A Host card is never required but always loved and appreciated. I can always use extra postage if you have some to spare.

Theme Information:
EASY/REGULAR THEMES: It is easy to think up a card, find a reference or an image for a collage for it. Examples of easy themes: fairies, cats, dogs, marine life, flowers, windows Examples of regular themes: dogs, fairies, sunflowers, zetti

Can I snag the last spot in group 5, please? :)

Is Doctor Who a regular theme? (It is for me, hah!) If so, I'll go with that. If not, I'll go with giraffes, please!
 
*headdesk* I really, really shouldn't be on here while I'm trying to resist the artsy temptation and focus on uni stuff. :geek:
