#171 & 172, and more

 Here are a couple more of my altered postcards. Tape and words really change things up.
 I'm not as pleased with the composition of this one. I think another strip of tape might have been needed but I decided to stop myself.
 Yesterday, I walked to the mechanic's to pick up my car.  I guess I should walk more, as it helped my back feel better. 
Here's something I saw on my walk. I'm always surprised to see cactus here. This one is lovely.
My son and Ndil's friend Carra came over yesterday  and strung our tree with lights. It's so pretty. We turned on the lights when it got dark out, and "ooooh, so pretty."

Oh wow, very pretty ! I love twinkle lights, so festive. I never would have guessed you had cacti in your neck of the woods. Glad your back settled down. Mine has too. Can't wait to hear about the party!! Xo
