So...guess who just arrived in the mail?  You guessed it!  Our sweet gal, Betty the Brownie Six-16, is back home from her round-the-world junket; and in fine fettle, to be sure, considering she's been away from home for nearly two-and-a-half years.  Paul Headland was the last to hold her, and I thank you for packing her so carefully, Paul.

Thanks to all of you who participated in this project!  Thanks for the terrific journal entries and the extras, like the beer and Vegemite labels, and the different Betty pics (Grable, White, Page).  Thanks for all the terrific pics you snapped, too. 

I would love to put together a small album of your photos, but the ones at shutterfly are low-res for the most part and can't be printed.  Could those of you who participated please send me high-res files of at least two of your favorites from your time with Betty?  I would greatly appreciate it!  Please don't delay, because if you're like me, the longer you wait, the less chance you'll have of doing it.

Thanks again, everybody!  Betty says thanks, too.  Smiley

I can't believe Betty is finally home!  Let me look over my shots and I'll send you a few of my favourite shots.  Can't wait to see the album!

Pete, I couldn't choose! So I sent you, ahem, more than two.  I hope you can choose among them. 

Thanks for making Betty's trip possible.

Shall I email the pictures, or (better still) do you have somewhere I can FTP them to?

Paul, I ain't fancy, a simple email transfer will do.  Use the email at my profile page, but don't send all in one, please.
