So you were all waiting for the other half of my layout?
\nGood! Love that.
\nThere’s nothing wrong with a little patience…<\/p>\n

This week’s challenge over at Lotus Paperie<\/a> is to use a piece of notepaper.
\nFeel it coming…?<\/p>\n

(Vivian thought so –\u00a0see her comment on Friday 18th –\u00a0good thinking Viv!
\nAnd when\u00a0Denise mentioned that she thought the first half of the layout was
\n“peaceful yet lonely” without even reading the message on\u00a0todays other half,
\nI knew I’d\u00a0succeeded\u00a0in\u00a0bringing the exact feeling onto the layout!)<\/p>\n

So take a look, here it is… the other half (and the complete spread)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The layout for Lotus Paperie Challenge #143: Use a piece of notepaper.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here’s the complete spread.
\n(I think you know this\u00a0by now, but\u00a0pics can be enlarged by clicking on)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0And this is the “message I threw into the ocean”…\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hard to read?
\nI think a bit of ocean water leaked into the bottle, but this is what it says:<\/p>\n

Dear reader
\nSo you found my bottle, great!
\nHi! I’m Marit, and I threw this bottle
\ninto the ocean, standing on the
\nbeaches of my Island. No, it’s not a
\ndesert Island, my loved ones & family
\nare with me as are a few friends.
\nI love living on my Island. I choose to
\nlive this way. I don’t like to socialize
\nmuch and I function best when it’s
\npeaceful and quiet around me. But I like
\nto get in touch with other people
\noccasionally. I’m not shy you know.
\nSo at times, I throw messages into the world
\nin the hope that it will be picked up by
\na nice person. Are you a nice person?
\nI allow nice people to set foot on my Island,
\nso feel free to contact me.
\nI might invite you on my Island…<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours truly,<\/span><\/p>\n

Marit<\/span><\/p>\n

And how would YOU use a piece of notepaper?
\nCome on over\u00a0and play with us!
\nHave a nice weekend!
\nJe t’embrasse<\/p>\n
