    Postcard Challenge week 21

    May 26, 2012 - By 

    After weeks of absence from Darcy’s postcard challenge, I have finally found my characters. 
    Apparently they had been spending some time together in the English countryside. 
    Their relationship has definitely made some big changes. 

    Maggie writes:

    Thadeus,
      The past few weeks have been like a dream. I pinched myself this morning just to make sure. I miss you already. I thought this painting would remind you of our week in the country. The stonewalls. The picnic. The inn.
    Hurry back to me….
               Always- Maggie



    Ah… the excitement of new love. 
    This weeks page is pretty simple. Aged papers and doily scraps.

    Postcard Challenge weeks 16 & 17

    April 27, 2012 - By 
    There seems to be a pattern with me lately…I can’t seem to get these done at the proper time.  At least Darcy is very kind about it and doesn’t rap us on the hand with a ruler or anything. 🙂
    Week 16…otherwise known as last week…Thadeus sends a postcard from Romania. 
    The postcard is a photo I took then played around in Photoshop a bit to give it a vintage feel.

    Thadeus writes:

    Maggie-
    Iceland was amazing. I can’t stop thinking of you even when I know that I should be actually reading the books and documents in  front of me. I have scarcely seen the outside of the library here in Romania. I think I have discovered the source of the shipment. Time will tell.
           Yours-Thadeus 



    The accompanying page is a little boring. I thought the paper is somewhat old wallpaper like…something one might see in an old library. 
    Week 17 Maggie writes to Thadeus from Norway. 
    She doesn’t mention why she is there. It seems Miss Maggie is somewhat a woman of leisure. Taking photos, painting etc.


     Maggie writes:

    Thadeus-
    I’m so excited that we, I mean, you are getting more answers. I feel as though I’m part of your journey as well now. I hope that doesn’t offend you since you are doing all the work.
    When you visit next I’m going to make you some Norwegian specialties. 
          Yours truly- Maggie

    She certainly tends to stumble a bit when corresponding with Thadeus. Maggie seems quite impulsive…doesn’t think before she speaks…or writes.
    The page includes the recipes written in Norwegian…sure hope she can translate them…and a pocket that showcases rosemaling.
    Thanks for bearing with me and the extra long post.
    Stop by Darcy’s blog to see some more Norway postcards this week.

    Postcard Challenge weeks 14 & 15

    April 13, 2012 - By 

    I find myself playing catch-up this week. With the kids on Spring break, I completely forgot about doing my postcard! 

    Week 14–
    Thadeus writes to Maggie about his long absence.

    Maggie-
    So sorry to have worried you but I was unable to send any correspondence.  I was sent on another errand- this time I was at sea for a couple weeks. I was certainly happy to come to port here in Singapore.

    I want to see you again. Please send me your travel plans. I’ll be waiting here at the beach for the next few days. 

    So that must be why Thadeus never made it to Israel.  *wink*

    Here’s my page with a few notes…more clues to his research one would assume.

    And now for Week 15 from Iceland!!

    I knew I had to do the Northern Lights. We see them here in MN sometimes. I have fond memories of sitting in silence watching the colors play across the sky.

    Maggie writes in her sweet note:

    Thadeus-
    I am so delighted that we were able to spend an entire day together. I’ll always cherish sitting on the steps with you. The Northern Lights   were like a symphony. We didn’t need to speak, we just had to be.
    I wish you would end your research – I fear for you and your well being. Who knows what you might discover.
    Warmly-Maggie

    My goodness they’ve met again. A romance seems to be brewing between them.

    The page features the word magnificent boldly circled. I’m thinking that Maggie has fallen head over heels.

    Please swing over to Darcy’s blog and check out the rest of this weeks postcards.
