Vintage Bling (picture from Karla) Yesterday, a little package arrived from Karla of Back At Ya Babe and Lynn of create...breathe... And inside... oh my.... Some closer looks. Of course I tried it on... I definitely cut the chain too long, so I'll be shortening it and getting someone else to take a photo of it. (and if you're wondering, the shirt says "Well-behaved women rarely make history!") Thanks to my fellow swappers: Bianca, The Paper Playground Cassie, For the Art of It Heather B., My Daily Dose of Crazy Heather R., Speckled Egg Hope E., Vintage Whimsy Karen H., Karen's Monday Musings Kim B. (no blog) Mary K. (no blog) Wanda C., Wanda Mai Thank you Karla of Back At Ya Babe and Lynn of create...breathe... !!!!

And I've been a bit neglectful. I was lucky enough to win Mary Green's prize last month for her March challenge . I had my choice of an item from her store, and I picked this one from a French dictionary . I've been busy: planning my table for the May high tea at church, Holy Week, Holy Week, Holy Week, Easter -- not just as part of my job at church but as a choir member -- and somehow found time to almost finish the current mermaid painting. I don't think she's done yet though. So you'll have to wait to see it. I've even found time to sign up for a swap! The Vintage Bling Necklace Swap. There are still spots open if you'd like to sign up! What I haven't found is time to post. Hopefully now that Jesus has been let loose in the world (He is risen! The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!), I'll have a little more time to do more than read other people's blogs!
