oh, ok, thanks for that info. i thought it wasn't meant to be opened.

[Thom Courcelle]

Saw the posted pictures of my entry—glad to know it got there, and grateful for the opportunity to contribute!

Just FYI, wanted you to know, in case you didn't get further than the cellophane envelope, that the knit piece inside is actually an envelope itself which contains a card inside...and an answer to the mail call's question...

Sorry about the confetti, I know it can be a nuisance, but it made a nice effect through the cellophane. Best to open over a wastebasket or container.

Cheers and blessings.
