September "Leaves" Blissfull ATC Swap and a Blissfull Challenge Vote

Hello My Dear Friends,


I posted the Beautiful ATC that
Carol Anne made for me and today
she has posted the one I made
for her...so now I will show
all of you the one I made for
Carol Anne.

I tried an experiment with
some skeleton leaves I
had and wool roving.
The leaves are pretty
fragile but I thought if
I "carefully" felted some
wool roving into them
that they might stand up
to the needle punching,
and they did! I also
added some Angelina
fibers to the wool,
each one with
a coordinating sparkle
of color to each leaf.

I used a gold leaf pen
to highlight around the
edges of the leaves as
well as the edges of
the card!
Added some beads
and viola!!! 

Please go visit
The Blissfull ATC site that you will find on my sidebar.
We are having an "ATC Holder Challenge".
We are all making one of a kind holders
for our wonderful ATC's,  the one with
the most votes wins the Challenge!!
If you like my ATC Holder please
put in a vote for mine!!! Thank you!!!

Love to all and Enjoy your Day!!!

Susan

    Never would I have had the nerve to use a real leaf, let alone a skeleton leaf. This is beautiful.

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....
