Actually it is Easy Breezy Summer 2014.  But if I wasn't a clone, I would have known that.

Thank you Alicia, well spotted.

She has been pondering abodes, in a wonderful way: …

Alicia always amazes me with her style.  How she can be so creative despite living in the most frozen part of the world is beyond me.

But WAIT!  

     This little beauty below, was found on the back.  I had lots of good compliments on this little drawing that it started me thinking.  I noticed that there were no copyrights mentioned anywhere so I took it…

Well not giggles, but screams of laughter.  An amazing idea.  Although it wasn't a package from Erni, one should always have a knife near by just in case.

Things got a little hairy when eyes start looking back at you.

They say;…

Funny Halloween card from Alicia.  And yes, funny enough those chaps really do look like Erni & Val.  Toast?  Here's to you!   Hic up

Thank you very much Alicia. 

This surely looks like the outline of the sock I sent Alicia awhile ago. Sock it to ya baby!  Thank you Alicia, I know you had a busy summer, and happy to see you back and sending.

Wicked, Simplily Wicked.  What a surprise to find this amazing piece in a suspicious brown envelope.  Alicia out did herself without the help of the Good Fairy of the North.  Bravo!

Totto, I don't think we are in Iowa anymore.

I…

Mona and "someone else" above from Alicia, in mysterious, most appealing, acetate boekie-form. Mona may be bleeding, so I hope…

What a collection of fruit stickers from the Super foods woman herself, Alicia Starr.  Looks simple you say?  Try it, and you'll see for your self.

Well funny enough, I have been working for months on something very simular for Alicia, but she beat me to it.  And mine is much smaller.  Yes, I know that this must of been a long time coming.  Thank you Alicia for…

A beautiful and delicate boekie from Alicia. I am not sure what kind of paper she has used, is it a kind of rice paper? It would fit the organic theme very well. Tea at the farm on a late spring evening, surrounded by chicken, or as Vizma would say, chooks :-)) I like chooks better. Alicia also included Japanese text, a piece of sewing pattern, and to wrap up…

One of her now-famous lasts arrived yesterday, and I'm in love with it: 

I couldn't be happier with my first last. Here…

... a surprise because these were "hidden" inside the bird I blogged a few weeks ago! Alicia asked me then "Did you look inside?" Wow: 

With it came a lyrical and poignant note typed on nice vellum: …

When I picked up this package at the post office I first thought someone had sent me a slice of chocolate cake. I was almost disappointed that it wasn't the case, until I saw that it was Alicia's last. She painted a great saddle shoe on one of her... I really don't know the name of it, what is it called? I think she is making pairs, I wonder if there is another…

Subtitled as "The Bow Tie Miracle" which has something to do with American baseball, but I'm not sure what.  I only got to second base when I lived in America, but I did have a few double plays.  Anyway, this card is a Home Run with bases loaded.  Thank you very much Alicia.  PS I'm a great fan of the Iowa Red Socks.…

Envious of the coinbook pages Alicia has sent others, I received a coinbook and couldn't be happier: 

This coinbook is painted thickly and beautifully with mostly copper-penny-color paint, has a few more "pages" to it (Alicia pasted the…

Yes, this delightful piece was created by Alicia using scraps from her desk that she "couldn't quite throw away."  We have had a back-and-forth about how we keep our desks, and I understand exactly what she means.  You have a unique and elegant style, Alicia, even when working with the very few pieces you couldn't bring yourself to throw away.  I love this and also treasure…
