Surprises in the mail today!

Oh wow...I couldn't believe I recieved TWO surprises in the mail today! How fun! First was a box from Claude, from Random Rants and Prickly Plants...each type of cactus wrapped so cutely in paper and labelled! I was very careful to be sure and photograph each one with the tag in front! I am terrible at I.D.'ing plants, and have an aweful memory for all of them!!! Thanks Claude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now to get them planted in my tires!!!




Next was a card (so beautiful) from Lynn, at Getting My Feet Wet! Look at this gorgeous ATC card make from fabric and sewing embellishment!!! I love it so much, Lynn!!! It is my only fabric ATC!!! It fit into my storage system perfectly too! It has such a glitter and shine to it...right up my alley! Thankyou Lynn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Check this out! Her information is printed on the fabric backing also!!! Very nice!

Wow, cactus in the mail, how fun! I've never seen a fabric ATC card. Very unusual and beautiful.

Claude said...

well, those got there quick!

My handwriting is appalling!

Enjoy them, both should root easily, I made sure to send you a Escobaria that had a decent root attached... you should have blooms next spring!

later

Claude said...

and I must say, it was very clever of me to get them there on Cactus Monday, wasn't it?

Julie said...

Claude- LOLOL! Yes...it was quite good timing since I had NO Cactus Monday post ready at all today!!! Thanks, man!!!

Julie, sweet of you to post my fabric ATC and photo card!
Love seeing them on your blog.
Yours will appear on my blog for Wednesday. They came today and are both delightful ATC and card! Love the sparkles!

Aww, awesome! There's not many things in life I love more than fun mail, hehe. AND I also got succulents in the mail the other day, I should post pictures of that!

The ATC is pretty awesome! Some of my friends are into ATCs and swaps.... and I always felt like I have no room here at my tiny apartment. But once I move..... "once I move" has become one of my stock phrases, haha! Three more weeks!
