    Postcard Challenge week 8

     Darcy picked Cuba for this weeks challenge postcard and it definitely proved to be a challenge.
    I know so very little about Cuba…other than what I remember from history class about the Cuban Missile Crisis and Fidel Castro.
    Oh yeah and that Cuban cigars are illegal in the USA.
    None of these proved to be great inspiration.
    So I ripped a page from an old atlas…

    Greetings Maggie. Hope this finds you in good health. I took your advice and looked at the bigger picture. It is exactly that which brought me here to Cuba. A powerful “friend” sent me here on an errand of sorts. I hope it is not a fools errand. At least the weather is nice. I do hope we can meet and discuss our common interest in the near future. We both should have some time if all goes as planned very soon.
    Take care, Thadeus

     

     I did have an old postage stamp from Cuba so that clearly made me giddy to use. The postmark was on it from a weird direction though so I improvised. 🙂

     

    Here is the accompanying book page.
    Pretty simple in design this time… but it seems to have yet another grainy photograph…
    hmmm…wonder what that is all about.

    Did you know…?

     

    That today is George Washington’s Birthday?
    Little J did…found on the fridge this morning.

     

     

    I also thought I’d share another
     American Girl sleeping bag.
    I can’t stop sewing.

    Sewing like crazy…

    I’ve been sewing like there is no tomorrow.
    I’ve managed to make a tiny dent in my fabric stash.
    Little J picked out colors for her American Girl doll sleeping bag. Her doll came with a lavender outfit so she has decided that lavender is “Rosie’s” favorite color.
    I have one more ready to go and 2 more that are just in need of finishing.
    I’m partial to this red patchwork one myself.
