Fw: [lace] card exchange
In answer to your question Janice, the Thatched building was taken from the web when we were looking for a traditional local building style to make up the card. I wanted something that would fit the area and the season and my DH was 'playing nicely' hence the sign which he added to the picture. I hadn't liked any of the cards I had already bought to work for Alices card and we were talking about what could be used instead. To my eyes, that one just said Christmas in the countryside in England. Alice is able to remove the picture and replace it with any picture/photo she wants to in the future. While researching our families we did find a number of family members running pubs during the last over a 100 years (and my cousin runs and is chef in a place in Wales rather than Dorset but I dont think his has a thatched roof). Bill is rather proud of his name and the tartan and crests that have gone along with it. I think the standard of lace exchanges is always incredible and its brilliant to see everyone elses ideas , artistry and work.

I was just looking through the Arachne card exchange again and I noticed that the card from Sue Turnbull had a photo of a thatched building with a sign saying Turnbull Arms. Sue, do you run a pub or is it just a sign you have on your house? It looks very attractive in the snow.

Fw: [lace] Card Exchange
I always scan things that are flat, or photograph anything that wont go into the scanner and save them to disc along with the name of the person it came from, I can always check through my discs if I dont remember something (sometimes takes a bit of time to find though:-) and also from time to time save all lacy things onto one disc as well, so its easier to access these images. My stack of important lace patterns and documents is getting out of control and needs some sorting, gathering and binding. Mind you when I haven't got any lace actually working on my pillow I do look through the stack and enjoy what I see, my list of those patterns I want to do grows longer than the time allows to make them. g Sue T, Dorset UK Joking apart it must be horrible to know you have been given something, then in time you forgetting who the things are from. I have only been doing the card swap for three years and have kept the cards So I will take a leaf from Janice`s book so I don`t forget.- For those who have ornaments instead of, or with, their cards, take a photocopy before putting the lace on the tree (or wherever it goes). Most lace ornaments, especially when intended for mailing, are flat enough to do that. You can note on the paper who it's from, when you received it, the circumstances (secret pal, card exchange, etc.) and keep the photocopy with your ornaments or with important documents or some other, memorable place. Then as the memory fades, refer to the paper. Robin Robin P.
