So pretty - folded pen work from Leslie on the envelope - and she did a second gingerbread house envelope that was tucked inside. I love the card. I've had an idea to do birthday cards with used stamps and have a border....something exactly like what she did - but it would say Happy Birthday.
I am still making and donating the birthday cards to the YMCA supportive housing campus - where previously unhoused people are turning their lives around. The staff is vigilant about getting hand made birthday cards for everyone (140 residents) - so I like to do as many as possible. Maybe - if I get a batch done - with the stamps - I can trick Leslie into doing the Happy Birthday part. I'm not certain that Leslie reads the blog every day - so I'm not sure she will read this. Maybe I will hear from her.
I know there are some very *every day* readers - like me - make coffee/check the blog. There are also *sporadic* readers - and I suspect there are some exchangers who never look at the blog - but, I'm not sure how to track them. It's better to just leave things the way they are. Slightly mysterious.

My *suspecting* was correct. I just heard from Troy - and he's beck in the loop and has not been reading the blog. I'm glad he's back - just. in time for Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The piece he wrote and shared with us last year was hysterical. I think Troy should try open mic night at the comedy clubs. Or just send me more funny emails that I can post on my blog.
