You go ahead and post. My camera breathed its last when I tried to photograph it :( ...so I just threw the collage into the mail. If you can take a couple pix to give them some idea of it, that would be great. Thanks, and so glad you got it! (We de…

It's really lovely. I like the transparency of the vellum. The first map is a general view of that part of England, the second map shows the village Jane is in, with various landmarks indicated by photographs. (Third photo is where on the map Jane l…

Welcome ATC Swappers!

The songs corresponding to your Summer ATC's can be found in my music gadget. Nothing says summer to me like Brazilian music and Jobim...whether it's a pretty girl at the beach, the soft breezes at night or the late summer rain heralding the change of seasons. Enjoy!!


"Berlin im Licht" from Lost in the Stars: A Kurt Weill Cabaret, 1997

Now an AWARD-WINNING writer!

Just found out my entry "Velveteen Robot" won 2nd place in the Sam's Dot Drabbler Contest #15, "Living in an Alien World." First place winner was my flash mentor Mike Kechula, which is even neater. Our drabbles will be published in an anothology with eighteen other entries sometime in early 2010.

Wheee!

Your picture postcard was mailed today (Oct. 15) from Memphis, TN; it is one I picked up in Orange Beach, AL while I was there for 4 days with my daughter and 2 GKids. There wasn't a whole lot to choose from :( Will try to do better with a postcard from MEM.

Hello Valerie,

it's Nita (aaargh cannot begin short stories)...I have been use to helping myself and just get on with it so asking for help can sometimes be difficult for me....so I was wondering if the offer still stands...I am looking for a writing buddy....someone I can say to ' ok i am about to put pen to paper/tap the keyboards etc....I do not know if I have research and plan my writing well....or whether its a case of just write the stories and see where it leads me......I think it's about trust and courage. i need clarity. Kind regards, Nita

Valerie,
i feel sad we couldn't do our bracelet swap. Do you do ATCs?
Would you like to swap a couple of your ATCs for a couple of mine.
I have only just started collecting them since being on CCS.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia
