Incoming from Bumblebee Cee!

This is the cool piece I got from Red yesterday!

Simply RED from Brooke Cooks arrived today,

and we can Spread-the-Love all throughout February, yes?

Thank…

What an "all-'round" card arrived today from Heleen,

I can still celebrate my birthday ,

and with the monkeys,…

It arrived! Yay! On Anna Banana's Birthday - today.

Someone purchased (and ate) lots of banana snacks and sweets?…

Well it arrived yesterday and right on time for International Banana Bread Day.  Sadly I was so busy making Banana Bread all day I forgot to check the mailbox until 10pm.…

First of All, A big Happy Birthday to Anna Banana (24 Feb).

Anna sent me the December 2015 Banana Rag.  There may be only two more issues before Anna retires this publication, so contact Anna before it's too late.

Denise Woodward sent this ATC in response to the recent conversation around dada . . .

I've received many wonderous ATCs from Denise, but I'll have to admit,

this one just stops me in my tracks. Brilliant.

Thanks…

Received this absolutely gleeful collage/ready-made from Laurence Gillot . . .

I can't help but smile every time I look at it.…

love this piece and the orange and black texture is very striking...

thank you Jon *!*
