I received this large envelope in the mail. Thought, what the heck could this be. Truly it can't be a card. But then I get this PM from the Mudder, saying I just sealed this envelope and forgot to sign the inside. So, here is what would be in the inside had I put it it. (not going to share that part. hehe)
Anyway, just take a look at this creation. I have never in my life received such a unique card as this one. I mean, it's like having Johnny, I mean, Jack Sparrow right by me. The detail Cindy put into this card is amazing. She even put beads in his hair!!!!!
Cindy/Mothermark/Mudder/Gertie, just chose one, is probably the bestest and most creative card maker ever! I love this pirate ship BD card!!!
Cindy this is flippin fantastic. I love how real this looks. Your sky is a sky! Your sails, well .......I get speechless trying to describe this card that is now mine! All mine!!!!
This was a total surprise. I am amazed that darling Sis didn't spill the beans first. hehe THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this wonderful creation and for thinking of me! I am touched, my Colorado Sister! Really touched....and not in the head. haha!
Please friends, leave this clever lady some love. She is one heck of a card maker AND Story teller too!..........TFL :0)

Oh my goodness, one of Cindy's amazing creations. I still have one from last year sitting on my piano to admire and enjoy. Look at his hair, with all those beads and string. I think we'd better take the tea-party to a hairdressing salon one of these weeks.

I am glad it got there in one piece! Yikes! I am excited to see your excitement over this....I knew it would have a good home in you.......you know not someone that would dump it in the garbage after 42,000 hours of work on it! Giggle!
