Hopefully the content will brighten your day just a little. It's a set of photos from our most recent print exchange. For one reason or another we ended up with extra set and I sent you one with the support of the other members. We have flowers, monkeys, goofy kids and everything in between. I hope you enjoy them. I mailed it on Monday and seeing that British Columbia is just a short flight away, I hope you will receive it today or tomorrow.
