May 2005 - Two Australians moved to Tuscany where they planned to live for two years. Two weeks later their dogs, Snowy and Dermott, arrived. Seven years and a property purchase later, they're still here.

Flying Pictures First Sketchbook Exchange
Lindsay's sketchbook has arrived in Tuscany. I thought it was going to take forever as most of our incoming mail does. Lindsay resisted the temptation to decorate the envelope so it couldn't be termed 'package' and end up in that Poste Italiane black hole in Milan.
What a surprise to find not only a beautiful collage by Lindsay but an envelope full of treasures for my own artistic adventure.
I love the little canoes passing through the mountains of beautiful Japanese printed paper.
Now I have to carry on Lindsay's water theme into the two pages I will add to her book before sending it on to Casey.
You can follow the journey of all seven handmade Flying Pictures sketchbooks HERE.

Wonderful Robyn! So glad you are having fun and that we know the packages will arrive in timely fashion!
How exciting! I can't wait to see how this progresses.
This is going to be fun watching you girls and seeing what you do.
Does each book have its own theme??? This looks like such fun!
Lovely little surprise packages are being created here. How wonderful! Its so interesting watching the images unfold - literally!
What fun!!! I love your trees in the post below - olive trees have such wonderful shapes!
Thank you all for sharing the fun. It really is like Christmas when 'the book' arrives. Even HWEM had a flicker of excitement in the corner of his mouth.
Joan - yes, each book has its own character, if not declared theme. As you can see, Lindsay has a Water theme. Next one I receive via Lindsay will be Ronell's, which is Rainbow Moments.
What a wonderful project and great communication between you all. Enjoyed reading through the link you gave us for the seven Flying Pictures - thanks. Looking forward to seeing how the books turn out. What will happen to them when they are complete??
What wonderful things. I'm so envious.
