More thanks...

(Sorry, I got bumped off!) The phone call was like she was right next door, so clear and wonderful to hear her voice. She studied for 18 months at Oxford for architecture and fell in love. She married a teacher and now lives in South Hampton with her son and new husband. I am thankful she found love again and is happy, well and enjoying her life. It made my day. Thank you, E. Like others, I am thankful for my art and all the wonderful friends I have made in this artful and colorful world. You won't make better friends than those in the art community. I am thankful for a wonderful, beautiful and artistic goddaughter, K, who means the world to me. If I had a daughter is would be her. And, yes, her sister, 2 that lives in England. Love you both to pieces.

I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with many things to be thankful for, and please remember and carry those thankful memories with you for the rest of your days.

I am thankful for.....

Thankful for my family, friends and all the blessings the Lord gives me everyday. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who never ceases to delight, surprise and support me. No matter my mood, he is cheerful, funny and lifts my spirits. Thankful for my Mom and sister who love me as much as I love them. Thankful for girlfriends who are always there to share and care! I received a phone call today from my niece who lives in England and that really was a treat that she was thinking of me and my family today.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am wishing all my family and friends a Happy Thanksgiving. I received this card from a special friend a few years ago and would like to share it with you. It is highlighted with tiny, tiny clear beads, and it is very precious to me. I will be busy coooking pasta and turkey, yummy! So I am sending everyone my heartfelt wishes for a happy and safe holiday. Be with the ones you love and enjoy your day. Be thankful for all you have because it is often more than we need.

Autumn Beauties and more...

I am glad I got to post those artist trading cards. I finished them up in 2 days, one day to put together and one to embellish. That was fast for me! I admit it, I take a lot of time with placement and I like every thing to have a certain balance to it. And after I fiddle around with it, my muse, Scarlet, screams, 'enough already!' and I know then that it's perfection (to me anyway.) So working on ATCs, my big project (yes, still working on that - placement and perfection remember) and a few thousand other projects. No complaining, mind you, I just want more hours in the day, who doesn't? There is a quote about DaVinci, Michelangelo and other greats had the same number of hours in the day as everyone else. I know, I know but they might have used their time better. I do daydream once in awhile (bet they did 2.) Have an artful evening!!
