Please email me -maryloucurry@yahoo.com. with your snail mail and I shall get down to some postcard work. Thanks.
I was looking at fpc's recently and came across the lovely card you sent awhile back with painted leaves etc. and thought again how talented you are.

- Where di you grow up in Brisbane Nanette. I will look forward to seeing photos of your work. I left Brisbane in the 50's and when I returned in 1979 for good, lived at the sunshine coast then rainbow beach before coming out here into the country.
You will enjoy the wonderful interaction with the ladies here. They are great.
