Thankful Thursday - ATC Storage

As you can see I use a regular photo album for my atc storage. I like this because I can write who they are from on the lines beside the atc and I don't have to handle them too much.

I can't tell you how much gratitude I feel and the feeling of a shared community with all of you that I trade ATCs with. Your generous loving nature is passed along with each card and I treasure them.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will be celebrating my FIL's 90th birthday. Cheers.

Animal Wednesday - Lion

I feel a little like I am cheating by using the "L"ion for Animal Wednesday. But this is my offering this week. A Lion that is on its way to Marianne. Happy Animal Wednesday all. Ink and watercolor ATC.

Blooming Tuesday

Not exactly a bloom but the results of blooms. This is a sketch I did of the first ripe blackberry I found in the garden this week. It is officially blackberry picking time. Happy Blooming Tuesday to you all.

Skywatch Friday and Magnificent Mail

After a day when you get over three inches of rain and you get up to blue skies and fluffy clouds you know it is going to be a good day. Sure enough the Mailman delivered a delightful packet to me from Judy at Naturalist Journal:Down The Nature Trail. I so enjoy her blog. I think we are on the same wave length when it comes to enjoying nature. I mean just look at the way the envelope is decorated.

This sweet card with a Chinese proverb written on it was in the packet describing some of the goodies inside.

Such as this copy of a paper from a Temple she visited in Hong Kong.

This sweet good luck charm made like a bookmark.

To top it off she sent three ATC's that she did when she saw some of my photos on my blog that inspried her.

I think of it as such a compliment to have an artist want to paint/draw something I have taken a picture of.

Thank you so very much Judy for sharing your talent and treasures with me. I feel mightly blessed today. My heart is buzzing with delight.
