Taking some time off...

Dear blogging friends!

Isn't it interesting the way life throws you curve balls?

I've been facing a very slow curve ball for the past several months, which has escalated to a fast ball. This will be my second to the last post for a while, I have one scheduled for next week and that will be it.

So, here are the final card fronts I made for Diana. I absolutely loved this dp which I purchased at my local LSS and am delighted with the way the card turned out.

I only took one picture!! GASP! I can't believe it!!!!! So as sitting here is a struggle I'll just make this short.

Here ya go...



I also made this little note book for her. I'm having so much fun doing the grass and sky. I like the way this one turned out....


A closer look at Tilda...


And the ever present cock-eyed view....



Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement and lovely comments over the years. It may be quite a while before I can blog again, I'm really hoping sooner than later.

Blessings and hugs,

Barb
