Grateful Thursday!

I'm always grateful on Thursday because I do not work on Friday! So I am looking forward to a good weekend again! I'm also grateful to my friends, this time Mim, who sent me this creative ABC ATC for the letter "U" for Urban. I also liked the card and envelop she sent with the big green turtle peeking out at me. This folded ATC opens up to show a much longer card inside: Thanks Mim! Love all your folded ATCs.
I also got this treasure of fabrics from Lorna of Artymess here.
She had posted on her blog that her eight yr old daughter Ruby wished to trade artists cards
so I quickly produced one to trade with her and earlier this week got this sweet note in the mail
with this very clever and sweetly made Artist Trading Card!
Thank you Ruby and Lorna!
I do love this butterfly card and delight in the very
attractive fabric swatches you have sent me.
I am sure I will find some way of working them into a creation. &&&&&&&
House Renovation Update
1. A friend recommended the painter who painter the interior of her home. I called and set up an appointment for this Friday for an estimate!
2. I called a Blinds Cleaner who will come and take down my 9 window blinds from all over the house, take them away and clean them and bring them back and hang them the very same day!
(will synchronize this to happen when we get painted)
They have not been cleaned in 22 yrs I suppose I should be ashamed to admit. Better late than never. We are going to shine!
3. Drawers continue to be emptied; boxes continue to be filled.
I am so grateful that I can finally afford to do all this, and
that I took the plunge and am
making it happen!
And it's not as hard as I thought it would be!
What a wonderful gift to myself! &&&&&&&&&&&&
I am up to 82 votes for the swan quilt contest here.
Last day to vote is June 28th.
I appreciate every vote my quilt Nest Building
has received. I have no idea who has voted in the past
few days, but let me say thank you very very much!
;-)
I am ever so grateful!
