Okay, my brother's 40th birthday is coming up so I decided that I'd send him



40 postcards by his birthday. This was just the end of last week. I didn't have 40 days to send them so they are getting sent out in batches. Next time I think this is a great idea somebody please remind me that it took forever to make them!!!!!

I used a SU stamp set and lots of other stamps, mostly SU. I used a truck stamp and made a "hill" then stamped the truck approaching the hill, going up the hill, over the hill and finally on the otherside of the hill. I decided the truck needed something in the bed. so on the trip up the hill I put different things in the bed of it. Then Deb suggested that I put everything in the bed of the truck and having things falling off, out of the truck. It was a really cute idea so today when I began working on the final



20 postcards I loaded up the bed and outside of it, falling off the back, ect. I have a crib with a rope attached to the back of the truck as though it's towing it, and a cow with a balloon and a big rabbit with a birthday cake at the end. I hope he likes them all. It's been fun but teadous to make 40. I'll post some of them when they are all complete.

They sound really cute, Kenda! I can't wait to see them. And BTW, don't do this again, LOL!

They sound adorable Kenda. I offered to make favors for a baby shower for 50 people!! I'm doing the little bags of m&m's with stamped toppers. Very cute, but I'll have to get my assembly line going and do one major part a night. My friend volunteered to help and pay me. I declined the payment (except material reimbursement) but accepted the help.

I offered to do my friend's wedding invitations, for her small intimate wedding with no more than 20 guests. HA! Gust list is now going to be 55!!! Luckily, we have a plan, and she's going to help. But still.....

!!!! Can't imagine doing 50! Hope you post them so we can see what you are doing.

*ducks flying stamps* Am I in trouble now? I do think it was a good idea for things to be falling off as the truck goes down the hill. I would love to have seen his face after he gets all these postcards! LOL

I hope he sees them! He didn't know that Nick's graduation announcement had arrived. Seems he and his wife never talk about things! lol Though I think with 40 coming surely he'll see a few.
