This week Gloria is enjoying a meal at the Pagoda Restaurant with her friends.
Unfortunately, they seem to have arrived in a real tourist trap and find the place full of German diners, even Gloria's fortune cookie is in German!
Figuring that Jayne is best placed in Austria to translate (yes she could've asked the tourists but she's a bit of an after the event gal) she glues her fortune to the front of her card. She's convinced her destiny will shortly become clear, only time will tell...
Gloria's card reads:
Hi Jayne, I can't believe you're still in the snow!
Great meal at the Pagoda last night but crowded with German tourists,
even my fortune cookie was in German!
can you please translate for me,
I just KNOW there's wisdom within
I cut my 'bowl' out of an old cookie box, I sanded and inked the edges. The card is made from a folded sheet of text, you can find the tutorial here if you'd like to have a go!

I love your postcard! It is so different! I wonder what the fortune cookie says!
What a fab card. I'm afraid my German is a tad rusty... something do with eating I think!
Wow! You really make the most unusual pieces!!! Off to check google translate lol :D XXX

Oh, it's easy to translate! Denk om je gezondheid. Eet niet te vet...

Love the postcards Margaret and your previous ones what a fantastic and original challenge.
Plus I love your wire thingys! So glad you are finding more time to create these days.
We haven't had any snow yet either although they are forcasting it again this week but they might as well use a crsytal ball as I think the weather forcasters would be more accurate that way!
