The Blissful ATC Swap For November.....Come and Look!!

Hello Dear Bloggy Friends!!                                 


Happy Monday to All!!

Today I would like to share
with you first a very lovely
ATC made by my swap buddy
Peggy. Peggy and I were
randomly picked as swap
buddies over at The Blissful
ATC Swap Blog.


Peggy handpainted this lovely
ATC and then whipstitched
around the laminated edge.
this is only her third ATC
and I think she is so very
creative and look forward
to see what she will make
in the future!

Peggy also included some lovely lace,
and a beautiful beaded and sequined
disk...this is really unique and beautiful.

The next item she hand painted Roses
onto some River Birch Bark. The
River Birch stands in Peggy's front
yard and she uses the bark in her
art work....isn't that the coolest
thing?? Peggy even gave me a
few strips for my own creative
endeavors!!


This last ATC was made by me to trade with Peggy.
I named it "Journey" for my love of travel.

Hope you all have enjoyed the pictures
and I wish you all a lovely day!!

With Love and Gods Blessings To All,

Susan

    Nice things you are sharing with us today. The ATC by Peggy I thought at first was a decorated cake! That sequined beaded disk is very unusual and striking. How did she make that I wonder. Your ATC is wonderful also, maybe your next one will have some bark bits on it?

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....
