So this is Paloma, my simple paper dove. For her I make a wish: could she take flight and give all around the world her Freedom and Peace message." ....... Lys
Written after the horrid attacks in Paris last November, Lys of Impression Scrap has made a pretty paper dove that she has sent out into the world with a wish for Freedom and Peace. Lys asked that each recipient post some pictures of Paloma at your home and then send her out into the world. Paloma arrives with her own travel itinerary so you will know where to send her. She also arrives with an introduction letter from Lys and a note from Alison of Words and Pictures.
Do you see her? She is cuddled up to the rear of my sweet Tom and he is looking down at
at her. He just cannot believe I put a paper bird on his tail. And I really did too!!
While visiting us, Paloma went with us to a local nursery and helped us pick out flowers for our garden.
Paloma was sent to me from Sara Emily of Sarascloset . My word, everyone must know how much I love Halloween so Sara Emily sent me this fantastic tag along with some neat Halloween gifts. Thanks Sugar!
This is the card I made for Paloma's new hostess in the United Kingdom. In the package I also placed a few housewarming gifts.
We would all love to see more Peace in the world today --

This is such a sweet and heart warming post.
Paloma is a very special Peace Dove traveling the world and looks right at home with your peaceful and handsome Tom ♥ and frolicking amongst those lovely flowers too.
You got some lovely art mail Sandy and sent some too!

It's great to see that Paloma came to rest her wings with you Sandy! Of course Sarah Emily would send you Halloween stuff! Why on earth not!!!....and it didn't scare the wits out of me!! Love the card you are sending on! BTW 68!! Hugs, Chrisx
Hi Sandy
That's one placid puss. If I'd put it near my old kitty, I think Paloma may have a few teeth marks.
Lovely idea and hope she enjoys her journey.

This is a sad thing in the world today we need peace throughout the world but so many people do not know the true meaning of what that is, until that happens we will never have that peace. Thank you for sharing your stunning dove card. My love, peace and joy be with you all the days. Pat
What a pretty card you made to send off to Paloma's new host! Love that sparkle!Thank you for the sweet little holler! You're the best! Your sweet puddy tat looks like he might be interested in having that dove for dinner! Yikes! That would not be good! I hope you have a lovely weekend! Hugs!
Well isn't this a great way to spread peace across the world. It really is this easy...so why can we not accomplish it. That is a really awesome tag you received with Paloma. And you've made a really great card to send her off with. What a wonderful cut out border around the frame opening. I'm so glad Tom cat was mostly friendly with Paloma.
What a lovely post Sandy! How thoughtful of Sara to send you that gorgeous Halloween tag, it could not have been a better choice for you! I love the pic of Tim with Paloma too, he definitely looks more than just a little interested in her....
