Thank You for Pretty Packages

Not too much running around for art class this week. Just used the fabric from last week, but the reverse side, a pot with a birds nest and greenery and a simple bottle from the studio. I can hardly believe it's been a year and a half that Ive been painting at the studio. So here's my painting for Paint Party Friday. This is a wonderful site where you  can see so many artists  with different styles and subject matter. Go on over and join in the fun.



This weeks Painting

It's been a wonderful week for mail with lots of pretty packages arriving. I just had to share them with you. From  dearest Donna, a generous and amazing gift of gorgeous ribbons and glitter from sunny Mexico. There was also a beautiful tag too. You can tell she really knows my  love for all things glittery.  From sweet Lisa, my tea sister, a beautiful hand made tea house complete with hand packaged teas from around the world.  She too sent a pretty  card with a butterfly. From  lovely Lynne, some shimmering ribbons, a gorgeous card and stunning canvas with Bathing Belles. The ocean is  my favorite theme and I will cherish these always. Finally, my Bookmark swap from Gingersnap Creations yahoo Group. Bring a big reader, you know I will use them and when not being used will be up on my inspiration-swap board. Oohh...It's been a wonderful week for postal packages!

So I hope you receive wonderful gifts of every kind this week.
yours truly , gerri
