I created these for this swap (and a couple extra) while we were away in Canada. There were a couple of stormy, rainy days that made it a good day to sit at the table, gaze at the river & do artwork. We had a wonderful vacation, and used the good sunny days for lots of boating & sailing on the river. Because we were away, and then I lost my hard drive, it feels like forever since I have posted anything here on the swaps blog. I have some catching up to do too. I have also received ATCs from Melissa Woolsey, Victoria Talcott Wormell, Cat Dodt-Ellis, Susan Metcalfe and Maggie Hannigan -- as well as a package of 20 beautiful Circle Book pages from Frieda Oxenham in Scotland!! Tomorrow I will get out my camera & share them with you.
While I was on Wolfe Island, one of the Thousand islands (the largest one) I had a special treat of meeting one of our swap participants in person and receiving her Garden ATCs - HAND DELIVERED to me! Maggie Hannigan was across the river in Kingston, Ontario for a surface design course at one of the colleges and made arrangements to meet with me the last night of our vacation. She took the ferry over, we had a lovely visit and Steven took some photos of us and Maggies ATCs. I will take some close up shots tomorrow & share them with you soon!
Just wish I could have handed my circle pages over to you in person too, Lenna. That would be so much FUN!! So pleased to know they are now safely with you. Glad to see you have a great holiday, but sorry about your computer. And yes, I regularly back up my computer to a separate hard drive as I would simply be totally lost without all that info. Just wish I had a comp. wizard like you but mine speciallizes in building pergolas!
ReplyDeleteWell, a pergola wizard sounds great to me, and just right for your lovely gardens : )) I am simply so grateful that Steven has been backing my computer info up so well that it's only been a little bit of a nuisance to get everything back on a new hard drive, phew! I must go visit your blog Frieda and see what I have missed in the last week or two. Your circles pages that arrived are SO lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was a true joy & pleasure to meet Lenna & Steve. They have a wonderful spot on Wolfe Island. Lenna is as sweet in person as she is online!
