I was wondering about the mushrooms myself .. Lovely cards! Happy New Year morbid friend! ;)
Happy New Year!
My job search begins today - here's hoping!
Cheers,
Patty
Good luck Patty!
And this from a private email from someone who saw this post:
"The mushroom is the Fly agaric or Amanita muscaria, if you look on Wikipedia you will find a section on the Christmas ,Santa, Fly agaric connection and more cards with mushrooms. You will also find out how reindeer can fly (or think they can), and about hallucinogenic urine."
