"MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE BLUE FRAME!" said Claudia

Today  is 
PINK  SATURDAY!!!


and  in  Honor  of  St.  Patrick's  Day

we  may  add  the  color  GREEN

beside  our  color  PINK.

Ms.  Beverly  is  the  creator  and  hostess

of  this  day  of  pink  fun.


The  rabbit  with  the  pink

nose  is  the  mascot  for

the  BLISSFULL  ATC  SWAP,

created  by  Wendy,  the

founder  and  hostess.


I  am  combining  both  activities

for  this  special  Saturday,  FOR  WITH

OUT  the  HELP  OF  CLAUDIA,  WHO

TOLD  ME  TO  MAKE  SURE  I

WAS  CLICKING  THE

BLUE  FRAME  AROUND

THE  PICTURE...

THERE  WOULD  NOT  BE

ANY  PICTURES  TO  SEE

AND  HAVE  NOT  BEEN

FOR

2  WEEKS!!

CLAUDIA  AND

EVERYONE  WHO

ANSWERED  MY

...SCREAM...

FOR  HELP

WITH

LOVING  KINDNESS

YOU  SHALL  NOT

BE  FORGOTTEN.



Each  month,  those  who  participate  in

the  BLISSFULL  ATC  SWAP   HAVE

A  THEME  FROM  WHICH  TO  MAKE

THEIR  CARD.

This  month  Wendy  did  the  theme  a  little

different  and  I  LOVED  IT.

She  gave  us  the  graphic  below  and  we

were  instructed  we  could  use  all  of

it  or  part  of  it  in  our

ATC. 


Who  would  have  ever  thought  that  a

8.9  earth quake  would  have  hit  Japan

and  a  tsumani  would  have  destroyed  so  much

and  a  1,000  plus  people  missing,  500  plus  dead

and  a  Nuclear  Explosion  which  could  release  a

large  amount  of  radioactivity.  Japan  needs  many

prayers  right  now.



Our  camera  does  not  show  the  beauty  of

Wendy's  ATC  SHE  sent  me.  It  was

STUNNING  and  the  colors  so  gorgeous.

She  sewed  the  ATC  and  the  gorgeous

envelope. 

The  envelope  was  tied  shut  with  the  most

beautiful  piece  of  silk.

The  camera  just  did  not  compliment  her

beautiful  card,  so  we  scanned  the  ATC.


This  is  the  front  of  the  ATC.

It  is  sewn  in  silk...if  you  look  all  around

the  picture  of  the  beautiful  lady,  you

will  see  Wendy's  name...the  month  and

year.



This  is  the  back  of  her  card.

It  is  covered  in  tulle  with  all  kinds  of

little  surprises  sewn  inside.

THANK  YOU  WENDY.

I  LOVE  IT.

YOU  DID  A  STUNNING  JOB.


NOW  FOR  MY  ATC.........

UPDATE:  MY  ATC  I  SENT  WENDY  FROM

HER  BLOG.  WENDY  PHOTOGRAPHED

IT  ON  A  BACKGROUND  THAT  COMPLIMENTED

THE  COLORS  I  USED.

I  WAS  IN  A  HURRY  TO  GET  IT

MAILED  A  LONG  WITH  12  OTHER

CARDS  AND  I  DIDN'T  TAKE  A

PICTURE.  I  REALLY  LIKED  HOW  IT

TURNED  OUT  AND  IF  YOU  WANT  TO

SEE  IT,  YOU  MAY  GO  TO




and  keep  you  in  HIS  loving  arms  until

we  blog  again.

You  are  very  special  and  thank  you  all

for  your  loving  help  and  thoughts  today.

IT  MEANS  EVERYTHING  TO  ME.


IF  YOU  HAVE  NOT  NOTICED,  I  HAVE

A  BLOG  BUTTON  AT  THE  TOP  OF  MY

BLOG...PLEASE  FEEL  FREE  TO  GRAB  IT.

IT  WAS  MADE  BY  KAREN  VALENTINE...

AFTER  OBTAINING  PERMISSION  FROM

LULU  KELLOGG  WHO  MADE  MY  BANNER.

KAREN  IS  VERY  SWEET  AND  SO  PLEASANT

TO  WORK  WITH.


She  also  has  an  awesome  blog

So glad it all worked out, Debbie. My sister called me yesterday morning with the same problem! So I was all set to help you out, too.

The ATCs are beautiful. What gorgeous work you both did.

xoxo

I'm glad you're back in operation now. Love the ATC swaps. Both are beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend.

I have no idea what the blue frame is even...lol...but as long as I can post pictures I guess I won't worry about it too much.

Your cards are lovely...wonderful and so much fun. I'll bet they are even more fun to make than they are for us to look at. Hugs-Diana

Looks like you're posting pictures again, was I right??? Did you need to purchase more space?

Regina said...

Enjoy springtime.

I'm sorry I got to your call for help (on your last post) too late, but thank goodness you got all the advice you needed! It really scared me, too, when I downloaded the picasa thing and all my pics on my computer were imidiately uploaded.

I'm praying for Japan. I haven't watched the news, so I didn't know the nuclear plant blew. Those poor people! I have already heard some tasteless jokes about this tragedy by people who refer to themselves as Christians... it leaves my with a very heavy heart that someone could be so vicious.

On a brighter note, I'm having a giveaway. I know you would like what up for grabs, so please come over to enter! :)
