As my regular readers know I am participating in National Letter Writing Month (NLWM) all of April.
Our wonderful cheerleader and Creator of Cuteness is Lindsay Ostrom. She has kindly featured my blog on her blog this week. I am honored. Thank you Lindsay. This photo is her blog banner. Please visit her and say hello.
I welcome NLWM readers as Lindsay has offered a prize for those of you who comment on her blog and here on my blog. You will recognize this photo which is featured. I do love unique cars, fast cars, slow cars, pretty cars, trucks... Yes, I do love car shows too. This was a concourse Mr. C was invited to participate in and we had a wonderful day visiting with others and seeing their prized one-of-a-kind priceless vehicles.
Do you recognize what these hearts are created from? This was a very large frameable birthday card for someone special. Okay...stop guessing. I used paint chips for the hearts. Bakers twine for the bow and tails. This is still one of my very favorite projects. I mounted it on mat board for framing.
Thank you to each and every one of you for visiting and commenting. I just may send along something special as a complete unknown. I like to reward and surprise my followers for their loyalty as opposed to doing "give-aways". Blogs I follow that do "gives" may have a very few faithful who comment and then the minute they announce a give-away they may have dozens or hundreds of comments. I like to keep it personal and intimate. I hope you understand.
I spotted the fields of poppies I will take photos of later this week and share. I did not have my camera with me today. They truly are spectacular.
Hoping you all are finally experiencing Spring and Sunshine and Flowers Blooming. Creative Bliss...
I know you are enjoying your month of mail...outgoing and incoming. That's a really wonderful looking car. Your hearts bouquet made from paint chips is super, super cute! Happy Spring!

now that is a great idea!!!What a beautiful art piece!
ReplyDeleteI wish I owned that car, I'd tool around the beach in it! LOL I think the paint chip idea is wonderful! I love it when you can find the extraordinary in the ordinary!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the month of letters during this 2014 NLWM!!
that car would have some stories to tell if only it could talk. Good on you with letters, I am afraid I am lazy when it comes to letter writing.
ReplyDeleteThe hearts look good.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, COngrats on being featured on Lindsay Ostrom's blog. That was sweet of her. But your work especially your sewing projects are so pretty and unique.
Love the idea of using paint chips and punching out hearts. Your card is so cute with all the hearts.
Hope you are having nice weather. We have had horrible weather since yesterday. Very windy and then rain, lots of rain and 92 degrees. YUCK. This morning it is in the 60's, but will be in the 80's by mid morning. I am hoping I can go out today and walk at the park.

Oh that car!!!! I am finding out paint chips can be a thing of beauty! You are so right about the giveaways with all the comments you get and then never hear from them again. I guess I was guilty of doing that when I first began blogging. I am off to check out Lindsay's blog.

Hello dear, you look adorable beside that car! I too, love to see vintage cars, and specialty cars.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your month of letter writing. What a cool thing to do.
I actually love my giveaways, and you know I do both, personal thank you giving and giveaways. I have met bloggers through giveaways that are now my really good friends. I am amazed at the goodness of bloggers, their kindness and generosity. OH and they are soooo interesting! lol! I love meeting bloggers...and I love to give things away too.
I value you and your blog. It has been quite a few years now I have been coming to visit you. You always inspire me! Thank you
Hugs,
Terri
I love the paint chip hearts, what a great idea! Happy April mail month to you!
ReplyDeleteSherry that is a great looking car! Our town has an annual car show too and it's so fun to see the cars. One car I remember had the wildest interior ever in velvet and other stuff that I can't remember that clearly right now, lol.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for using those paint chip samples too. You are so creative. I am off to visit the blog you recommended.
Wow, what a gorgeous bouquet of hearts!! How creative to use paint chips!! They look amazing!! And what an awesome car!! Fabulous picture!! Have a great day :)

You and that car are a totally sweet match!!! What a great blog header Lindsay has. Says lots of good stuff about her! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing you with that car! Also love the paint-chip hearts! xo
ReplyDeleteI love all those little hearts and what a fun idea to use paint chips! I have cut things out with my Sizzix Big Shot and paint chips.
ReplyDeleteI used to love to write letters, but I have it up years ago because I seldom received replies. Maybe it's time to get back in the habit!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend (40 years) and I used to write letters for many many years, she still has all of hers from me. We have sat a few times over the years and have had a look at them, such a walk down memory lane when we have done this, such wonderful gifts in the end.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know I have received one of your Black, Pink and Bling ATC'S from Kimberly's swap, beautiful!!! Thanks for playing along.
Have a great rest of the week.

Hey, Sherry, did you make that white car, too? I wouldn't put it past you!
