Well traveled

This card was sent out on a Tuesday and postmarked that day also, then it came back to me on Thursday, with no reason as why it was returned.  I was heading over to the next city over to do some shopping the next day so I took it over to their post office and she looked it over and said she couldn't see why it shouldn't have gone out so she said she would send it again for me, and it did that time make it to my niece in law so all worked out well.


Using more of my coloring calendar images, colored with markers.  The strip of paper was in with the package already and I just felt it needed a little something extra so I laid a piece of double stick tape against that piece and sprinkled on some of my gold glass glitter. Added some shimmer with my wink of stella pen but was hard to pick up on camera.

Lilybee designs - Head over heels paper
Recollections - glass glitter, vintage gold
Paper smooches - Happy birthday sentiment stamp

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Your dragonfly is so pretty and I love the pink scalloped frame! Great striped paper too. So annoying to have mail returned for no reason - I've had that happen once or twice!

Someone must have just goofed returning the card to you because they generally put a reason on it. I had a card returned once that had a silly reason written on it, so I just put it back in the mailbox and it went that time. Go figure. Anyway... it's awesome! Colorful and happy and that glass glitter is amazing!

FAB card! Loving that glass glitter it looks amazing....as does that beautiful butterfly! Glad it arrived in a timely manner, finally! I don't think the PO is what it used to be! I mailed Judy a card on the 17th and it finally arrived on the 27th....10 days from Mass to Michigan....sounds like the Pony Express!
