Was such a beautiful evening, daytime temp was 74 today, I couldn't resist going out and sitting on the deck in the springlike, cool evening air. Here are a few pics of the wonderful sky I viewed. What a beautiful moon!

Another view of the moon.

Vintage Ledger Swap

The Vintage Ledger Swap Atc's arrived! The theme was to have some vintage ledger paper as the background. They are just beautiful! This one is from Barbara Dunford; lovely colors with some "bling" (gotta love it) and a cute pink flower up in the corner.

This is Heather Bloom's and has a cute little vintage button at the top with a little "bling" on the heart. You know I love that bling! It also has a metal corner at the top and german scrap along the bottom.

April Dudko's with a copy of actual vintage paper from a Philadelphia mechants Ledger date 1862 in the background! I just love the garter fastener...very cool.

Here is Janet Cassady's...the flash didn't do it justice. It's awesome and what a cute saying.

Another wonderul ATC from Teri Chinen, hostess of the swap. It's titled "The Big One". Such a cute little boy image with a metal crown and german scrap along the left side.

Here is Kris Dickinson's "Captain of Industry"....love those dunce caps! They add such a whimsical look to any ATC.

Sharing some information today of a friend of mine's website. I used to work with Andy at Sears and became good friends; he's a wonderful christian man. He moved to Florida and married Gail, seen here in the picture. He was diagnosed with cancer recently and has gone through some rough surgeries and now radiation and then chemo when his wrist heals from where they took the graft for his tongue. He did have lymph node involvement and the borders didn't turn out "clean" after surgery. So he has a long road ahead of him. His friends, family and God continue to be his strength through all of this. Please keep my friend Andy in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you! Visit him at www.mylifeline.org/andyweisenborn/
