I want each of you to know
that
each precious bit of art that crosses my door...
each little comment you share on my blog...
each time you just silently pop in for a peek...
EACH OF THESE
is dear to me.
They are the magical "stuff" that makes me smile
deep inside
that place in my heart where my Muse lives.
Lately, she has been dancing
and leaping with
joy!

Such fun lively creative works.
What a wonderful bunch of art cards this time! Each time is such a joy for me just watching, I know it's pure pleasure for you to get those envelopes in the mail and then open and see what treasures are inside! And congratulations on your 2 awards - both very much deserved :) So happy we are finally getting to trade, too!!!
oh wowie, and whew and 'bloody marvellous' (as the brits say!) and you know how much we love you too. when i first started commenting on your blog, there were very few comments, now you are loved by all!!!!
Thankful Thursdays are turning into such a treat! I thank YOU for sharing all this wonderful goodness with us. :)
It's so much fun to see all kinds of art from all over the world. That's why I really like Urban Sketcher too. So many different styles! Creative people everywhere - I want to sit with all of them and paint.
Of course you deserve these awards - we all can't wait to see what exotic works you have to share with us. So good to be back and stroll through all the missed posts.
Thought of you when I tramped (breathless) up hill behind our hotel to the birthplace of Daniel Comboni, one of the first missionaries to Central Africa ... for as I walked along I spotted a wonderful cactus in bloom - and all at once I thought of your CACTUS MONDAY POSTS. Hopefully I'll paint it one day .
Wonderful examples of art and friends!
Lovely trades and gifts there, glad to see mine among them to make you happy.
All this trading is just great all these surprises falling on the doormat are so much fun!
You deserve those awards dear!
hug!
Hey, lady!
These are so cool!
I wanted you to know I finally featured your cards on my blog because I just couldn't wait for my blog break to be over to show them.
Someone named Joss commented asking to trade ATCs with me and I wrote back to her, but never heard. Do you know who I mean?
I'm going to go look at your CRAVE post now. looks interesting...
CONGRATULATIONS!! .... and my days are brightened by each new post that you put up. I love to see what is the latest from you. Keep painting and have fun in the process.
