Thank you..





Thank you for your patience.. your continued support and your friendship! My life is slowly calming down, although now the pull of the outdoors is calling. We have chickens now, gardens to plant, veggies to grow, sheds to build and it's all good. Hope that Spring is taking root in your lives and that goodness is flowing! (or Autumn, depending on which hemisphere you are in!)

    Thank you for the beautiful words,and of course for sharing your lovely art .
    Blessings to you and your great outdoor projects.
    It all sounds very thrilling .
    I am just a farm girl who left the land many years ago to live in the city with my hubby but the love of the land has never left my heart.
    Have a very happy and productive spring.

    Glad to hear things are calming down. It's supposed to be spring here but it sure doesn't seem like it (Illinois, USA). I'm sure we'll get a fleeting glance and then get hit with summer. Such is life.

    Hugs,

    I don't think you owe us any apologies! You regularly provide us with lovely things to use in our art and if real life takes over, that's as it should be.

    Yes, spring is taking root here as well. I found lots of perennial "volunteers" which self-seeded in my garden over the winter.

    Unfortunately, the #%^&$#@ deer found them as well! But I guess they have to eat, ya know?

    Wishing you a wonderful season, Abbie!
    xoxo,

    Isn't wonderful to have this beautiful weather! What a winter. I love the crab graphic. I'll have to find a good place for it. Oh I just thought of how I can use it in my next "True North Arts" project. I noticed that there are a couple of links here to my sites that are outdated. I've had some major changes! I'm no longer publishing "soul journal" prompts - they are now part of my new venture called, "True North Arts" www.truenortharts.com and my collage diva site has moved and the URL is www.collagediva.com.

    Thanks again for linking to me. I'll be sharing a link back to you in my mega post next week to send my visitors your way for cool images to use in their projects.

    Enjoy the chickens and garden.

    {soul hugs}

    Hello, I've "nabbed" several of your lovely images, and your button for my blog.

    I'm editing them (transparent backgrounds, etc.) and have posted the first one, a vintage U.S. flag, on my blog. I didn't see a way to contact you, so please let me know that this is okay with you.
