I'm thinking these are the last pictures I will be taking of someone in our pool this year. Tuesday (the day these shots were taken) the temp was 95 degrees, today (Friday) our high maybe will reach 61. Tonight it is supposed to go down to 39. E-gads! I'm thinking summer is over!!! Certainly, even if the temps would go up during the day, with the cold nights, the water will be too cold to swim. Time to call the pool guy and have it closed for the winter. In the meantime, meet my sweet great niece, Audrey, her mother, my niece, Christy and my sister, Jan. And in the next picture is my hubby being silly!
Next, let me introduce you to Lady #57, Bonnie from the US. Bonnie choose not to have me reveal the original picture she sent for me to use, so you won't be able to see the resemblance, but that's okay! To be honest, I don't know if I'd want my face plastered on the internet either. lol
As long as we're on "ladies", let me show you a picture I received this week of Lady #47, Mrs. Joy, with herself. This was taken after she opened "herself" as a surprise from the teachers on staff at the school where Mrs. Joy volunteers.
I'm thinking I should have maybe used a different color fabric for her hair color. Eikes! Sorta a yellowy white color (if there is such a thing???) Oh well.........
Incidentally, I told you last time about the procedure to have yourself (or a friend, or relative) done in fabric, but I was goofy not to tell you how to contact me. Duh!!! What was I thinking? Please see my sidebar for my e-mail address. I check it LOTS during the day, so never fear that I won't get back to you pronto!!
Now for the envelopes of the week. First, let me show you what I sent to Audrey. First was her early reader, titled, "Mac & Cheese". I copied a page in the book for the envelope for that one. Second, was her A-Z Mystery book of the week, and that was titled, "The Runaway Racehorse". She is in love with that mystery series. She can't read them yet by herself, but they provide a great story for bedtime.
Lastly, we have the envelopes sent to Annie and friends:
So there you have it! My week in a nutshell. Well, other than cleaning my house, grocery shopping, cooking, etc. You get it, I'm sure! lol I wonder what next week will bring???? Stay well my friends, and enjoy YOUR remainder of summer!

I'm guessing we've got another month or so of summer here in Texas, come on down! Your ladies are lovely as always and the envelopes crack me up. Wish I could draw, I send so much snail mail & it would be more fun that way
thats a big temperature variation isn't it? Summer is here already (well it feels like summer) . . .but you wouldn't call our winter a "winter" at all
Wonderful quilted ladies! And your postcards continue to be so awesome!
Summer is Falling into Autumn and I am embracing it this year. Love your fun mail art. Blessings...
The pool is so inviting and your man is a funny guy! hahaha Two great portrait additions for your fabric ladies. The envelopes are fabulous. I've never enjoyed getting mail as much as I have this year!
It is all awesome. Thanks for sharing.
More great ladies and envelopes. Speaking of envelopes.... the wonderful one you sent me was the very first piece of mail we received at our new address! What a delightful surprise that was. Thank you so much!
Move over Mary Engelbreit (sp?), your drawings are way cuter!!
Just delightful...the cards made me smile with each one...especially the cow & I KNOW Mrs. Joy was smiling when she saw her "portrait" from the teachers. What a wonderfully thoughtful gift!
We've got your same kind of weather. Time to empty the hot tub & put the gazebo to sleep. Boo-Hoo!
