Red/And Or Pink for Created By Hand

Last Summer

When the winter gets as cold as we've experienced this year, not to mention the snow; it's hard to imagine that in a few short months I will be able to enjoy this glorious rose again....this is a David Austin own root rose. The only rose that is really impressive in my garden, year after year, despite many years of periodic neglect ;o}

An Award

Well I received this award from this dear (co-designer) Eileen and I am very happy and flattered but I am guilty of receiving a few others and being unable to respond in kind.......I apologize to those that I have been unable to reciprocate.

Having said that, I would like to pay this one forward to the following people because they inspire me in art, inspiration and kindness and, once again, I must apologize because I prefer not to follow the rules......so none of these inspirational bloggers need do anything but know that they are special ;o}

#1 Sandie from Sandie's Sanctuary

#2 Sandy from Stempelchaotin

#3 Linda from Friends In Art

#4 Marilyn from Outside the Lines

#5 Nellie from the Dutch Stamp Tramp

#6 Kelly from Artsy Visions

and finally #7 is Sherry from Esprit d art

All the blogger's I have selected share the one strongest common element........they are inspirational in their artworks and their continued commitment of sharing something of themselves is very much appreciated!

Bows

I created this card for a special lady, Karen, who has lost her mum. I hope that she finds some comfort when she sees stars. Also, I would love to share with you the source of the magnificent star I didn't really focus on the bow here ~ however it is a lovely shade of peachy pink and I think this is a special color for my friend!
