Hello All,

I recently entered an Artist Trading Card swap over at Blissfull ATC Swap. http://blissfullatcswap.blogspot.com/
Those of us who signed up for the swap were asked to make one ATC which is 3'1/2" x 2"1/2 standard size. We could make our card using any medium we wished. I received my swap buddies card today from my swap buddy Laura. Our theme for July was "Sisters"
and Laura made this beautiful little work of art made of wool felt that she hand sewn. The image of the three sisters was out of a vintage book from the 1920's. Laura also included the darling little easel to rest this precious work of art on. 
Please stop over and visit Wendy and Debbie who started our Swap and take a peek in the next few days at all of the other ATC's that will be posted. Our mailing date was the 19th. so I got mine early!!!

I have something else to add to what Laura gave me and will post
it later today.

God Bless You All,

Susan

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....
