First off - Betty, you are just full of talent! The cards are beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing the process!

OK, I saw something about a frog going around the world. I want in!!! I have to tell you a funny story along those lines from a few years ago. One of the guys I work with is a graduate of Va Tech - he's a "Hokie". There mascot is a turkey called the Hokie Bird. Well, he had a stuffed one he kept on his desk and I kidnapped him and he traveled all over the place! I even created a yahoo email acct and sent him pictures from all over - Arizona, The Masters in Augusta Ga. An Ohio State game. New York City (see attached), the the Caribbean, Jamestown and more I can't remember. Anyway, I played the story that the Bird had run away from his dull life in a cubicle. I had him meet "new friends" (my DD stuffed animals) and a girlfriend - "Henrietta the Hippo". I had such a fun time with it! I had people taking him all over for me and sending postcards, emails, pictures, etc. After about 6 months, I had him "come back home" and had the guy come down to the lobby because he had a "visitor". I had tons of ppl there and he was so surprised!!!! Anyway, send me the frog!!!

Here's the bird and the Naked Cowboy in NYC.
