I Loved This!

Close up of "Take it"

This just blew me away. Please allow me to explain. So just before Valentine's Day I participated in the Hearts prompt for Sunday Postcard Art and posted it here. Remember this?


Well, I took the 4 x 6 card to the printers shortly thereafter and made several copies which I included in Valentine packages - along with pink Swarovski crystal necklaces - that I gave to Kendra's teachers and some of my girlfriend's children. Packages were given to my little friend Ashton and her BFF Karlee.


Now, it just happened to be my birthday a few days later. And you won't believe what they gave me. These!!! They took my art, studied it, and gave it back to me in their own version! Is that not the coolest thing ever? Wanna see em?

I was proud, happy and honored all wrapped up in one. And now, I'm starting to work with them, side-by-side, as we teach each other all about the world of Mixed Media. I'll let you know what I learn . . .

Oh! And speaking of great honor, I wanted to share this award I recently received from Debbie of Simply Debbie. We met during OWOH and she was so kind to think of me. Thank you Debbie, I am so grateful . . . and blushing . . .
