ART~ Receiving, Creating, Mailing~ Love it all!

This sweet little trio arrived

in the mail over the weekend.

I'd participated in my first

Altered Art Ladies ATC swap

a few weeks ago.  It's been

such a fun experience. 

Steph did an exemplary job

hosting and I'm very grateful to her. 

She plans on hosting some more swaps

periodically during the year

if you'd like to check out her

inspiring blog here. 

I finished another skull

painting over the weekend. 

It gave my mind a bit of rest

after finishing my skyline paintings. 

Speaking of my skyline paintings,

I sold both of them! 

Thanking the Lord

for that blessing! 

If you'd like to see what

they looked like while they

were still works in progress,

you can see them here. 

My husband and I spent 

some time this weekend getting

them all protected and packaged

up for delivery to their new home

in Chicago. 

I was born in Chicago (as were my parents), 

and spent the first 21 years of my life there. 

It'll always have a special place in my heart. 

That's why I called them "Sweet Home Chicago". 

Hoping you have a wonderful week!
