SECRET KLICKY for RICHARD
« on: January 04, 2008, 13:34:33 »


Happy New Year, Playmofriends!

Yesterday, the "island mail boat" brought a wonderful surprise!

I noticed from the postmark that it took almost a month to arrive ... (And, DD sent it "Priority Luftpost").

I tore open the package (which was not easy, as DD had secured it with lots of very strong tape) ... :)

Everything inside was safe and unbroken ... Well done DD! ...  :wow:

The "Gift" is perfect! ...  :love:

In 1493, Christopher Columbus made his second voyage to the New World and visited the Virgin Islands. Columbus named the Islands after Saint Ursula and her 11,000 virgins (Islas de Santa Ursula y las Once Mil Virgenes)!

COLUMBUS HAS RETURNED! THANK YOU, DEADEYE DICK!

I have attached scans of DD's custom box and the splendid card that he sent with his magnificent custom.

Over the next few weeks I will take Chris around the Islands that he discovered and named, and take some photos.

But, for now here's the first attachment ... "the Card" ...  :love:

Hmmm ...

I just realized that to really appreciate DD's beautiful "boxart," that everyone might be tempted to turn their computers upside down ... :lol:

So, here's the picture proper side up ... ;)

Excellent custom Richard! Congrats on your gift.

And a "Well Done" to DD - wonderful job, and I love the card and box.

I noticed, with great pleasure I might add ;), a preponderance of nautical/pirate klickies sent in this year's swap event. Very very cool!

Yes!, excellent custom, and another Well Done DD. :wow:

You didn't have to turn your picture over Richard, It looks
normal if you stand on your head! 8}

Best regards,

What a cool gift! :D

DD's choice of figure was delightfully appropriate and the presentation also superb. :love:

Thanks for posting the scans of the card and box, Richard!
Looking forward to following klicky Chris' exploration of the Islands. :)

Hi Richard,

I really appreciate you like the gift and that everything arrived without any damage. It's the first time I've sent something to the Virgin Islands, so I was a bit worried  8}

Thank you also for providing us this nice historical background of Columbus visiting your place back in '93  ;)

I'm looking forward to your pictures of the Island trip  :love:

Cheers,

DD.
