Spring Basket Swap
I'm a member of a paper artists yahoo group and we had a Spring Basket Swap that I was able to participate in. I just received my basket in the mail today made by Mary U. I have it hanging in my kitchen already. I love the blue, aqua and green colored flowers. It's bright, cheerful and spring-like, very much needed with all the gray, cloudy days we're having. Now, I need to get moving on finishing the painting in my "little yellow kitchen/pantry" which are blues, aquas, and greens that are to be the accent colors. My new basket from Mary will be a wonderful piece of art for my kitchen -- thank you, Mary!! :-) Patty, the host of the swap, has a post at her blog (This My Blessed Life) with a picture of the baskets made for the "Spring Basket Swap" -- all the other ladies did a beautiful job on their baskets!

Deb, your baskets are just lovely. I wanted to do that swap, but thought better of it due to all the catching up around here from almost 4 months absence. Maybe I"ll just have to make some for myself. Hope you have a lovely Sunday filled with joy and a sense of his loving presence. Zephanieh 3:17-"He rejoices over you."

ReplyDeleteHi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I will be back to your blog soon.

Hi Coleen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Patty put the pattern for the basket in a file at the yahoo group. I have three others partially made but they will have to sit for a while due to working on graduation projects. I'll be back to your blog again AND I hope to see some of your art from the class your taking. I hope I can take it in August.
Blessings!
