Blissful ATC Swap..... Theme White/Snow......Trip cancelled due to bad weather!!

Hello Dear Friends!!



I wanted to share with all
of you the newest ATC
I made for the Blissful
ATC Swap for January.
The theme this month
was "White/Snow"!!
I never thought "how"
apropo this theme would
turn out to be!!


I used Glitter Sheets by
Petaloo for the background
which I affixed to a
blank ATC card.
The next layer was the
beautiful little girl
image.
Next layer I scattered
some dimensional
snowflake stickers from
the EK Success Boutique
line.
The next layer I used
over those three layers
was a Hand silk-screened
clear transparent sheet
called "Frosty Snowflakes"
on top of the layers.

I used Clear Gel Tacky
Glue as my adhesive
for the multiple layers.

I also added some trim
between the two bottom
layers to act as a frame
around the outside edges.
I also scallop cut some of the
white glitter paper to add a
small frame to the edges
of the transparensy and little
flat back pearls for each corner.

My wonderful swap partner
Jane Wetzel received my ATC
and so I am now able to share
it with all of you.
Jane's ATC is on the way and
I look forward to sharing her's
with all of you soon.

Well my dears I will
NOT be going to New Jersey
this week after all.
We are having a hard time
here in Georgia with the
Ice/snow we received
on Monday and now today
as I have watched the forecast
for the greater New York
New Jersey area they will
be getting hit by two snow storms
one from the south...the one we got,
and also getting hit from one
coming from the west via the
great lakes.

Sooo I have to be patient a bit
longer in visiting little Lucia
and my grandsons. Boo Hoo!!

I wish you All a great day!!

Love and Blessings,

Susan
xxoo

    Susan!
    What an amazing creation! You have captured an elegance...sparkle and dazzle! I love this ATC.
    Well done!

    If you want a chuckle.....
    I spent quite some time today searching for the Jane Austen Quiz online, but to no avail! And alas...I come here and lo and behold, you have it right on your sidebar! I used to have it when I first started blogging and I thought it might be nice to post it on my blog again! Now, thanks to you, I just might get around to actually getting it done!

    Have a great night!

    Ciao Bella!

    Susan, this is really pretty. All the layers give it so much dimension, not to mention sparkle.

    And, as you know, there is MORE snow up this way! Worse where you were headed. Here, we only have 6" but the sun is out! So pretty and bright!

    Thank you for your friendship and kind words, Susan. :-)

    Keep warm!
    Hugs, Diane

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....
