Hello Blogging Buddys,

I wanted to show you my second ATC I made recently for my friend
Jan over at "Laughing Dog Arts". I found out that Jan likes to trade ATC's and so I asked her if she would like to do a Swap and she said yes!! So
I made her this one. I call it "Evening Flight"....I had this little scrap of a butterfly I found somewhere and part of the right wing was not even there and I kept it for a long time thinking well one day I will use it in something...so while I was hunting through my stash I found this little guy and I also had a scrap of a flower too that went with it. So I got out my paints and just started painting. I glued the butterfly on the edge and instead of gluing the little paper flower on I painted what the flower looked like on the bottom. Jan has already recieved it and loved it, so I felt it was ok to show it to the rest of you now!! Hope you like it too!! When I get the ATC that Jan made me I will show you that one as welll!!

Love and Gods Blessings to All of you and have a GREAT weekend!!

Susan

    Susan,
    Love your butterfly ATC, very cool! I saw your vintage wedding pillow & about fell off the chair! Amazing, love the way you did the lace to hold the photo. Yummy, all of it. Lisa
    PS Also love that Diane Knotts, she's the best.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
