Jackie Galloway: Darlene, i just viewed your 2009 folder and the Fallbrook Gourd Frenzy photos. I had seen the gorgeous purse before and it has to be one your best works, but have to say the Hawaiian doll and Christmas candle is also on my favorites list. Looks like you ladies had much fun at the gourd frenzy...hope you keep living the "gourd life". I'm so glad to have met you via the virtual world and am so proud to be your gourd friend.

I am going to play around with the dark blue/stars/moon idea. I do so many boxes that I like to add variety, and to put a new "surprise" pattern into every shipment I deliver. It makes it more interesting for our dear bereavement nurse team.

Marilyn McDonald: The memory boxes are so nice. I especially like the cute puppy with a ball. Is that your design? I would love to do that one. A kitten with a ball of yarn would be a good one, too.
