Welcome to another edition of Mail Call Monday!!  The following package arrived in my mailbox the week before last.  This post shares the answer to a question I asked myself when it arrived...

The package was a Get Well gift from my friend B in Maine:



It arrived from Canada:


Inside was this small packet...


Containing these two cards:

Thank you, B, for a wonderful surprise!!  I'm really going to enjoy these.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Now I'm looking forward to discovering the ins and outs of color mixing with watercolors.

Until next time...
