SURPISE Visitor

 We get an email  via  face-book  saying..we are going to be  visiting you in a few days!!!   All the  way from Sweden.......Our  foreign exchange daughter  and  her fiance  came  for a few days  stay!!   Six   years  ago  she  spent her   senior year  with us   here in the  U.S.     It was so good to see  her  again....they  will be  touring  America  for  three weeks.....as   of  tonight they  are  down in Texas!
 
 Its always  a good thing  when  I join on line  artsy stuff to do.....It  really  gives me  focus.....calms  me  and  just shakes up the  routine  a  bit.....the  two above  photos are  of some  ATC's a new venu... watercolors///  you had to fill a page.......theme is  floral....then   color it and then   cut it to the right  size....that was  very  soothing  for me!  The  top  one is simply a garden theme tag art
 The world of  collage.......and   I love  birds.....
 Loretta  Lynn was  in Redwood  Falls   last  night  so we went to see her  concert.....It was raining  so we  could not be in the  fields///  I have  always  loved  her  music.....She  is 81  and still has a very strong  voice......such a  beautiful lady!
 More tag art/   These are going to Canada  next week......maybe  I should put  some lil feet on these  guys  LOL
 What  small pieces  were  left  over of the  floral shallenge  I  created a few  magnets
Art quilt in the making!


Well that sums up my week here........Blessings to all......Can't  wait to see what ever one  else  is  doing!

  1. Wow, big update! What fun to have special people visit, and to see Loretta Lynn, cannot believe she is over 80! I love your floral ATCs and the bird collage is a conversation piece. But my favorite of all is your art quilt in progress. All those curves and circles look hard. Lovely!

  2. Wow! Newsy post! That is really special that your foreign exchange student came back to visit all the way from Sweden!! I like all the ATC cards and the beginning of the wavy quilt. I'm so glad you stopped by my blog! I've missed you. My health hasn't been the greatest this year so far and I am mostly trying to keep up with blogs directly. (I wish you had the "follow by email" gadget, because then I wouldn't miss any of your posts anymore.) I hope you're having a great week. Stay dry!! :)
