My Royal Package Arrived



Yesterday. I have been anxiously awaiting it's arrival since the first week or so in April. In it was a stamp set Venaissance by Llewelyn - Bowen. So elegant. I ordered this one from an online store called Bels Crafts. What a terrific online company.You can visit them at http://www.belscrafts.co.uk/ and see all that they carry. Since I had not purchased from them before or from the UK I wasn't sure how long it would take to get here. After several weeks had passed I sent Annabel at Bels Crafts an e-mail to get an update. She mentioned it usually takes about 2 weeks. I was wondering if the Volcano had anything to do with it being delayed and She mentioned that the mail was being routed to Spain. So I let a few more weeks go by. Still nothing. Last Friday would have been about a month. Then I waited just a few more days. Sad to say I gave up and requested a refund a few days ago. Oh if I had only waited just a few more days. I wrote her immediately yesterday to tell her not to give me a refund. I have to say the customer service and communication was really great. And I definately will do business with her again.

Gothic Arch Challenge ~ Mona Lisa


Mona Lisa forever depicted in this pose with that semi smile. Leaving many to wonder.  I think if I were her I would want to escape from the 4 walls of the painting. To fly and be free. So this is what I did for the challenge. To see what other artists came up with for this challenge click here.
