All the way from the Netherlands and Massachusetts

A wonderful surprise arrived the other day from Marianne. Three ATC's, two notecards, a Sjimmie book mark, stickers. Wow. My spirits lifted as I saw all these beautiful artworks. Thanks Marianne.
Here is a peek at the book page Mim sent me for the girfriends round robin book adventure. I am almost finished with my addition. It has been such fun working on it. Thanks Mim.

Enclosed with the book page was one of Mim's special cards.

The traveling book thing is so fun,,,,can't wait to see what everyone does.
I've finished a page for Lynn's,,,ready to mail on Monday.

gorgeous, all of it. i am so glad to be part of this book journey with you too. do you realise that in all this whirl of ATC swapping going on around the globe, that you and I haven't actually swapped anything yet? would love to, if you would. hugs.

What a lovely assortment of goodies you got in the mail!! Like Christmas, isn't it?

Hey Suki, you can post your own (and any other) sketchbook pages on your blog if you want. When each book comes around to me, I will post all the pages on the Girlfriens blog, but you can post as you go.

Lovely cards and the book looks cool. I love that card from Mim too. Great to get love from afar :-).

Lisa at Greenbow said...

Great gifts. I can't wait to see the book in its finished state. Having peeks at everyones contribution is making me so curious.

Mim said...

I have to be honest! Wish that dog head was my card but it is the talented Nadler's card which I bought! sure wish I could draw like that fella.

Oh, what awesome ATCs! Love the card from Mim, it's adorable!

sukipoet said...

Cris, oops, as Mim has told me further down that isnt her drawing on the card. It is fun getting mail all right.

Babs, I just finished the page on Mim's book to mail monday too. I do find it an adventure.

Soulbrush, I dont have any ATC s at the moment or if I do they are in a box somewhere packed. otherwise i would or if I get some made ditto.

sukipoet said...

Katie Jane, i wasnt sure about the posting of the book in process so i just did that segment. thanks now I know! what fun this is.

Annie, thanks good to hear from you.

Lisa, there will actually be ten finished books by the end!

sukipoet said...

Oh Mim, thanks for the correction.

Artist Unplugged, everything is so cheerful.

Lynn Cohen said...

Love it all...it is fun to get a mail box full of other's art!

The book looks interesting. We already saw Mim's page on her blog so okay to show if you want to. And hope you'll be showing all of your page too. Can't wait to see.

Mandalas, book journeys, and this lovely doggy-card! Beautiful things. I don't know what the traveling book thing is, but will find out hopefully when reading your blog backwards?

Oh Suki, you are having so much fun there...how great is that? I love the idea of the little book traveling about! I also admire you for participating in that kind of thing.

You know, I have to tell you I love the lilac in your header photo! I love lilacs so very much and haven't seen many of those since we left Montana. There is nothing quite like that heady fragrance!

Thanks So Much Suki!

Peace,

Kim

I'd love to see that book when it's all done. What a wonderful project!! This blogging connection is sure a special thing.
