Mosaic Monday...

Hi, thanks so much for stopping in this Mosaic Monday. One of the Yahoo Groups that I belong to is Luner Dreams and we're having a "Getting to Know You ATC Swap". I can't show you mine yet because I haven't placed them in the mail and I don't want to ruin the surprise for everyone else, but as soon as I do I will post their pictures so yous can take a peek to. There's a total of 5 of us in that particular swap and I got one of mine in the mail yesterday from Jan. She also made me the most gorgeous card! I was so happy and so impressed by both! Thanks Jan! So here's what she sent me:

 This is the front of the card that Jan had made me. It's just gorgeous! She did a wonderful job on this! I only wish I would be able to do something as well as this! Trust me, this is beautiful!

 This is the ATC. I was amazed when I seen this, what awesome work!

 When I opened up the card this is what I saw:

 This is the back of the ATC:

If you go to Annie Howes Keepsakes Etsy Shop you can also purchase some of what Jan had used to make these gorgeous pieces that she sent me.

Now, here's 2 of my seven grandchildren. Jon, my oldest grandson  and Brandan my 3rd oldest grandson.

Then last but not least my new kid on the block, Bella. As cute and sweet as she looks...boy she's a handful! I sure mis-named her! lol

 I want to thank Mary at Little Red House for being our most gracious and very sweet hostess! If yous would be so kind to stop in at Mary's and say hi and then look at our friends here in Blogland mosaic pictures I'm sure that you'll love them as much as I do.

I also wanted to share something very special to me. My friend Joni from The EtsyBead Street Team and also at Bead-space lit a candle for me. If you would stop in at her Etsy
Shop you'll find her outstanding and gorgeous contemporary and traditional Native American Jewelry. She's a fabulous and beadartist and a wonderful friend! Joni is, Creek-Cherokee, a beadweaver, a jewelry designer and a silversmith. Joni is very talented and a wonderful person! Thank you so much Joni, this meant the world to me! You can also visit Joni at her blog, Trail of Treasures.

I have to tell yous that my heart is just filled with so much friendship and love. Everyone makes me feel so good and yous have all touched my heart in so many ways. I want to thank everyone for your tenderness, love, caring, prayers, friendship healing thoughts and positive energies. For all your cards, calls, gifts and genuine sisterly love! Yous all mean the world to me, thank you! It's wonderful to be a part of this great family!

Introducing my 7th grandchild and Mosaic Monday...

Sofia Breeze...this lil gorgeous baby was born this morning, June 13, 10 at 11:46 am at 8 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and 19 3/4's inches long. I'm happy and very proud to say that baby, daughter-n-law, son and entire family are doing fine! Maw-maw (that's me) am so tired you could breath heavy and it'd knock me over. lol
Yesterday we had a 7th year birthday party for my twin grand-daughters, Haley and Kaley. Then no sooner I was home and resting my son text me that Sofia was on her way so to the hospital my youngest son, Joel and myself went only meeting more family there. We waited, we paced, we laughed, we cried, some slept, we ate and grew impatient and then...there she was. I have to say that I'm so tickled and very proud! Introducing

Mosaic Monday...

Hi everyone and Happy Mosaic Monday to you. I still haven't felt like myself yet so I haven't been posting again all this week. I hope that yous are doing good! I made some mosaics for everyone to see today and I have a wonderful and very touching story behind some of them.
As yous all know I have bad kidneys and I'm in and out of the hospital more then I'm home with surgeries, infections, kidney failure, stones and the list goes on and on. Well, back in October I had become very ill (even though I've been sick all of my life) and am still fighting to get well and my dear friend, Beth from Bellesanbeaus Crafts had made arrangements with some friends and my Church to have a card go around the world and be signed from friends as far away as England, Canada, Netherlands and then all throughout the US! Then Beth had spoke to a good friend of mine from my Church, Jean Bly and she got together with my friends there and a wonderful woman made me a gorgeous card and they all signed it for me to. I've had such a wonderful response from everyone, people I know and don't know, people I've only spoke to on the computer and friends and family alike. I have to say that I'm so touched by everyone for all your prayers, love, gifts, cards...I'm speechless except to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I love all of yous...thank you! A very special thank you to you, Beth for thinking of me and doing all of this for me...I love you Sis!
So, here's the card that went all around the world:


Here's the card not in a mosaic:


Then here's the card that I had received from my Church:


Now for the beautiful card not made in the mosaic form:

Again, I want to thank all of you from the very bottom of my heart, yous don't know how much this means to me!
Also on this Mosaic Monday I want to share this mosaic picture of my wonderful, loving and so precious family:

I really enjoy making the mosaic pictures and then looking at all the wonderful mosaic pictures that everyone makes every week. But it's all thanks to Mary, at Little Red House. So, a big thank you to Mary for hosting this event! Also, if you would be so kind to visit Mary she'd love to have you, and while you're there to look at all the other mosaic pictures our friends here in Blogland have made, there's some beautiful and fascinating ones to for you to see!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a beadiful day! So...until the next time, Bead Happy!
Hugs and happy beading...

Expressions and Mosaic Monday...

I made another piece for the monthly challenge from, Art Bead Scene Blog. If you'd like to read about this months challenge please go here. It's about a lovely painting by Paul Klee, Insula Dulcamara. Also, if you would like to see this months entries please go here.
For this piece my good friend, Marie Segal from Art From My Heart made this beautiful cabochon. I found through Maire Segal's Artbead/Cab that the colors were rich and inviting as found in Klee's painting. Then, even though the colors I chose in this piece are a bolder expression then found in Klee's work, I still felt the connection between them. Thus, I'd like to introduce to you:

I would like to thank Mary from Little Red House for being our lovely hostess for all our Mosaic Monday's. I very much enjoy looking at all the beautiful mosaic pictures that our friends here in Blogland have made! If you would please to stop in at Mary's she'd love to have you! So this is for you Mary...Thank you so much!
This week I decided to try something a lil bit different for Mosaic Monday, I hope you enjoy what I've done.


I do want to apologize for not posting a lot this week, I haven't been feeling good and I had another surgery. I'm home but I've been resting. I hope to be back on track very soon!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and I hope that you have a beadiful day! So...until the next time, Bead Happy!

Happy Mosaic Monday...

Happy Mosaic Monday to you! I wanted to make a mosaic picture of Easter things I have here in my home and my Easter Day today. So I hurried after I had gotten home from a wonderful but ever so tiresome day and made these mosaic pictures for you. Not only do I enjoy making these but love to look at everyone's also! I wouldn't be able to do either without Mary, at Little Red House. Thank you Mary for making this all possible! Also, if you would be so kind to visit Mary she'd love to have you, and while you're there to look at all the other mosaic pictures our friends here in Blogland have made, there's some gorgeous ones to for you to see!




This is my daughter-n-law, Donna in the nursery for baby Sofia. My son, Mike and Donna decorated the nursery so cute, I just love it! I almost didn't get a chance to see how precious this looks because it's upstairs and boy did I have a very hard time getting up the steps, but I finally made it up there and I'm so glad I did!


I hope that everyone has had a wonderful Easter and I hope that you had gotten a lot of great goodies and that your day was filled with family, friends and lots of love!
Happy Easter!
Hugs...

Mosiac Monday...Putting up our Cross

Happy Mosaic Monday to you! This is my third Mosaic picture that I've made now and I'm still loving it! I have to thank, Mary, at Little Red House! Also, if you would be so kind to visit Mary she'd love to have you, and while you're there to look at all the other mosaic pictures our friends here in Blogland have made, there's some gorgeous ones to for you to see!
I thought it would be nice if I made a Mosaic of us putting up our Cross at my Church on the 15th of April 2006, I remember it as if it were yesterday! It was a amazing day, a awesome feeling and something that I'll never forget in my lifetime!
If you want to read the other post that I had back on Monday, July 27, 2009 and see more pictures, here's the link:
Putting up our Cross


Today is Palm Sunday. It's a Christian moveable feast which always falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It is the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion. It is also called Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion.
In many Christian Churches, Palm Sunday is marked by the distribution of palm leaves (often tied into crosses after receiving them) to the assembled worshipers that Sunday. The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and of victory, in Jewish tradition, and is treated in other parts of the Bible as such (e.g. Leviticus 23:40 and Revelation 7:9). Because of this, the crowd greeted Jesus by waving palms and carpeting His path with palms has given the Christian festival its name.
Here's a picture of a couple of my palms that I had gotten a few years ago and tied into Crosses.


Thanks so much for stopping in today, I hope that you have a very Happy Easter and a wonderful new Spring!
Hugs...
