This is the beautiful card my ATC
Partner sent me this month to thank me for
being her ATC Partner. I was thrilled to be
her partner.
THANK YOU BLANCHE!!!!
*******
I participate in the monthly
BLISSFULL ATC SWAP.
Ms. Wendy at
is our beautiful hostess and creator.
If you would like to participate you may
e mail her at
Each month is a different theme and a
different swap partner.
*******
The Theme this month is
STEAM PUNK.
You can bet Google had a flurry of
activity for information and images on
STEAM PUNK.

My ATC Partner this month is the
lovely Ms. Blanche.
She is just one of the sweetest ladies you
will ever meet and oozes in creativity.
She loves the Victorian Era as much as I do.
Her blog is
She makes beautiful jewelry...much of which is
auctioned off for worthy causes.
This is her stunning Steam Punk
ATC titled
WANDER-LUST!
I had never heard that word before.
You can read the the definition on the card.
I LIKE IT....

Thank You Ms. Blanche!!!
I will treasure it forever.
Blanche included a list of every thing
she used to make her card but I did not
list them.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH BLANCHE
FOR BEING MY ATC PARTNER AND FOR
THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CHARM.
I will see you in Washington.....
Thanks to Google Maps...
Thank you for asking me to travel a long
with you and your husband.
I will continue to pray for a safe and
joyful trip.
This is the thank you card I made for
Blanche.
I wanted to make her something special for
being my ATC partner this month.
On the side bar of her blog, it tells the
name of her fairy:
"FIELD WILLOWGLITTER!"
She lives in fields where wild flowers
and poppies grow.
She is seen only in the light of a
shooting star.
She likes to wear red petals in her
skirt.
She has delicate green colored wings.
I tried to recreate her using this beautiful
graphic. Then I cut and pasted poppies
all around the image....I tried to make it
like you were peaking through the field of
poppies and wildflowers and up in the left
corner I made a shooting star out of
Fairy Dust.
I made a pocket for the ATC. I made
accordion pleats on the side to allow room
for the gadgets I applied on the ATC.
I used various parts of a pocket watch
I had been saving.
I named my ATC:
"THE WHEELS OF TIME!"
Can you imagine riding this to the
grocery store or thrift shop....lol
This is just a close up of the ATC
holder without the card in it.
Thank you for spending a part of your
Saturday with me. It makes me so happy that you
care enough to stop by. YOU ARE SPECIAL.
I went to the Dr. for my three month check up
on Thursday. I have had a severe cough due to
ALLERGIES....(LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE)...
and since I am one of his fragile diabetics,
I was given an injection of prednisone...oh
my goodness, even given slow, it BURNS like
frog legs in a skillet...ouchhhhh.
PRAYERS CONTINUE TO BE LIFTED UP
TO GOD'S THRONE ROOM OF MERCY AND
GRACE FOR EVERYONE IN NEED.

THE LORD HATH HEARD MY SUPPLICATION,
THE LORD WILL RECEIVE MY PRAYER.

Oh my word.. I love ALL the cards shown here Debbie! Loved your little fairy card! I had a tough time with Steampunk this round, but I survived it, and just hope my swap partner likes it. I am just about finished with my Wizard of Oz minialbum (I keep adding little touches), so the next step is to try the video feature on my camera; and THEN I'm also starting some Spring TP Roll mini-albums, for the holiday and for a swap I'm in. Busy, all-in-all, but lots of fun! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! ((hugs)) ~tina
Debbie,
Both of you all did an outstanding job with all the cards! I had never done anything steam punk before this swap...it was sure fun. I think the possibilities are just endless aren't they?
Again, great job!
Have a great weekend.

Hi Debbie
Great ATCs. Always love to see Steampunk creations even though I've not made any Steampunk for a wee while.

Morning Debbie-
This is just so super fun and cute. Glad you got something in the mail that made your day. I know I it makes me grin all day when I get something from one of my blogging friends.
Hugs- Tete
HI DEBBIE,
I LOVE ALL THE CARDS THAT WERE MADE. THEY ARE REALLY SUPER, A LOT OF THOUGHT AND WORK PUT INTO THEM, AND A LOT OF LOVE.
TAKE CARE, HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND. RIZZI
What unique and beautiful cards! Happy Pink Saturday!

HI DEBBIE, I LIKED DOING THE STEAM PUNK CARD ALSO. IT WAS A BRAND NEW TERM TO ME, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, PLENTY ABOUT IT ON THE WEB. SO PRETTY NEAT ONES YOU HAVE HERE. BLANCHE WAS MY SWAP PARTNER ONCE. SHE IS VERY CREATIVE.

Hello Debbie, Your cards are so pretty! You had asked about my weeping cherry tree, no it does not bear fruit. Most people keep the cut like an umbrella, mine needs trimming up. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment.
I wish you peace! Shirl

Very cool cards, especially the old fashioned couple and bicycle. I just don't have that type of creativity to even begin making something so special!
I hope the cortisone shot gets you over the hump. When I've had them in the past they've certainly helped me. I'm on prednisone (oral) right now--currently tapered down to a low dose which I'll be on for another couple of months.
Hugs from Heidi
what a precious msg u left me...thank u! it made me feel so much better...i consider myself having been hugged! :)
Oh Debbie, so many lovely cards. The work is just beautiful.
Thank you for visiting me today. It's a shame what happened to the Pastor. People can be so terrible and the things they think of to make money just makes my head spin. It happens all over the world, all the insurance scams. I don't know why humanity has to become like this. I am afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better. Tough times ahead for all. You have to be very careful when you go anywhere, watch what is around you and be aware. Mexico has so many beautiful and wonderful, friendly people, just like the states, but also just like the states, there are some rotten apples.
It's been a long time since I last visited you. There is no reason other than keeping busy with family and website.
I hope you and your family are well. I think of you often and wonder how your hearts are doing. Be well sweet one and keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to us all, Char
Whoops! my bad!
