More Artful Gathering pages for You and My New Giveaway Coming Soon!!

Hey Sweeties!!!

Hope you All are having a great
week so far!!! It has been Hotter
than heck down here in Hotlanta!!

So I am still busy with ny online
art class and thought I would share
a few more pages of my heritage book with you!!
This is my Aunt Julia who was quite the beauty in her day. Julia was in various beauty pagents and also danced with the Gertrude Hoffman Girls in the 1920's.
These two pages are a tribute to my Great Grandfather Peter who came from Scotland.
Peter was born in 1850 and was raised on a farm in southwest Scotland and came to America in 1870. He was a maker of fine furntiture and became vice president of the Harlem River Lumber Co. for many years.

My online class given by Nancy Maxwell has been so enjoyable. I have learned alot in her class.
I will be making the keepsake Box soon that my heritage book will be kept in.

Stay tuned to this Blog because I will be announcing my long overdue 200th. post and my Birthday Giveaway.....very very soon!!

Love and Blessings
Susan

    Dear Susan
    Your such a sweetheart for taking the time to chat with me tonight. Oh how I love it when we laugh together.
    You and your Aunt are for sure kin. I can see where your dad and brother thought so. Both of you are beautiful!
    What a treasure you have in this book. I can't imagine how pretty it truly is because I know sometimes pictures don't show the real beauty. Would love to there now holding it and visiting with you.
    Now I am off to look at your other pieces we talked about
    Feel better soon
    Love ya
    Maggie

    Hi Susan! You will get a laugh out of this: I had double clicked on your photo of your Great Grandfather tribute and at first I read the one on the left as Clams of Scotland. Clams? I didn't know they raised clams over there, ha ha. Oh, ClaNs, now that makes more sense. I also had to look closely at the little red figure on the piece of yardstick. At first I thought it looked like a little asian figure but I finally saw it is a Clansman playing bagpipes. Right? Anyway, wonderful work! You inspire me to try to utilize some of my own ancestral imagery. Looks like you are having a lot of fun with this class. Keep your cool!

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....
