ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
I BELONG TO A GREAT GROUP OF WOMEN.
OUR LEADERS:
DEBBIE AND WENDY
THEY CREATED
"THE BLISSFUL ATC SWAP!"
YOU CAN CLICK ON THEIR BUTTON ON MY
RIGHT SIDE BAR.
EACH MONTH WE ARE GIVEN A NEW
ATC SWAP PARTNER
WITH A NEW THEME.
OUR THEME FOR THIS MONTH WAS
"ORANGE!"
MY SWAP PARTNER IS
DeeDee
HER BLOG IS:
YOU CAN READ BRIEFLY INTO THE POSTS OF HER
BLOG AND THERE IS NOTHING THIS LADY CANNOT DO
FROM STAIN GLASS TO MAKING TAGS.
WE EXCHANGED ADDRESSES AND WE SPENT FROM
SUNDAY AUGUST 1, 2010 UNTIL OUR FINAL PLANS
TUESDAY NIGHT DECIDING WHERE WE WERE GOING
TO MEET.
YOU SEE DeeDee WAS LEAVING ON VACATION AND
DRIVING THROUGH THIS GREAT STATE OF OKLAHOMA.
WE WERE GOING TO EXCHANGE OUR CARDS IN
PERSON AND WE WERE BOTH EXCITED.
I WAS IN SEARCH OF AN ORANGE HOUSE FOR
US TO MEET AT.....WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN.....
WHAT WOULD BE THE ODDS....
A BLUE HOUSE
I'M LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW IN SEARCH OF
AN ORANGE HOUSE.
A YELLOW HOUSE
A PURPLE HOUSE.
WAHHHHHHH! I SO WANTED TO FIND AN
ORANGE HOUSE. IT WOULD BE SO PERFECT.
WELL, I'LL CLICK MY BLACK OKLAHOMA
FLIP FLOPS THREE TIMES AND WHINE FOR
AN ORANGE HOUSE......
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
WE HAD NO IDEA WHEN WE TOLD DeeDee
WHERE WE WOULD MEET HER OFF OF I-35
THERE WOULD BE THE SWEETEST LITTLE
PLAY HOUSES...ONE IN THE COLOR ORANGE.
I WANT ONE FOR MYSELF. YOU COULD MAKE
LITTLE WINDOW BOXES FOR THE WINDOWS AND
OH...YES! THEY REALLY ARE BUILT CROOKED......
YOU MAY USE THE PICTURES OF MY LITTLE
HOUSES FOR ANY OF YOUR PROJECTS. I MUST
NOTE THAT THERE ARE STRANGERS THAT COME TO
THIS BLOG THAT YOU AND I DON'T KNOW SO I MUST
SAY, THESE ARE NOT...I REPEAT NOT TO BE USED ON
PORN SITES OF ANY KIND. YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED
AT THE PORN SITES THAT ATTACK CHRISTIAN BLOGS.
THESE ARE TWO BEAUTIFUL DIVA'S HOLDING
UP OUR ATC CARDS.
DeeDee IS THE TALL ONE...I AM THE SHORT ONE.
DeeDee TRAVELED WITH TWO PRECIOUS COMPANIONS.
1 SPECIAL NEEDS MINI POM THAT HAD THE MOST
TRAGIC LIFE, PRIOR TO HER ADOPTING HIM AND
HER OTHER TWO YEAR OLD POMERANIAN WHO WAS
RESCUED BY HER.
DeeDee WILL BE ON VACATION FOR AWHILE
AND SHE ALREADY HAS POSTS SCHEDULED
FOR EVERY DAY BUT GAVE ME PERMISSION TO
POST OUR PICTURES AND CARDS.
BUT...WHAT IS IN THE PINK SACK SHE GAVE
ME WILL BE SAVED FOR PINK SATURDAY.
THIS ATC IS BEAUTIFUL. THE BUTTERFLY
IS IN SOFT SHADES OF ORANGE WITH TOUCHES
OF BEAUTIFUL GLITTER.
SHE HAD NO IDEA THE DEPTHS OF THE "NEW"
MOTTO OF MY LIFE BUT THEN MAYBE SHE REALLY
DOES....
"A LIFE RENEWED"
HER DAD AND MOTHER DIED WITHIN A YEAR OF
EACH OTHER AND IT JUST ABOUT KILLED HER
SPIRIT.
THIS IS THE ATC I MADE FOR DeeDee.
IT SAYS,
"ORANGE" WILL NEVER BE THE NEW PINK.
IT IS THE SECOND ATC I HAVE MADE.
I USED A VINTAGE PLAYING CARD I HAD.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME AND DeeDee IN
OUR ATC EXCHANGE.
DeeDee, I SO ENJOYED MEETING YOU. SO SORRY ABOUT
THE 110 DEGREE TEMP. NO ONE COULD TELL WE WERE
SWEATING BUCKETS OF FLUID. I LOOK FORWARD TO
OUR NEXT VISIT. I AM THINKING OF A GOOD PLACE...
A COOL PLACE...TEMP THAT IS.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME FOR THIS SPECIAL
MEMORY. I LOVE TO SHARE THINGS WITH
EACH OF YOU AND IT BRINGS ME SUCH JOY
WHEN YOU STOP BY FOR A VISIT.
HAVE A LOVELY DAY FULL OF SUNSHINE.
SIMPLY DEBBIE

Because of a previous posting you did I too joined this group of wonderful ladies to trade ATC's with. This will be my first ever time in making one and since we (my partner and I) have not yet mailed ours I can't show you my first attempt at this. Thank you for the encourgement to try new things...you my new friend are a true inspiration...even if you didn't know it! big hugs Beth
Dear Debbie, it is so wonderful that you got to meet your friend and the orange house! I bet you are having fun with the ATC swap.

Debbie, that was a lot of fun, actually getting to swap cards in person. Both of your cards have so mucy detail.
Am I the only one out here that is asking, "How do they do that?"
I need basic arts 101...no the course before that!
and an orange house...now, I know not everyone can do that!
Oh you guys are wonderful that's why Debbie and I started this so we could share and met and you two did it I love it.Thank you for sharing your met up with us...I hope it is the start of many more. so if you are ever near me let me know....hugs Wendy.
Just wanted to stop by & thank you for following my blog (I'm following you now, too)...never imagined that you'd be blogging about our DeeDee. She's been an online friend of mine for just over 3yrs now. She IS a very sweet lady & I hope to be lucky enough to meet her in person someday!
♥hugs♥
Very great cards you both made! It is also super cool that you all got to meet in person!
I've finished my ATC and will be sending to my swap partner, Anna. Orange was a HARD theme!

Hello Debbie,
What adorable little houses and I love the photo of you and your friend :-)
Thanks for visiting me and reminding me about being able to get Gizzy's meds at the pharmacy. I don't have a car and live a long ways from a Wal Mart, but my local Pharmacy extends me the same deals as Wal Mart, so I'll call WalMart to see how much Gizzy's meds would be and ask if I can have them for the same price here in town.
Have a wonderful week :-)
Doris and Gizzy :-)
You have a lovely blog Debbie
I think you did a great job on your ATC. I hope you will join me in a swap someday.
Sorry to hear about the lose of your daughter. That has got to be so hard.
God Bless You
Patti
What a fun swap, and to meet in person. That Dee Dee is so talented and such a sweetie! Who woulda thunk you could find an orange playhouse? :) Best wishes, Tammy
