Hia Judy, nice to see you, and man have you been busy, love that flower card, and the collages. Hope the "summer! and i use that term loosely, is treating you well.

I was about to say how much I loved the little birds, and the vessel and if course my beautiful embroidered poppies... but it's far easier to say I love everything. Beautiful work as ever!

Gina said...

Forgot to say enjoy your summer school. I had one day with Jan and Jean and it was amazing. Lucky you to be spending four days.

What a beautiful post Judy. Full of your special art. And full of photo's of the beautiful art you have made for friends.

I adore my judrops doll and will always treasure her. I showed her to my friend Jacky on the weekend and she fell in love with her too.
And you made me feel, very , VERY loved (you darling woman you).

The card you made for is stunning (am framing it).

I love everything you have made. The vessell is incredible. The poppy postcard for Gina is lovely (you are so thoughtful). Your birds are delightful.

Enjoy your course - it sounds like you are really looking forward to it.

A big yay for your upcoming trip to Australia. Not long to go now.

Oh , how I wish I could fly up to Brisbane to meet you in person when you are in Australia!

Much love dear friend
