Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap 2013

This was the first year that I participated in the

Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap.
There were 216 participants.

Kat Sloma is the brains behind the swap and thank you Kat!

It was loads of fun and I'm already looking forward to the swap in 2014.

Another big thank you to Kat and to all the participants.
I can't tell you what fun it was to check the post everyday and find the next surprise.
Kat is hosting a blog hop.
You can visit with Kat and see a video she has put together of some of the art.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Tea in the Garden

During my last visit to the Japanese Garden

I took a little tea cup with me.

I hoped I'd find a place or two I could make this little cup the star.

I think the garden fairies would approve.

Don't you?

"If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty."

Random Friday

I'm joining Nancy at A Rural Journal for Random 5 Friday.

Some very quick This and Thats!

- I had guacamole for dinner last night. 

Just guacamole. 

Perhaps it was an early Cinco de Mayo celebration.

-I'm enjoying our last (probably) cool front of the season.

I'll soon be entering my summer hibernation faze.

Too much heat and humidity.

Meanwhile -- I'll dance in the cool!

- More roses blooming in Musashi's Garden.

- I'm getting my hair cut today ... yippee!

- Practice, practice, practice....

This is from Martha Lever's color drop class.

Too much fun!!!
