Thank you, Melinda!
This special gift arrived yesterday...
From a sweet blogger/Etsy friend...
I LOVE snails!
I LOVE sweet surprises!
Her kind note included a beautiful quote:
"Those who bring sunshine
to the lives of others
can not keep it from themselves"
James Matthew Barrie
You did just that, Melinda~
Brought sunshine to me & my studio!
It is rare for us to receive anything in the mail in perfect condition...
My sweet snail has a little boo boo chip~
So the beautiful touch of the tropics has been re-potted...
"Smiley" the snail has a new purpose~
Just as Melinda planned!
"Smiley" is the perfect name!
See the sweet smile? A bright blue flower kiss, too~
Nita Jo! from Little Grey Gardens, you won!
So sorry for the delay on selecting my Giveaway winner!
I sheared one of my teeth in half~
My dentist told me to stop eating rocks... because...
I have three broken teeth!
Two crowns and one temp. filling~ still in process... ugh.
My bottom is in the shape of a dentist chair!
That's where I have been...
When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer
there were a lot of emergency trips out of town to help her.
Dentist appointments were continually cancelled...
Physicals cancelled...
Weight gained from eating on the road...
I do not regret helping~
I do regret four years of missed appointments & self care.
Hubby, children, mom, pets and home came first.
I knew I would eventually play catch up...
Be kind to yourself, Sweet Friends.
Take care of you~ so that you can be your best for
Everyone you care for!
Hope your Friday is off to a great start!

Melinda is definitely a sweetie . . . how kind of her to send such an 'uplifting' gift! I definitely think 'Smiley' is the perfect name :o) I think the colored pencils look adorable in his little shell.
Even though we've missed you, we definitely prefer you take care of yourself!
Blessing and smiles,

Smiley is such a sweet little fellow. So sorry about your seemingly taking up residence in the dental chair - not a happy place to be!
Congratulations to the winner!!!
Very sorry to hear of your dental issues but so very thankful you are finally able to take care of YOU! I always adore your sweet and original drawings. My little pink dress with the adorable mouse you drew is a smile for me every time I look at it...daily. Blessings to you dear...
I just wanted to say a big "Thank you" for the beautiful linen, the buttons, and your gorgeous artwork! I love acorns! The giant oak tree at the home I grew up in, was a favorite retreat of mine.
I hope all is well with your teeth. I do know about postponing self-care, when life gets in the way.
I want to apologize for the delay in this "thank you" message. We're still dealing with the loss of my father-in-law. There's much to be done in the coming weeks with the family home, but we're getting there.
I will treasure this lovely piece of your artwork! Thank you, thank you!
