I started writing these pages in July
so I am just thrilled to bits by your response. And would like to say thank you for getting me this far. 
Now, as you know, I am going to produce a collection of POSTCARDS from your suggestions on this page, tomorrows page, or facebook or email. 
All countries are welcome to enter so do not be shy. I will start collating this coming Saturday so you have a few days. I shall draw the winners on Sunday. And let you know on Monday. 
The Matriarch and Our John have each offered to sponsor a winner too. So I shall be giving away THREE sets of postcards.
I think there was conspiracy when you chose Postcards. They will be printed as a run, so there will be a small number of packages left over. 
I will put my thinking cap on and work out how to sell a few of this limited edition to those people who express their interest. Time enough for that though.
Here are a few of my suggestions for your consideration and I am SO looking forward to yours. We all have different, individual, special eyes. So I need your choices to round the work out. 
Oh no, I just realised that there is no Daisy or Mama here or TonTon for that matter. oops. I bet you will have something to say about that. I shall pop a few of your suggestions up tomorrow if their dimensions are such that they can be turned into successful postcards.
Your ideas can be as vague or as specific as you like. We are all most delightfully busy! All comments from this post or tomorrow’s go into the draw for a package. Each package will have Eight Postcards, with doubles. So there will Sixteen Postcards in all.
We had a little dusting of snow in the night. Some added crunch to our footsteps! The whole house smells like chicken soup as I have had a pot of chicken stock sitting on the woodstove all night!
What an exciting day! When I started writing this, in the dark, early this morning, the kitchen’s garden had 40,241 HITS! You are so cool.
Good morning!!

Congratulations! There will be many more to come.
Thank you Debra! c
I like the marbly bee 🙂 t
I agree Miss T..thank you
Awesome!!
Thank you Joy! c
C, my regular reply is not working, so, I hope joy doesn’t mind that I latched on. My favorite photos of yours are the black and white ones. In fact, I would love to frame some and hang them as prints on my walls at home. Consider doing that, too. I would pay. Not much (not nearly what they’re worth) because I am a poor struggling writer, but I would certainly pay something. I think your photos are some of the best in the blogging world. I think they are art. So, you write well, take great photos and are a wonderful cook. Gosh, I’ve got to get to NZ one day! HF
The honeybee on the marbles remains one of my favorite images. And I was just getting ready to beg for a shot of TonTon when I saw that you had mentioned him. Any shot of his intense expression is great.
I will look for one, maybe that shot of him in the snow!?.. c
Hi, They are all amazing photos! Congratulations on the hits.
Regards Florence x
Tons of fun Florence! c
Well you deserve that and more..my journey through your posts continue although am only at Sept 7th I think! Do we each pick out 1 fav?
You can choose from anywhere on the pages, these are just a few to maybe jog your memory. Any other picks or suggestions will go onto the list! c
I think that pic of the frog just begs to be a postcard. Perfect!
Bridget.
I think so too Bridget, he lives in our frog garden and is a noisy fellow! Hope he has cousins who come back this summer! c
The bee photo is a definate winner…but Ton Ton needs one, too!
Congrats on your milestone!
TonTon IS a favourite! and thank you! c
Yay, yippee, woohoo – what an awesome day Celi! This is all very exciting and I cannot possibly make a choice out of the 8 photos that you shared today. I shall have to wait until I have seen them all! Sorry.
Congratulations again – I will be sure to toast your success this evening!
🙂 Mandy xo
Thank you Mandy, it is fun to do a wee retrospective at this time! if you think of any I have not remembered do let me know! c
Congratulations dear Cecilia, it is so nice… You are welcome. There are so beautiful photogpraphs of yours… Which one can I chose I am really confused… There are sunset, trucks, wine with glasses, daisy and mama, and cats, dogs, and and yes, the wedding dress,,, But I think the misty truck in this post. Thank you, have a nice day, with my love, nia
Awesome nia, i shall remember your ideas as i am looking about, have a lovely evening! c
Congratulations on your milestone. I hope you know that we are all celebrating with you today.
That is lovely Karen, I am pretty stoked to have got this far! And have all of you to thank! c
Of course I am glad the bees are here. They were tops for me. Alas, I will not be able to choose over the next few days as I am at school then away. I will check to see what has been decided when I return next week. How lovely of John and The Matriarch. They must love your work aas much as we do.
Morning Annie, your name is in the draw now, and it looks like the bee is very popular! c
No TonTon? It’s a conspiracy! If you need one more idea, roosters are good, but the ones you picked are fantastic. The corn one is my favorite. And congrats!
i know.. oops. I shall look for a rooster today. I do love that corn shot too! c
bzzzzzzzZzZzz! beautiful!
Ha ha ha perfect vote! c
I second that vote, though I have to say the corn picture looks like a doorway into a magical world 🙂
This is my first time stopping by and your blog is fantastic. Congratulations on all the traffic and keep up the amazing work. I’ll be stopping by again 🙂
Thank you and WELCOME!!c
