Thankful Thursday

It has been a hectic few weeks and I have overdone things a bit. My feet gor drenched yesterday in Oxford and I have a sore throat, and a sore chest and am feeling pretty rough.
The time has come for me to look closely at how much I am doing, and perhaps to cut back on some of my posting.
I know you will all understand as some of you have experienced this at one time or another.


The postman has had another very busy week putting all your wonderful art through my letter box.
Here is my ATC card (B) from Marianne. Isn't it wonderful?
And look at this amazing mandala that accompanied my card. The rooster is mine that I showed to Marianne. Isn't she just such a special lady?
Here is the abstract art that Babs sent me in exchange for my 'wild woman' header that she requested. Fantastic Babs.
Along with it, came this gorgoues 'pinkie' ATC card set, from Babs.
Here is Teri's ATC cactus set. Chief, they are fantastic.
WOW, Lynn, these fabric cards are marvellous.
And, last but not least, look at what arrived from Lisa. Love da froggie too, thanks.
They all look so much better than what I saw on your blogs.
I will treasure them always.
Thanks a million.
Yours are all in the post in return.
I am so very grateful and honoured to have you all as my friends.

So sorry you are not feeling well. Please DO take care of your self. Cut back on blogging...you have so many blogs...come on less often perhaps...we need your energy for the sketchbooks now!!! Be gentle with yourself. (And I gave you the fabric ATCs not Mim...but it's okay...happy to be confused with such a wonderful artist! ;~)

I am looking forward to receiving your first page of your sketchbook you said you finished in art class! Can't wait. I finished my cover and am starting my first page NOW!

Handsome Daddy for Sweet Maggie Rae! Take care please. We need you well.

Mim said...

I had a tiny little feeling that you were burning the candle at both ends. SLOOOWWW down - and yes,...it was Lynn with the fabric ATC's - like I could sew that well!! Gonna email you about fedex, got an account set up and hope you are enjoying the watercolor paper.

Be good and get well, miss maggie needs her grandie well and happy

All are such lovely ATCs. I could tell Lynn's ATCs right away. Do take care. You do so much in the way of blogging. I understand the need to take a bit of time off from some things.

Happy Thursday, my friend. Take care of yourself. Snuggle up with your doggy and get better.

I'm experiencing the same thing SB, just because life has gotten so hectic lately. Probably because of the end-of-the-school-year and all that. I'm playing blog catch-up right now. :)

I do enjoy being able to stop by here though. And oh my goodness...do I ever love that Maggie & Daddy photo. Precious!

Wonderful art you have there!
I recognized Lynn's straight away so , Mim and Lynn sounds abit the same and I once made that mistake too!
I got a load of wonderful things as well, we are lucky in that way!
Now you must do something different now, all these signs from your body are not to be ignored! Start to take good care of yourself now! Cit down on things, let the day have 24 instead of 48 hours!


Alsjeblieft zorg goed voor jezelf, blog wat minder, rust goed uit en eet gezond! En wordt weer snel de "ouwe"!!!!

Veel liefs en wfs! en helende gedachten stuur ik jouw kant op!

studio lolo said...

It's funny how tuned into you I am. I saw this coming. You give 200% of yourself all the time and it's bound to catch up with you. We'd rather have 50% of you if that's all you can give rather than have nothing of you.
Do what you can and only what you can.
Love you tons!! Be there for yourself, others second.
xoxoxo

Sorry you're under the weather. Here the weather is definitely something to make you be under---rain, cold....ick.

But what lovely artwork to cheer you up!!!

Jude said...

Oh dear, I love reading your blog and have often wondered how you fit it all in, especially with Maggie on the scene now AND working!!!
I hope you feel much better very very soon.
Chill!!
Take care
