiliation with Israel; it's all about the bats for me. I'm a sucker for the underdog, and people are so ridiculous about bats. I love that there'a a refuge for the orphaned puppies and injured adults. Also...thank you so much for the gorgeous little sparkly rhinestones! I use them all the time! I am currently fostering two bottle baby kittens (it's my first experience with fostering, and I am overwhelmed...it's like caring for a human preemie, almost!), I am lacerated from their little murder mittens, and getting up every 2-3 hours overnight is hard for this old lady. It's put me into a bit of a fibromyalgia flare, which won't stop me from fostering, but it makes it more difficult than it should be. Enjoy your seasonal kitty, and let's keep on swapping with everything we have!
Response: I donate almost exclusively to ecological, animal & bird charities. I absolutely love bats! You are so good to foster kittens! I’m waiting for my little black demon to arrive & I’m interested to see if C.B. has missed her. Can’t wait. Glad you liked my Wolf ATC & the sparkles. Thank you for the heart. Nice to have you as a partner again, my friend.

Comment: Thank you Dianne for the PC. I love pandas, very cute. Spring has been cold here but slowly getting warmer. Daylight savings starts this weekend, so this means there will be more light in the evenings.

Comment: Love the surreal aspect of this card, Di, thanks :) No idea what a "shoulder" season is; please explain!
Response: The “shoulder” season is the time line after the hectic, busy time of summer into the quieter time of autumn into winter. Rates for hotel/motel rooms fall, sensible prices resume for services and traffic on the roads drops. Some say, and I agree, it’s the best season of all. Beaches are uncrowded, weather is comfortable & we resume our regular quieter routines. Thank you for the compliment & the heart!

Comment: Oh Di...just WOW! Naturally I am a bit tardy with this swap, and I'm so happy yours arrived before I actually made mine...I just glossed over the part of the swap description that said GIRLS, and had chosen 2 Victorian ladies! Anyway, back to yours: just so lovely! I adore making master boards, and quickly realized that they make stellar backgrounds for almost any subject. Yours are proof of that! Thank you for always being the absolute BEST swap partner and friend!
Response: I almost did the same thing! I’ve had to really pay attention to sizes & descriptions lately. This beautiful weather is messing with my concentration! Masterboards are fun to do after supper in the evenings & I try to keep up with the scraps so I don’t get buried! I’m glad you enjoyed the girls. Love being your friend & swapping with you!

Imagine me bowing deeply in appreciation...when I stand up, I will do just that, in the direction of Massachusetts! I'm thrilled to be swapping again, although to be honest, my apartment is a chaotic jungle and I have to forage for "ingredients" and make do in ways I haven't done in 20-is years!
Response: I am drowning in your praise! Thank you for the encouraging compliment. You are such a good friend & have taught me so much through your swaps. I hope your crafting corner in the apartment comes together soon so you can have all your fabulous elements at your fingertips (but think of all the ideas you will get while you arrange them).

Comment: You and I were thinking on the same lines when we created our skunk cards-I put roses on mine! I read the instructions wrong when I made my swap-I thought it was to be ink box and then realized in time it was to be an index card-so I stretched it out-added stuff and hope my partner doesn't catch on-OH DEAR! Thanks for the extras you sent-I love children's book pages and woodland elements. Always a joy to swap with you-Take care-Georgene
Response: I have done the wrong sized swap, too. All I could think of when I thought of the skunk was “Flower” from the Bambi movie, so I had to use them. I’m glad we think alike! Glad you liked the extras. Thank you for the heart & see you in the USAPC Poe Swap (maybe).

I've already had a 2-day power outage from Hurricane Debby who was only a tropical storm by the time she came by here. August & September are the peak of hurricane season here. Once bitten, twice shy.
Response: He does have a wandering eye, doesn’t he? Sorry one of the girls lost her head on the way! It’s been a beautiful week now that August is almost over. Two more weeks ‘til school starts & the tourists depart. Then it’s weddings, honeymooners & senior citizen bus tours. Thank you for the heart.

Comment: Hi Dianne! Can't believe I git you for sending and receiving in this swap! How fun 😃 The Snoopy riding a bike is adorable! That was a lot of difficult fussy cutting... great job. Love Woodstock on the back hitching a ride 😁 So funny, my uncle used to work at Dodgertown as their accountant (for over 30 years) in Vero Beach. Had 4 cousins that grew up there. My uncle has passed 😇 and most if his kids have moved to Tallahassee. Thank you for the fantastic atc. I recognize most of those towns on the map background! Brings back memories. Thank you for the fun extras. I always love to see what you'll add for me! The musical paper strip is so unusual, and beautiful! lots of little pieces for vintage atcs too. awesome. I'm sorry to hear of the death in your family. You are in my prayers. Can I do anything? Thank you for joining the swap. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you in another one soon. 💜💜
Response: Hi Leslie! Love being paired with you! Glad you liked Snoopy & Woodstock & the extras. I’m running low on extras, so they’re mostly pieces I haven’t used in swaps. Is your move finished? I hope you get settled & ready to rev up swapping again! Yes, another death in the family—this time my only sister-in-law who was the same age as I by 3 days. My only sibling (brother) lives next door, so I was able to help. It’s cooler here & less humid than last week. Stay cool & keep hydrated!

Yours is simply wonderful, as is your maternal chicken! I adore chickens, and I swear I would have a coop and some pretty chickens if I had the room. And if the zoning allowed for it. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but your masterboard background is truly amazing...and I have decided that this is my favorite way to create backgrounds now. I have yet to see a completed work of art that doesn't "go" with a masterboard background. Thank you for the wonderful artworks, and for the lovely extra papers, my friend! I'm sending you a pm right now.
Response: I’m with you, my friend. I love doing Masterboards at night, after supper, when the house is depressingly quiet. I have never seen a wood duck, but they must be gorgeous to see. Thank you for your encouraging comments & the heart. Will check my msgs. & respond.📮

Comment: Hi Dianne and thank you so much for these very special bird coins. I am so impressed with your artistic ability. I go looking for images of birds and you draw your own - and draw so beautifully! Such a talent. These are both just wonderful and I loved your note accompanying them. I remember lots of birds in my childhood in the midwest that I no longer see. Of course we have different birds in Southern California, but the bird population everywhere seems to have suffered due to either global warming or encroachment on their habitat by population explosion. We do have a lot of quail here in the desert and they are fun to watch scurry about. All of the ones we have here have a little feather top knot so they are easily recognizable. Thanks for you for such a fun swap and for all the extra goodies as well!
Response: I am so encouraged by your comment! I have always liked to draw & try as often as possible to create something by hand. Nature is suffering so much from our careless treatment of Mother Earth. Hopefully it is not too late to save her. Our quail in the Northeast don’t have the “feather in the hat”, but they are so cute. Sadly, I don’t see or hear them anymore. Thank you for the heart.

The grass and plants are loving it, us not so much as the hubby cannot mow for at least five more weeks, so we have to depend on someone else, always hard to do - sigh! Thank you again for the awesome Happy Mail! All the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)

Response: So glad you liked the birds! As far as socializing, I have one friend who insists I go out at least twice a week & another who I meet once/wk. (she goes to the pain clinic for hip & sciatica). Otherwise I’d be in the craftroom every day. It’s a nice balance. Thanks for your encouraging comment and the heart, my friend!

And thanks so much for the extra goodies. Those little tiny owls - so cute!!

I used to skate for hours on end as a child. Now, I think I'd fall on my tush more than anything!! Lol. Thank you for the fun extras, too. Happy New Year!
Response: How tiny the feet were back then—try finding a size 4 these days! I used to use street roller skates (the ones with the key) on the ice until I got some figure skates. I’d fall, too, and at this age would need help to get up & probably break my hip. Happiest of the New Year to you. Hope it’s better than last year for both of us, my friend. Thank you for the heart.

Comment: Gosh, what an elegant nighttime owl! I love the magnificence of him amongst the tattered leaves (I may or may not have that die cut set, but if I can't find it I will order it immediately!). But I'm not surprised, because everything you make is beautifully thought out and detailed. Thank you for the gorgeous old book pages...I am besotted. As Natasa from Treasure Books says "A normal person would toss these old things in the bin...but we are not normal, are we? We see the value in EVERYTHING!" I lost my sweet Kiki about a week ago. She had an inoperable esophageal tumor, and literally could not breathe without oxygen being pumped into her lungs. I am heartbroken. I have ordered 3 sage smudge sticks from Amazon (you really can buy everything on Amazon) to rid my home and myself of the bad energy that has dogged me since my BFF died in August. I will let you know if it works...meaning, if no additional disasters happen in my life for the next year.
Response: Thank you for the lovely comment & I totally agree with you about the “bin” comment. I used to wet a napkin before we left a restaurant, pinch pieces of plants I liked, wrap them in the napkin & place them in a zip-loc bag stowed in my pocketbook. When I got home, I’d drop it in a clear juice glass with water & put it in a sunny window. It would start to root in about a week. Got TONS of free plants that way! Thank you for the heart. I am so sorry you lost your soulmate. You have had so much to deal with this year. My heart aches for you. The smudge stick(s) should help. Sending you condolences & peaceful thoughts, my friend.

Comment: Great to receive from you today-just today I mailed the 5 x 7 dinosaur collage to YOU! Besides the great shark ATC-thanks for the extras. Love vintage Halloween images but especially love the "scary" black buttons. We have SNOW forecast for next week but not a major storm-so that gives you an idea how cold it gets here at night! I went out and bought a new electric mattress pad yesterday-other one has just quit giving out heat. I leave it on during the day and my two cats love to sleep on a heated bed!!! Happy Halloween!
Response: Wow! Snow—we are still waiting for the 1st frost. So glad you liked the Halloween stuff. Cats certainly know where to keep warm—you are sweet to leave the pad on for them. Happy Halloween 👻 & thank you for the heart.

Response: Thank you for the compliment & the heart! I just cut between the dots with scissors & use good tweezers, making sure I pull up the glue under the dot & then push down hard with the tweezer handle to set. If that doesn’t work (which is rare), then I apply a bit of Aleene’s tacky glue. Hope this helps.

Comment: I adore your ATC!! I have always used glossy accents for rain and puddles. I love the holographic stickers you used! They really get the point across, and they are very pretty too. The little girl looks like she is having fun playing with the duckling. Very whimsical! So lovely to be swapping with you again... it's been so long. I have to admit, my back does get sore sitting at the table, but I tend to be a bit over-zealous and overstay my bodie's welcome because I'm so excited to be swapping again 😆 Hope all is well at "The Cape of Cod" these days. This is the time of year to be there, if you are off the beaten path, right? Extra 💕 🧡💚💛💜💙❤️
Response: Yes, I am off the beaten path on the “north side” where life is a little less hectic. Glad to hear you are finding the strength to swap again. You have been missed! Thank you for the heart.

Comment: Di, it is always such a pleasure to receive a swap envelope from you...I feel a sense of anticipation as soon as I see the envelope! Thank you for always sending such lovely little works of art...you are an amazing swap partner (and friend!). I had to let Bella go to sleep at the end of February. I was heartbroken and terrified to lose her...but I had to think of her comfort and quality of life which diminished by the day. And strangely (or not, actually), as soon as she was gone, I felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my heart. I think it was her way of telling me that she loved me, and thanked me for making that decision. I have an appointment at the Oregon Humane Society tomorrow, to meed an 8-year-old kitty named Kiki, who has been there so long that her adoption fee has been reduced to $25. My heart (and Mme. Cocopuff's heart) need her, and I believe that Kiki might need us, too. Mme Cocopuff has never been an only cat, and she is showing signs of depression...she is only awake about an hour each day. Maybe I'm forcing human emotions onto her little kitty heart, but I don't think so. I think we each have a Kiki-sized hole in our hearts. I will let you know how it plays out!
Response: My dear friend, I got a telepathic msg. that things were not hunky dory in OR. So sorry to hear Miss Bella has left you & Mme. Cocopuff, but you gave her a good life & she is now at peace. I hope all goes well with Kiki—it sounds like you all need each other—perfect!! Looking forward to hearing how it all goes. Thank you for the heart & your friendship!

Comment: Thank you for the beautifully painted flowers on a handmade watercolor postcard! I enjoy it! I appreciate that you noticed where my profile says I can't see light blue or yellow on white backgrounds very well. I think that only applies to writing (text) though - I will have to edit that to be more clear on my profile page. Sometimes I get a note written with light-colored gel pens on white binder paper and I can't tell what it says, that's why I put that on my profile page. Anyway, I don't like monkey stuff very much, but elephants are cool! More importantly, though, I appreciate that you decorated the envelope in a fun way following swap instructions/requirements! You are always thoughtful in sending mail my way and for that, you deserve a million hearts and rainbows and stars galore!!! Hugs from Florida, Harmony

Comment: This ATC made my day. We must be of the same age, because all of what you said in the note about the 60's and Vietnam War and all of that, is what I lived through as a teenager too. AND I also had a boyfriend in the Marines. Kindred spirits! You so perfectly captured the look of the hippies back then. Thanks for the fun!!!! And the extras too. AND I have never heard of Bleeding Tissue Technique so I googled it and wala - I now know how to do it. Gonna have to try that sometime, instead of doing a watercolor wash, or maybe in combination. :-)
Response: I was hoping that the era in the ATC would be recognizable to my partners! It is nice to know I have another kindred spirit out there! You’ll love the tissue technique—such fun! Thank you for the heart!

They'll just bop up onto your head or hands if you have food for them, as they are very accustomed to humans too. Thanks and take care!

Comment: Ooooh, I forgot to rate you for this swap!!! It's one of the things on my "dislikes" list...non-raters! It goes to show that one should never be too critical. I could have sworn that I'd left a (stellar, of course) rating, since Mr. Peanut "spoke" to me. As a child, we lived 120 miles south of my grandparents, which involved a trip across the Golden Gate Bridge, and passing the commercial area by the SF Bay, which included Morton's Salt (HUGE) piles of "raw" salt waiting to be processed, and the Planter's Peanut warehouse, with a ginormous sign in the shape of Mr. Peanut, and all painted to look exactly like a 50-foot-tall Mr. Peanut himself! They were landmarks for us...we were halfway to Sebastopol (home of the Gravenstein apple, in addition to being home of both sets of grandparents. I love your inches, which is not a surprise, as I love all your work. And I promise to be better at rating, my friend!

Some areas close by got up to 12" of snow with some ice. Today it is 50 and sunny. I am ready for spring! Happy Valentine's Day!

Comment: Absolutely adorable owl! And the tree is so detailed with all its branches! I love that you have them in your yard. When we were in Nebraska, we had a great horned owl that would sit on the corner of the roof, right above my room. Only on those coldest nights. One day, we did see him in a tree in the back yard...I believe we had just had about 8 inches of snow. He was beautiful. You are lucky to have 4 owls!! Enjoy them!! I love the twinkling watercolors! Where can I get some of them?? Thank you for such a beautiful postcard! Happy Holidays! ❄🐻‍❄️
Response: So glad to swap with you again, my friend, and hear of your owl experience. I will have to pm you on the Twinkling H2Os source. They are getting tougher to find. Thank you for the heart & Happiest of the coming New Year to you.

Comment: Hi Dianne, I appreciate the WONDERFUL swap you sent me. The swap work you sent me, is really, really Good. I really have enjoyed both the Art or the collection of some kind very much. I was so EXCITED when I opened your envelope and found three ATCs representing the color Yellow. I also like the Extra ATC Pocket you added to the 3 Yellow ATCs filled with some Goodies for using on a variety of Art Experiences. I will proudly add the 3 Yellow ATCs to my ATC Collection. I am doing my very best to get swaps rated. I will say that I really enjoy letting my swap partners know how much I appreciate your swap delivered to me. So, I will do my job and rate every swap I receive, but I can't say that it will be done quickly, time may be my only friend. I do appreciate your patience and understanding. These 2 things always go along together . I try to extend these two strong qualities to my partners when asking for more time or something else. I hope we meet again on Swap-bot. Until that time arrives, I wish YOU many WONDERFUL swaps, but also I wish you many wonderful swaps and encounters. Until we meet again, HAPPY SWAPPING! Barbara B., sleepingrover2010
Response: So glad you liked my yellow ATCs! I don’t mind that you need a little more time to rate sometimes. That’s why we get those “rating reminders” 2 wks after the deadline as a reminder. I try to rate the day I receive, then I don’t miss it. Thank you for the great comments & the heart!

I once told my son that I feel strongly that I was a geisha in a previous life, and he laughed and said that with our solidly peasant background, it's more likely that I was the little lady with a crooked back who washed the geisha's underwear! Whatever. I LOVE the theme, and will do my best to create something we both will treasure! Edited to add: I am ever so envious of your experience with your grandmother and her treasures! I also loved (still love) my grandma, although her treasures were more along the lines of gaudy costume jewelry!
Response: I am so glad I found a jam theme we both like. My great grandmother was a very special lady. I’m sure you must have been a geisha in a past life!

Comment: Thank you so much for another fun swap experience! I'm impressed that the PO delivered it at the current postcard postage rate because my Postmaster has been a real stickler about clear sleeves being considered an envelope! I guess they have to stay in business one way or another, so I just add a one-ounce stamp to all mine! LOL!
Response: You are welcome. As for the sleeve, from now on, I will use a 1 oz. stamp just to make sure. ThNk you for the heart.

And we are twins with the "ART" rubber stamp on the back...I've had mine for like 20 years and can't even remember where I got it from! Maybe yours is that old too? Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful extras as well...nice variety and much appreciated! Till next time... <3

Comment: I absolutely LOVE how this ATC turned out. That's one of the many things I love about mixed media art. Most of it is unintentional and accidently beautiful, and not to mention one-of-a-kind. Haha, I'm a 'Coffin' by marriage. My husband's family is from the mid west (Indiana), so a New England name....I have NO idea. lol And I'll say that there aren't too many 'Coffins' here in New Mexico.
Response: I’m so glad you liked it! A side note to the Coffin name—there is a famous guest house in Nantucket called the “Jared Coffin House”. Someone from your hubby’s family must have taken the “go West, young man” saying to heart. Fun to speculate! Thank you for the heart!

Comment: What a pretty card! Thank you! I was a little bummed that the bottom edge got stuck inside the sleeve and ripped off a little when I went to move the card from the sleeve to my book, but the card is still gorgeous and you don't immediately notice the damage. Only mentioning in case you use the same technique on other cards - it seems like the sticky part (double sided tape?) was exposed and that's why it got stuck. Oh! Thank you for the extras too!
Response: Oh, bummer! Thanks for letting me know so I can adjust. I had such fun making it. Thank you for the heart & I apologize for the damage.

Comment: Hi Di! Love the snowy trees... The texture and depth added with the snow was perfect! I'm sorry though, it does look like it brought a lot of snow to you Massachusetters. Unless, being at the Cape, you did not get much (fingers crossed) :-) No offense, but I am glad I do not live in Wayland anymore... it's been in the 80's here this week. Thanks for the great Trees!! My Woodland Menagerie page will love it!!
Response: Thank you, my friend, for the compliment! No snow anywhere in MA yet, temps in the low 70s the last few days. Will enjoy before the inevitable snow. Thank you for the heart.

How did you ever think of this ... of course green eyes are my favorites anyway nice work and the quote was perfect thank you also for the generous goodies .. just a great swap your talent is obvious

The back of the card got a layer torn off en route, so I didn’t get to read all you wrote me. But I am grateful for the quote you shared on front of the postcard and gathered that you liked the quote too! Such a pleasure to “connect” with you in some small way! (Especially during all this social distancing stuff). Thanks again for participating in the swap with me!

Comment: Thank you for the ATC. I didn’t care for Cracked Pistachio either at first, but ended up liking it after playing with it. What’s been good for me with these swaps is using up my Tim stash and playing with various techniques. Hope you’ll consider continuing with the series.
Response: I just got my partner’s Swap & am encouraged by seeing how interesting it can be! Thank you for your positive comments & I will be continuing in the series. Thank you, also, for the heart!

Comment: Thanks for the very cute cat drawing and also for the cute extras. I know I will be able to use them! Oh, yes, we have swapped several times before...most recently Beach Theme ATC in June and Watercolor ATC in May and ATC with a Cat in April. I think the most recent that I sent to you was Stack Swap last January. I have a couple of notebooks of all the swaps I join. A bit OCD I guess. Ha.
Response: Thank you for your kind comment & heart! I keep my swaps in 9-pocket inserts in notebooks, too. Love to look back & remember swaps.

Thank you so much! I like the "art" pieces you included also. Very pretty! Thank you for joining the swap :-)
Response: Twinkling H2Os are like Pearlescent powders & come in pots as solids in many colors. I’ve had mine for years, so I don’t know if they are still available, but I love the effect, too.

I am now curious enough to look for "The Nunt for the Northern Lights" to read more of this work. When I flipped the card over to read the message, I had to laugh out loud because I had done the exact same thing with MY Winter Poem postcard! I'm usually very careful to check things like that, but I wrote the message and address upside down. How fantastic that your Dad woke you up to see the Northern Lights! What a spectacular memory and testimony to his love for you and for nature! Your card is definitely going into my "keeper" album! Thanks so much for such a wonderful swap!

Comment: Dianne: Thank you so much for the two beautiful ATC coin wreaths. They are both just amazing! I love that you used a beachy/seaside theme for one of them and loved the colors you used for that one. The other more traditional wreath is so pretty and sparkly - the way you attached the red ribbon is brilliant! And I used to make all my cards too - usually about 60 and most of the time all different. But I kind of ran out of enthusiasm for the project last year so this year I'm just sending photos of my husband and I and our two grandsons. Thanks again for a great swap!!
Response: Glad you enjoyed my wreath coins! The size & shape of the coins is perfect for them. Have a wonderful holiday season! Thank you for the heart and for participating in the swap!

The red one is my favorite too, and the green one, and the blue one, even though it doesn't have the dimensionality of the other two, it is still perfectly lovely. Thanks for sending such awesomeness! . . . . I like to challenge myself with all the different sizes of the small-format art. I love making postcards, ATCs, Moos, Inchies, ATCoins, etc. The hardest monochromatic I made was an all white postcard. Of course there was gray and bits of black, but I tried to make it as white as I could. Monochromatics are usually a good challenge. P. S. - gosh I forgot to thank you for the Fall themed extras. Thanks very much.

Comment: Cool postcard. Why did you put the laminate over it? One of the things I love about mailart is being able to touch the art (unlike art an art museum). You didn't have anything bulky on your card so you didn't need to seal it. But, otherwise, I thought it was great.
Response: I am no longer going to laminate my PCs after the next swap (I have it already done). Thank you for the compliment & heart.

Comment: Hi Dianne! Thank you for the St. Pat's ATC! I absolutely love it! The background you made with alcohol inks is wonderful.. I don't have any alcohol inks.. now I've got something else on my "want list"!! oh, wait, no, it's my "need" list! lol. Thank you also for the beautiful rainbow feather and die cut bird cage complete with parrots to put in it! :-) <3 So sorry about the weather you have all been having. I think this is the first year (since the blizzard of '78) that I have been glad I don't live in Wayland anymore! Stay in, stay warm, stay safe. Leslie
Response: Hi Leslie! Always a pleasure creating for you. Weather's still coming at us--one more Nor'easter coming in on Monday. We're getting closer to the coast with every storm (even though we're in the middle of the Cape! LOL!
