  4. My precious friend, I just saw your message on my writing blog! Yes, the weekend is almost here and I can't wait. I just finished a book for the sweet Dutchess, I am working on for Patricia,and now I thinking of writing a story about......YOU. I am excited about making an altered book so I am going to the Minneapolis Books Arts Asssociation to get some fun paper and supplies so that I can do my art. Your angel here is the most beautiful of all....I so love her eyes! Like my Auntie Thelma's eyes. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

    Thank you again dear friend...we can jump back and forth this weekend on Nowhere. I hope you are feeling better!

  6. Dearest Penny!

    I finally got home after a long day; Ruben took me out to eat and we had a wonderful time! I am not going to work on my post. I had a totally different idea planned, but if I can find the right music that I have in my mind, I will be posting on a sweet angel that I know....

  14. Dear Christel

    First I must thank you again for honoring me with this award.. You my dear, are such an inspiration.. Your work is magical and I love to visit your studio to see what you have created...
    Thank you so much for the compliment on her eyes... When I paint, I usually block in the sking tone and go straight to the eyes. I finish them before I go any further, as this gives me the feeling for the painting.. I am so happy to hear that you feel I have improved.
    Have a wonderful day Christel
    Love and blessings

  19. YEAH! I await Monday with more spunk now that I will be meeting my little pink friend in Nowhere! And you visited my mini theatre! Hamlet is practicing his lines with William Shatner as I am sure you heard; he will make a splash on opening night! Maybe not a BIG a splash...he only weights a tad bit more than a feather!

    Happy Sunday, Anita

  20. My Dear Sweet Friend Penny...
    Oh my goodness, Callia is absolutely beautiful. She has the most intriquing eyes that I have ever seen. She talks without words, and loves without touching. Oh my how very beautiful she is. You have really outdone yourself this time. Only an angel could know the detail of an angel such as what you have painted. I now know for sure, yes Dear Penny, you are a true angel indeed.

    I am so thrilled that you popped by and saw my little mice. They were for you. I knew you would come, and they would make you smile. I cannot tell you what you friendship has meant to me. You are adorable and so are your little friends you create. What a true gift from God you have. Such talent with your hands. I love it that you share with me each and every day.

    Have a beautiful Sunday sweetie. Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

  29. Penny my sweet,

    Thank you for coming by to say good night! We had quite a fun weekend and I had to force myself to get to bed! We tried watching the Academy Awards, but I just had to go to sleep! I wanted to draw for Nowhere this weekend, but Ruben had broken his glasses on Saturday night and we had to go out yesterday to find him a new pair, QUICKLY! I did however, take my sketch book and was practicing my RATS! I am determined to get those two tea drinkers down soon!

    Smiles and hugs and well-wishes to you for a lovely day. Hey, we are experiencing warmth here; quite odd for Minnesota!

    Bisous my dear friend, Anita
