BI I Spy Tag
Autumn @mwntimperial, thanks for the lovely Autumn postcard. I hope your eldest is better now and that you had a great time on your autumn break. So far, the only plan is to take the boys to a pumpkin patch. Lovely decor, even the colour of the stamp matches! Thanks for the warm welcome.

pink @EmmaG Tickled pink was exactly what I had in mind. It’s always a huge campaign to raise money for the cause at work. Yes, it’s pink enough. Thank you for all your effort!

pumpkin @jobloggs I may not need to visit a pumpkin patch after your postcard arrived, I may have enough pumpkins now :grin: I spy definitely is a great tag, you always receive something related to your request, and it is great fun. Thanks for welcoming me <3

BI RR (WPD)

Thank you, Ray @figtrees, for this lovely card of Dylan Thomas’s house at Laugharne (I Spy a writer or their home). I did visit a few years ago but didn’t know that it had been provided for him by a benefactor, so thank you for that interesting fact.

And I received this wonderful card representing Waiting (in the alphabetical tag) from @hodge2020 . Thanks Richard!

BI I Spy Tag

Thank you so much Julie @julieb for this stunning aerial view of RHS Garden Rosemoor. It looks lovely! Like you, though, I’ve spotted flowers on recent walks and can only assume the climate crisis is responsible. Pretty but worrying.

BI Tag

BI Alphabetical Tag

Thanks @tesc for the advice re Versailles and for this lovely card with its matching stamps and stickers in autumnal colours :orange_heart: This was for the “message me this tag” where I asked “how do you relax” - it’s great that charities are benefitting from your knitting & crocheting skills - maybe a postbox topper next?!

And another “message me this” - this time a book recommendation - thank you @mwntimperial for a gorgeous travel poster style card (you do spoil me with these :blush: ) and stamps which either match the seaside or books - perfect! So pleased you’re having a lovely break and had time to read - thanks for the recommendation of Buckeye - it sounds very interesting and I think I’m going to recommend it for my book club when it’s my turn to choose again! :sparkling_heart:

And thank you @EmmaG for this fantastically gold card from the “show the card you offer tag” - my poor photography skills can’t do this justice! Really shiny and so much detail! And of course the back is beautifully decorated as well :sparkling_heart: :owl:

A long overdue thank you to Elisabeth @mwntimperial for this wonderful postcard; this was for the Seasonal Wishlist Tag: Jane Austen’s 250th Anniversary. I read the other day that the recently deceased Prunella Scales thought that Jane Austen should be read aloud in order to see the irony in her writing.

Received this wonderful card of the kitchen at Saltram House in Devon from @mwntimperial as part of the I Spy Tag. Thank you for thinking of me Elisabeth! Although this NT house is in my county, I haven’t been there for at least 20 years so I didn’t have this card in my collection. Hope you had a great holiday.

I’m sorry, I’ve had to delete the post because I cannot complete it on my phone - photos not loading, text editing at random, some buttons not working, etc. I’ll have to try again later. @Herbgarden and @mwntimperial might want to remove their likes!

Thank you @Herbgarden for the lovely black cat card from the I spy tag! :black_cat:
I think my cats are the same, won’t come when you call them but if you even hold a can of tuna, suddenly they materialise :joy:

Thank you @Herbgarden for this brilliant card combining 2 of my profile wishes - Peanuts and football! This was for the “message me this” tag and I asked for what you like about autumn and winter. Thanks for your brilliant list - I struggle with the dark evenings so this year I’m choosing to focus on the positive things about this time of year, thanks for your help! :blush: Love the football and winter themed stamps too!

And thank you @tesc - for the alphabetical tag and E for Ed Sheeran, a true hero in your county! He definitely doesn’t seem to have forgotten his roots :blue_heart: Thanks for a great selection of varied stamps too!

Thanks so much @postcardsfromgeo for your Liverpool card and telling me about something you’ve made for the Message Me Tag! I was just at a craft fair with my sister who also has a cricut machine so she was trying to explain it to me! I’ve seen some cool stuff!

PS. @AnthonyAA the Message Me Tag is BRILLIANT! I want to write and read about all the interesting things that people are suggesting! So many great prompts for writing! I love it!
