Clotheslines


Postcard sent to Ambró and Bubi (Hungary), for the Challenge #30 of Mail a Smile project. 


I would like have sent something better (considering it was me who had chosen the topic...! This is a favourite), but I just could not. Anyway, the aim of Mail a Smile is just... what its name means. A simple postcard can make someone's day. Don't you feel like participating the next time? There is a challenge every month!

Freda!


Yesterday arrived this small parcel from Micu (Hungary) and... Can you guess what it contained? Freda, one of the smiles senders of the Mail a Smile project:


Thanks to Kakaó, she has come to spend few weeks with me. I hope she is going to enjoy the beach and the hot weather.

I forgot to say... she didn't arrive empty-handed, but with some nice surprises:
