Marianne has asked that her sleek black cat, Sjimmie be featured on all of our pages for her journal. I've been waiting for him and apparantly so has my cat, Bliss! 
Who's that behind the stained glass window? It's a kitty out in the cold snow. Wait...it's Sjimmie!!
He finally made his long journey from the Netherlands to Rhode Island!
After we brought him in from the cold he ate a good meal, groomed himself and snuggled up to Bliss. Even Emma the crazy dog was enjoying his company!
The three new pals spent a lot of time in the studio because they love the sunlight in there.
Sjimmie kept looking at the beautiful birth mandala his mother Marianne made for me.
I could tell he was getting homesick.
It was hard saying goodbye to him but he knows he can come back anytime.
Please bring your mother next time Sjimmie!
Now he's on his way with a first class ticket to London to see Joss. Once she adds her pages he'll be going home to tell Marianne about his many adventures!
Bye-bye Sjimmie!! It's been so much fun spending time with you ;)
Hopefully I'll get the back pages done soon!! Stay tuned...
There are many angels in my life, the most recent flock being my blogger buddies. I never would have thought such meaningful, heartfelt friendships could have evolved from this virtual space. I'm truly blessed.
One of the first angels I made friends with is Joss, aka Soulbrush.
She and I share many things in common including personal (inner) battles.
We will always feel that 'sister' connnection.
As most of you know she does this amazing art with a bit of an African influence. I was lucky enough to nab this beautiful ATC in a recent trade with her. I take the blame (proudly) for getting her started on them and for her deep addiction in creating them! Thanks Jossie! xoxoxoxo
Another angel I met along the way is Margaret from Waterblossoms. She does the most amazing series of ATC's with Zentangle flair like nothing I've ever seen before! Each new series takes my breath away. The other day I went to my P.O. box and there was a large package from Margaret. We're doing a journal project together ( ArtySoulSisters) but I'm not supposed to be the one that gets the journal after her so I was confused as to what the box was all about. This folder was on top with instructions not to throw it away because there were goodies inside! I love the little monagrammed notepad...
...and also this matching magnet and the notecard with the sweetest message.
No wonder she wanted me to make sure I looked in the folder! There were 2 exquisite cards with this image. It took my breath away! And she was so thoughtful to ask me to send the extra one to none other than my "Raven Sister", Renee! Yes Renee, it's in the mail ;) xoxo
But wait, there's something else in the box!
Margaret said she was in her favorite store in Illinois when something called out to her..."Lolo!!!"
OH-MY-GOSH!!!!
I gasped when I uncovered this beautiful wooden raven. I was speechless!
I photographed her next to my Jobi Pottery dish from my dear old friend Barbara for taking care of her kitty. They look great together but I know Miss Raven will be happier under my beautiful birth mandala by Marianne.
Perfect choice!
Margaret, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sending me all of these goodies. I feel like you know me so well. I hope we meet one day! xoxo
Before I end this post I also want to thank KJ for her wonderful cards that make me smile and for her daily emails just checking in with me.
Many of you know I met KJ once and this weekend we're going to Provincetown for 4 days of fun. We'll be meeting up with Debra Kay (yay!) and maybe Suki??? We'll have to work on her. We'll be missing Mim who is by her MIL's side post surgery along with her hubby. Big hugs Mim!!
Soulbrush and Marianne were hoping to make the long journey, but work and other things have made it impossible. We'll share our memories with you when we get back. I know we'll meet one day!!
Oh, I almost forgot. It's my 3rd Blogiversary!!
Thanks for coming along for the ride ;)
xoxoxo
Lolo
These are wonderfully creative, Lolo! I'm not sure I would have thought of incorporating a painting within the printed paper. I like this a lot!
Fabulous!!!!

The printed paper is so awesome!!! You always put the right touches on everything!!!

Funny you painted a redwing. We were just talking this weekend that it is about time they arrive here from their wintering grounds. Beautiful back page.
I can hear the cheep and caw. :)
I love these Lolo. My birdie favs are front and center. Luck Marianne to receive this from you. Brava.
It is stunning. Just gorgeous.

You know those floral patterns are my faves...adding your birds puts this over the moon for me...:)
I stop in to look at these every day, Laurel. They're beautiful.
Hi dear!
Thought I had commented , but that was probably on the other blog....
I do I do I do love this!
I love everything about the back and front!
This kind of paper is so you. I love the birdies.
I will go to sleep now (early: 2042)
have to get up at 03.30 tomorrow!!!! That's evil.
It is slippery too on the road. I will be so glad when this trip is over.....
I hope some sunshine will pep me up a little though
♥♥♥

Up to your usual beautiful standards, I see! So clever the way you incorporate the design of the paper to the painting. Love it, Laurel!
