Now that our Traveling Page swap is over, Ruth has suggested submitting an article to Cloth Paper Scissors magazine.  Would you be interested in showing your book?  Please let me know.

Hi Carmen, just getting a bit ahead I know but I like to think about things first to mull over ideas. I know you said anything to do with castles; I wonder if you know / like the decoration on British canal boats known as 'Roses and Castles' ? I thought I might like to use that style for your page but they are very stylised so don't know if you'd like them. You can see examples on this Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/40839614@N05/sets/72157622536646274/?page=2

Carmen - I got your mailing address but still need your e-mail address, your blog or Flickr address if you have one and your theme choice. Please e-mail the information to me at info at purplepomegranate.com (written like a standard e-mail). I'm waiting to send out all the information for the swap until I hear from you. I'd appreciate it if you could do this right away. Thanks! Ruth

Ours has turned off nice, too (except this weekend—it's raining, raining; but we're in a drought, so that's good. We've been walking down by the river whenever we can, watching everything bud out.

Got your address, Carmen—thanks! (Sorry to be late; I've been MIA with health problems the past couple of weeks). She'll go out on Monday.

Hi Carmen—I have your Valentine swap doll ready to send, if you'll email me your mailing address. (kirbanita50@aol.com) She was fun—I hope you'll like her.

Thankyou for the welcome message.I am adding you as a friend.I am looking forward to our interactions .

Thank you for the kind welcome! I'm looking forward to the doll swap. Blessings, Jenna Louise

Hey Carmen, did you see there is a Christmas Dotee doll swap?

Here she is:

Hi Carmen... I received your little Cher in the white gown on Saturday. A very nice rendition. We can start a whole line of Cher's! Thanks much.
Let me know if you want me to take a photo to post for the group.

Hi Carmen. Glad Cher arrived safely. Feel free to make whoever you like!

Carmen, I was going to name her Carmen the Cat, but now she can be KitKat Girl. Have you ever thought about hosting an animal Dotee doll swap?

Carmen, I received the Dotee Doll today and it is so stinkin' cute, I can hardly stand it. Thanks for trading.

Oh goodie Carmen, I can hardly wait.

Hi Carmen... just returned from the post office. I mailed out your Show Business doll today so you can be on the lookout for the package!

Thanks, Carmen. The guestbook worked! You are the first one to ever leave me a private message that way. Very cool!

Carmen, I didn't get your address. Did you send it via a 'friends' pm here or did you send it to my e-mail address?

You can even send it via a private message on the guestbook on the bottom right of my blog. No one has ever signed it, so you could be the first!
