"A Final Bow..."

...for the last 4 ladies in my China Bloom ATC series

Each has been taken...and has been given with "LOVE"

but

since they had not been formally revealed on my blog

I thought that a "group post" on a Blooming Tuesday would be

a perfect way to let them "take a final curtain call."

Personally, I am "over the moon" in delight with your enthusiasm

for this little card series.

They have truly been a lot of fun to make...

and...with that being said...

I have wonderful plans for designing MORE

China Bloom sets..."Ta DAAA"

...the next set will be revealed mid June

(fingers crossed...)

"Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June."

"Back Home..."

...Exhausted...Elated...and on Email overload...LOL :)

Whew!

(A lot happens when one is unplugged!)

So

a little something soothing and serene for today...

...another "China Bloom"

...from my ATC series...#2 of 6.

"You must be a Lotus,

unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky,

unaffected by the slush where it is born

or

even the water which

sustains it!"

~Sri Sathya Sai Baba

"A Bit of LOVE..."

...written in Chinese calligraphy

on a little bitty ATC card...

...The first in the "China Bloom" series...:)

I cannot stop designing these little treasures...

My brain does not turn off...

It is playing full speed and overtime in Fantasyland!

The "plan", as it now stands, is to design several series of cards...

with six cards to a series.

After that...I don't quite know what I will do with them!

(Some may be sent to Zazzle and made into cards or stickers...???)

Several people have offered to trade...

and I see that to be a wonderful summer possibility!

So...Stay tuned, if interested...:)

You can see all of them all here on Flickr...

"I like nonsense,

it wakes up the brain cells.

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,

It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.

Which is what I do,

And that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
~Dr. Seuss
