[I came back on Sept 27th and it is fixed]
I just found an email from Sam in a very unexpected place. It warmed my heart to hear what she wrote on March 22. She passed away on April 20 - so it was one of the last emails from her. An exchanger had asked about doing postcards and Sam was wildly excited about doing postcards. So she made some -- and sent me inages. I guess she used them in the April exchange - or maybe not. As always, they are lovely designs. I'm not sure what was going on with me that she talks about life-saving. Perhaps it was a reference to the global pandemic. Not that I was ever fearful -- but when it hit my town, I suppose there was a resignation to the fact that it was truly going to be e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.
In her email - PC means postcard. Here are her words:
PC show (& tell) 2 brighten ur day (save ur life??)
i could do the herringbone on a lope, & i may as i do have stamps 2 match, but ill use a sticker label 4 the address, which i don't like 2 do but it will confuse the hell outta me 2 make room 4 it w/that design
****end of her message
I really love these images. They are steal worthy and I'm guessing she'd be honored to have us making some faux-Sam designs.
