ATC from Christy Laudig

Well I promised you a pic from Christy Laudigs ATC that I won from her blog, link previous post, so here it is. Isnt it lovely. Brrrrrrrrr from a very warm Melbourne.

So again Thank you to Christy for sharing her artwork. She says the image is of her father and his brother circa 1940's, plus Artchix images.

AND THE WINNER IS

ME, ME, ME, I entered into the discussion on Barbs blog where she had put a challenge on for people to comment about why some people don't comment on some blogs that they visit. Barb had been on a blog JESSICA WESOLEK and she had an article about GIVING BACK, it made very interesting reading, and we all had to comment on it to go in the lottery to win this
ATC from Barb. I had coveted it anyway, so am very pleased that it was MY turn to win something. Thank you Eliza
for the heads up to go look and see who comment number three was.


FINDINGS
Today during our walk with the dog (Zaccy) I came across this tree that had gorgeous bark on it and I couldnt resist bringing some home to scan and use as backgrounds.

So, for my Kiwi friends you might see it on a background (paper) as it would be confiscated at customs, the Aussies probably think I'm loopy, but hey I liked it. I think its paperbark???

The ATCMixed Media Yahoo group run by Eliza and Lucy had a Tryptich Arch swap for last month and I offered to fill the gap and do two. Here is one of them that has been posted and Sandra can peek or not :-)
The second one I will load when it is finished and posted, probably tomorrow.

My First Blog Award

I was awarded a few days ago by my lovely Wagga friend Barb a Friendship award.
Apparently I have to pass it on and am supposed to award this onto 5 other deserving people,so I shall do my best to do so, but note that all I have certainly classed as friends someone beat me to it, not that the following are second best I might add :-)

For those of you that receive the award,these are the guidelines that came with the badge:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these kind writers."

The following ladies are friends, mostly new from from the retreat, all talented artists..all ladies that I count myself lucky to have come across on my road of life....

I present this award to you lovely people.

Margaret Weiss
Liz Mackie
Dawn Thomas
Keron Lee
Kirsty Campion

It was lovely to meet you all at the retreat and hope we meet again at 2010's
