I'd meant to just scan and leave a quick thanks for the cards - but got lured into reading, as usual, by your wonderful words and by your beautiful pics.<br /><br />Anyway, about the Red Flannel Elephant cards - I've loved using them and everyone thinks they are great.

Normally, I speed read, but your words made me stop, slow down and savour every word. Simply amazing!<br />You and my sister make a good match. People drop off dead animals at her place, she puts them into crab traps and pops them in the ocean. Several days later, she goes back to retrieve the skeletons and skulls. In a cupboard that would normally hold best dishes, she has it crammed to the gills with bones instead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1848489370978420552006-12-14T10:46:00.000+00:002006-12-14T10:46:00.000+00:00Those Cows are posing in a perfect picture moment!...Those Cows are posing in a perfect picture moment!<br />Ha ha<br /><br />You should have had a package from a fellow fairy - i hope it hasn't got lost in the Christmas post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-1166085793311821702006-12-14T08:43:00.000+00:002006-12-14T08:43:00.000+00:00We used to escape to the tall rock piles in my gra...We used to escape to the tall rock piles in my grandfather's fields when the cows got too 'scary'. Sometimes we were stuck there for hours, surrounded by grazing implements of childhood terror.
