Part two of my ATC Swap



Hi Blog Buddies,

I wanted to share with all of you the other side of my Artist Trading Card from my friend Laura.
On the other side of the Sister's card that I showed you in my earlier post, is this adorable picture of a little girl with the sweet bow and button..isn't she cutest thing!!!
The top card  is a picture of a painting that Laura did of her Sister at an American Indian Pow Wow in North Dakota where Laura lives. Please go visit Laura's Blog site, you will love her fantastic works of Art there...and you will probably see in a couple of days my ATC I sent to Laura...believe me it is not all that great...but it was fun making it none the less!! This was my first try at making an ATC and I throughly enjoyed the experience. If you have never tried making an ATC, please try it out....and I'm sure you will be hooked! The next ATC swap will be in August and the theme will be Orange!!!

Lots of Love and BiG of Hugs to ALL of YOU!!

Susan

    Hey Susan
    Just had to come by today to see what you were up too. I love these TWO pictures you posted.
    How does anyone come up with all these ideas and then be able to do such creative work on top of it. Amazing.
    I know you will enjoy your pieces.
    Hope your staying cool. I will have to get out this afternoon for pool therapy but thank goodness for nothing else except maybe stopping to load up on liguids since I will be doing the liquid diet Thurs for the test Friday.
    Don't forget you are having one too. lol
    Love
    Maggie

    What a delightful card! When I first heard about ATC's I wondered how anyone could make those itty bitty things. Then I made one and another and another....they are so much fun and addictive to make. Glad you are enjoying making and receiving. Have fun!

    Just catching up, been away on holiday! Lucky you to win that challaenge, good story.

    Love your flower painting a few posts ago - I always try to photograph my pieces well enough for a good record but also so I can make a range of printed cards from them - do I? No; maybe having seen your lovely one, I will!

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....
