Happy day for me! Yeah, it's always such a delight when I find an envelope in the mail with a Sacramento address label.
Yup, this here sweet little guy, aka Rosco, was sent by his mom; Nutmeg!
You should see this card! Oh my, it has a hundred or more small paper strips as the bg. What's been wonderfully crafted by Nutmeg is the sweestest dog of all, Rosco. IRL, Rosco is Nutmeg's precious little dog.
In reality, little Rosco gave his mom quite the scare 2 weeks ago when he wasnt interesting in eating, which was a first for him. Nutmeg, I can tell by his size he's really into that eating food thing!
Your card is just another masterpiece that deigns a very special place in my heart! Your coloring is just to die for and that easy bow making contraption created one fine bow, I must say!
Thank you so much, Nutmeg, for this adorable creation! It was so sweet of you to send this on over to lumberjack country, home of the Tarheels.
Please dont ask me what Tarheels is. I couldnt bear to give you an explanation.
Huge hugs,Anne

Anne, so glad the card made the trip all the way to the Carolinas home of the Tarheels! Not sure what a Tarheel is, but what the heck. ......Yes Rosco dog does like his food and what ever else he can get you to throw at him. He really loves Sundays. DH and him hang out in the backyard eating peanuts. He has taught Rosco to "back-up" which is just the cutest move ever!....So glad you liked your card. Thanks for sharing it. You received some very nice happy mail this week from many wonderful people. You must be walking on clouds happy. Glad for you. TFS :0)
