Lone Pine Designs: thanks so very much

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

thanks so very much

On the 1st of January 2012 my hot water tank sprung a leak! Not the best way to start the new year but thankfully we have a friend that was kind enough to spend 12 hours taking out the old one and putting a new one in as well as a few other much needed parts on our heating system. I made this thank you card to go with the little gift we got him. The kangaroo and sentiment is from the Stampin' Up set Build-a-Roo. I drew the little tools with my Copic Multiliner and coloured them with SU markers.
