Celebrating Our 10th T Anniversary!

                      10th Anniversary Swap!!

 Nancy sent me not one ATC(Artist Trading Card) card but THREE! All lovely and with a Harry Potter theme.

Here are some close ups.... She put them all in a lovely clear plastic holder that she attached ribbons and a tiny Harry Potter book. 

             Each one had its own lovely quote.

           I love owls so this was a real winner.

           Nancy sketched and colored these all 

           herself! Thank you so much Nancy. 

We must not forget the tea! I'm not much of a tea drinker (coffee girl here). But i do like Lipton Black Tea and i must say these smelled really good so i will give them a try... 

Nancy did not remember to put 'real' stamps on her envelope and i must say i did not remember to remind her either... But i've bought stamps recently at the Post Office so i can show you what i bought. They are endangered species. 

Here is Elizabeth's required #10 picture. I hope this will suffice. Its all i could think of...lol! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with.   Happy 10th Anniversary everyone!!! 

      Kathy also sent me a lovely PC and some tea!

                          Thank you Kathy! 

My ticket to the T party! Hubby and i went to our favorite Mexican restaurant called Henry's! Sorry i only remembered to take a pic at the end of the meal. We had leftovers for later! See my tea on the side there.  I also took some pics around the restaurant i'll show another time. 

And last but not least i thought i'd show you some progress on the current painting... Above is what i showed you last time.... 

And here is the current state with my reference drawing hanging above... Happy happy T day everyone and Happy Anniversary! Special wishes to our host and hostess Elizabeth and Bleubeard! I sure do appreciate all that you do. Hugs! deb



 

T stands for the Little Things....

 

I made it to another T party!!!  How is everyone? We've been HOT. Up over 100 F every day... The only good time to do anything is early in the morning... and i'am so NOT an early person.. I'm more of a night owl.. But i have to change my 'evil' ways in the Summer... lol So my butt is dragging.. I still try to maintain my night owl status but then i have to get up early..... yawn!

I did find a little thing at a flea market we visited one morning..  He's just adorable with his little ruby eyes... He cleaned up so nice after i brought him home.. No label or any identifying marks... but i will enjoy wearing him.. 

Even golf has happened early one morning just after daybreak.  I found this sign at Hobby Lobby and just had to get it for hubby.. it is so so true...lol I hope you've been well and i'll be around to visit. See you soon! Hugs! deb
