THIS WEEK'S ATC DRAWING


Remember picking up shells and holding them close to your ear and really believing you were hearing the soothing sound of water?

A few years later you then lost the innocence for a time. Coming full circle I'm not so sure the magic is not, in fact, embedded within the mystery of the shell regardless of science and book smarts.


If you believe it's so, isn't that enough?

This is my ATC gift of the week.

It is truly a gift not only to the name pulled on Sunday next, 
it is a gift to me. 

I am meeting some kindred spirits 
which allow everyone else who visits 
another magical door to open, 
another blog, another arttist, 
another adventure. 

The gift comes full circle.

Say hello and leave your blog address or e-mail, and let simple fate take over.

Bonne Chance!

Hi Rella!

I don't know how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did. Not only is your artwork beautiful, but I don't know that I've ever come across anyone else who puts potato chips on sandwiches! Yes, I grew up eating bologna, potato chips, and ketchup on white bread. Is there anything in there that is good for you?

I'll be back often,
Diane Duda

The soothing sound of the ocean forever capture in a conch shell, waiting patiently until it is discovered by you.

What a beautiful card. I'm so happy I stumbled onto your blog. It's not in my favorites.

Happy Tuesday!

okay. =^..^=
I admit to being captivated too.

After seeing her last night, this little girl has
begun to talk to me in my dreams.

I dreamt of her last night sitting in the little
bowl of sand and shells softly lit by the beeswax
candle that sits there atop the tiny beach ... The
flame flickering in the dim light of the waters edge
... Waiting for her to appear.

I guess it is a sign for me to speak and say ...
Will you place my name into the drawing too?

I shall await,
Eyes scrunched tight
.::wishing::hoping::.

=^..^= love, zU
