I opened the box and it was like a spring bouquet. Pastel tissue paper in every color!!! Then I unwrapped each piece one by one. Lovely yellow birds with turquoise blues filled the table! I love watching the birds in the morning and the yellow finches are due back soon. What a surprise that Penny picked such perfect gifts to send a total stranger. The picture does not due justice. What fun!
Now, from Sophie to Genghis: BOW WOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! I didn't even get this much stuff at Christmas! I love everything - especially the hand cut puppy booklet - Dana has taken my paw print and put it on the first page with today's date! St. Patty's 2010. Thanks soooooo much Genghis - I do have another cat friend, Alphie, but he has moved to Indy. Miss him.
A paw high five to you!!!
LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Sophie and I need someone to respond by posting a comment on THIS BLOG to continue the pay it forward. A surprise from me and one from Sophie if you have a pet that wants to participate. Hope we get a taker! This has been great fun. If you see this on my facebook - let me know if you want to be the lucky recipient!
NOW FOR THE ATC'S: Penny and I traded Artist Trading Cards - but did a post card size trade. Her's came in a beautiful hand papered box and I find this sooooooooo interesting. Our themes were 1- historical figure, 1- mythical/fantasy, and freestyle or potluck.
I did Joan of Arc but really considered Cleopatra - Penny's was Ancient Egypt - WOW - cosmic. In a project for work I had been looking for a troll - her fantasy card - a troll. Mine was, of course a wing-walker, Cameron! Then last but not least - mine was things that I think we should share and smile about - you know - coffee, chocolate, art friends! Penny's was a friendship quilt card. My whole deal with this blog and getting back into art started with my friend Joy who is a quilt artist - her work is in my past postings. The entire ATC thing started with an article I read out of Joy's quilting magazine - Quilting Arts. I happen to be working on a paper project that is a wall hanging of a paper quilt that is "A FRIENDSHIP BLOCK". The world is a small place and we get together with people that we are truly sharing a kindred spirit. I loved this whole experience.
Share with someone today! It makes you both feel good!
HAPPY ST. PAT'S - dana

Hello Sophie,
It is me Genghis Khat, I have come to visit you.
Pellie fell asleep without shutting down her computer - so - I finally get a chance to post. Yea!!!!!
Since this is the first time I'm seeing you - I have to tell you - you are a really cute woofie. Glad you liked the prezzies.
I had to put Pellie under my hypnotic purring spell - to get her to make that cute little book - I think its called a journal but I'm not sure. I snoopervised the placement of every paper and sticker though, so I was pretty busy in its creation too.
Thank you so much for the cool treats you sent along for me too. I love my new mousey and the treats are tastey - but Pellie wont let me have too many at one time. She says it's for my own good but i think she is just stingy.
Purrs,
Genghis
Hey Dana,

I finally did my post about our swap - so you might want to check it out.
Blogger gave me a bit of problems with my post but - it will have to do. Hope you like it.
Hugs,
Penny
