Yeah, I know. I’m finally getting to mailing out stitch markers to the winners of our giveaway. It’s kind of fun, because I get to mail out to Japan, Portugal and Singapore for the first time ever. And Finland and the UK for the second time :-).

This is amazing to me, because I don’t travel. I haven’t seen much of the world at all, except for the couple of vacations my generous father-in-law has hosted. I got to go to Israel. And there was that one time when we drove from New York to Nebraska on a church history tour. But other than that and a couple times in Canada, I haven’t been anywhere. The fact that I have contact outside of my little world is so cool. The east coast is even beyond the scope of my imagination, but Singapore? I don’t know anything about Singapore. What was really weird was when I got a hit from a country I’d never even heard of. I can’t even remember which country it was. Dangit. Don’t ruin it for me and tell me they were spammers. I’m enjoying my bubble.

Here’s the scene on my kitchen table yesterday. At this point, I was close to halfway done.

Olivia decorated the cards.

There were a couple of times, (Betsy and Barbara Long) when requested colors fit a particular set perfectly. It was so fun! In Betsy’s case, I wasn’t sure I was going to send out that set, because you have to like those colors together, although they’re among my favorites. When I got her email, it was serendipity.
