I am really drawn to the pages where you included some fabric bits.<br />They all turned out great.<br />I bet Chris was tickled with them AND that bevy of postage stamps.<br />We got something from Japan today and I was so disappointed it didn't have any REAL postage stamps on it.<br />Had a giggle with your no frogs sign...hope Chris is not afraid of them.<br />oxo~*~Patty Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953758102509632020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-25556349767563484642016-06-13T12:32:50.370-05:002016-06-13T12:32:50.370-05:00I don't know how I thought I had commented her...I don't know how I thought I had commented here - I clearly haven't! You do though, already know how much I love these pages! Your postage stamps are a real treat and are certainly destined for a number of journal pages!! I love how you researched the nursery rhyme(which, by the way is not only so apt but used to be one of my favourites!) So many nursery rhymes have a tale behind them - I have a book but darned if i can find it !! Of courseā¦the No Frogs sign really made me roar with laughter you funny lady!!

I love your take on Liberty Bells and cockle shells, fabulous! "Behind the garden gate" and "Old Fashioned Flowers" are beautiful and such a contrast in styles, with one being very colourful and the other monochrome (with a pop of blue). Wonderful pages; a great swap and I'm sure they will be loved.

I knew about ring around the rosie and plague, so now I wonder about other nursery rhymes and the stories behind them. Glad to see that flower die has come to some good use. I love your Mary, she is so sweet, and all the flowers on all the pages is really inspiring. Chris will get a really nice stash in her mailbox. :) And when you posted about my Africa page you mentioned all the negative things going on that continent now, and I was actually thinking about a few of those when I wrote the page, and almost added them in, but then decided not to. I guess I wanted to keep it more like an Out of Africa feel, the simple better times (if they really ever existed). But there are some scary places in the world and some of those places are in Africa. Enjoy the rest of your weekend:) ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-60061072804781609792016-06-11T15:51:03.236-05:002016-06-11T15:51:03.236-05:00Wow, Chris will be in love with these pages.

Bravo on a beautiful job, well done!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by The Gypsy this morning!I loved your story about the lilypad lady. The first years of the ditch there were relatively few lily pads. I always thought they added more (sometimes you can hardly see the water!). But now I know they just spread like crazy!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-36374987098631025492016-06-11T08:20:31.182-05:002016-06-11T08:20:31.182-05:00So much effort and so many different materials- yo...So much effort and so many different materials- you really went all out for this.
