All In A Days Work

 I finished my mail art cards for the International Mixed Media Postcard Swap v.2.   Check.
All of them the same but each one a little different.  Four are going to international addresses and 6 to domestic addresses, including one to the North Pole, AK - how fun!
 A quick stroll through the VOA yielded a pack of wrapping paper that included several sweet vintage sheets plus I was able to pick up some sparkly rhinestone bling.  Check.
 This vintage Christmas wrap is pretty faded but still love the little elves!
 Blue rhinestones on a sheet of vintage wedding shower paper.
 I have pierced ears but these earrings are so pretty I might even try wearing them.
 While I was occupying myself with those pastimes The Husband was brewing beer.  He made my recipe today - the finest light beer in the land!  Check.
 A walk around the backyard to "survey the plantation".  Check.
The Dinosaur Food is high as an elephant's eye now.  It seriously grows several inches every day.
 The ferns are gorgeous at this time of year and the Foxglove and Cranesbill are coming on .
I bees are wild about the Cranesbill so I guess I should plant some next to the tomatoes.  Hey you guys, would you mind moving over there for a while...

LOVE the postcards! And those earrings are so sweet. I never learned to like the taste of beer or coffee, but I hope your beer turned out good for you! You got some great plantation shots...especially the bee!

Your cards are so sweet and you know I love the jewels. Wow, your own recipe? Wish my yard was as lush and green...not here, not with this heat.
