This is just one of the Anne Julie postcards that I ordered on Etsy as well.

I plan to frame all the postcards to hang in my house and give some away as gifts too.

My house is STILL a mess. The plumbers had to take out all the old pipes as the house is very old and the pipes are “kapoet”. They also had to move the geyser. One more week and I think the bathrooms will be done.

I thought about it long and hard and decided that the thing I want to to that I’ve never done before (and always wanted to) was to give oil painting a try. So I signed up for art lessons at a local gallery in Parys. My first class is on 2 July and I can’t wait! Because of my work it has to be after hours and I hope I’ll have energy left at the end of the day to give this my best go.
