Friendship across the sea's

I am fortunate to have made a wonderful
 friend, I met her because we both share a love of art, we got talking and I happend to say I was saving up for some more art materials. Then she said she had some art books and magazines she could send me. Then when the parcel arrived I had a wonderful surprise, my wonderful friend had sent me some books and magazines and some other wonderful arty bits and peaces. I then had a surprise when she was kind enough to send another one with other wonderful surprises. We have now got a wonderful, strong friendship, which to me is very special, I have been sent to me yesterday this wonderful book and some great back issues of Artist magazine and Pastel Journal to read. I have also had some sketching pencils which are also watersolouble and drawing pens with a selection of different nibs, this is something new for me and so, I will have to experiment with them to see what I can do.  Thank you to a truley wonderful friend. She is, to me an inspiration as well as a wonderful friend.
