Thanksgiving Fraktur

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with wonderful memories~

I first learned about Fraktur in college...

Definition of FRAKTUR

1

:  a German style of black letter

2

often not capitalized :  a Pennsylvania German document (as a birth or wedding certificate) that is written in calligraphy and illuminated with decorative motifs (as tulips, birds, and scrolls)

True Fraktur is beautiful~

My sketchbooks are filled with these little sketches.

My notebooks from college (especially the non-art classes)

have simple designs influenced by Fraktur in the borders!

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweet Friends!

New fabric treasures!

Little owl friends... perched on pumpkins!

Sending love from the garden...

Sharing a four leaf clover~

Inviting you to star gaze with them...

Choosing the perfect pumpkin was always a long process!

Our daughter would pick one that was all by itself in the patch...

Or half rotted...

Or shaped funny~ 

She was worried they would be left behind.

Our son....... chose the biggest one he could find!

Garden friends...

Garden babies...

Sharing walks through the fields...

Friendship shared~

Tea time visits...

Peek-a-boo birthday baby!

These treasures & more in my Etsy shop!

Hope your day is off to a great start~

We have sunny skies... after an early morning thunder storm!

Quilt labels & scripture~

More and more words are finding their way onto home decor~

A way for us to share our hearts~

When I take walks through the countryside, feathered friends come near~

Worries calm, my head clears...

His word~

Will add these and oodles more to my Etsy shop~

Tomorrow is expected to be sunny again!

The gardens call to me... "weed me! weed me!"

Why don't the bunnies like to eat weeds?

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Sweet Friends!

Thank you always for so many wonderful comments~

American's Heartland~

~Praying for America's Heartland~

Hope in our hearts~

Life is fragile~

Let us always have HOPE in our hearts.

Our prayers go out to all in Boston~

Good Friday~

John 17: 20-26

~His heart~

Inspirational journals...

His Word is in my heart~

I paint with joy and a grateful heart~

I'm sharing these artist samples with a local Christian group

Impact Theatre a small way to help them continue to share His love & truths.

Beautiful journals & more available from Divinity Boutique!

Artist samples are a treat~

To hold a product in my hand, from one of my paintings!

This design is also on a garden flag!

Imagine how fun, to be driving down the road...

One of our teens shout out, "Mom! One of your flags!"

I give thanks to God~

For every gift He has given me.

I give thanks to God for each of you~

Who continually encourage and support me!

Wishing you a joy-filled day!

Arizona Landscape...

Be sure to drink a lot of water...

Nearing Sedona~

We named this "Eagle Rock" ~ can you see the Eagle head?

This beautiful color... everywhere you look~

View from Chapel Rock~

On the road again~

Montezuma's Well

The only thing that lives in the pretty teal-blue water?

Leaches!

I didn't dip my toe in...

Cliff houses, Montezuma's Well...

Montezuma's Castle~

They used levels of ladders!

Desert landscape...

We were higher in elevation~ the Saguaro's are missing!

Oak Creek Canyon...

America's Grand Canyon!

Majestic!

My photographs do not give any character description

to this breathtakingly beautiful place...

I loved when it was quiet and we could take it all in...

Alaina and I are silent in nature...

We let it share it's own story~

Sweet blossoms living in the harshest of environments~

Beauty I could have never imagined or read about.

No photograph can capture the hand of God when it is this majestic~

Hope your weekend has been wonderful!
