WOYWW -814-Lots of challenges


AH(after Helene,) one of the symptoms of acute trauma is inability to focus..
You can see there is not much on my desk.
I'm very grateful to all my arts communities for prayer, support and generous art supplies!
Art Impressions has 3x3" challenges, and January theme was 
put a bird on it, so as a Robyn I couldn't resist.
It did take me almost 2 weeks to finish, and I did, and that in itself is healing.
Also an, add gold challenge, and you need a blog to link to and 
when I realized it was also Wednesday- done!


Life keeps happening! I do have a beautiful new granddaughter, Remi Jade, all doing well.
Time to focus on what we have not lost more than what we have.
Thanks for visiting, comments and questions always warmly welcomed.

I have a desk! WOYWW 807/27

 WOYWW?



If a picture is worth a thousand words, I pray this one brings thousands of thanks to each one of you who sent prayers, a card, and supplies.
I havent posted since Hurricane Helene came through my Town, in Western North Carolina, USA, and changed all of our lives.
I'm finding it important to focus more on what I have not lost, than what I have.
I have not lost my life, family and close friends and pets all safe.
I have not lost my faith, my world wide friends of community, and support.
(I did lose my home and much of my belongings)

I had a plan to get back to each individually, and that went the way of my life BH(before Helene). I moved several times, before finally getting stable housing Nov 1- and these cards were my touch stones in each new space.
There are no words to express how much the support, friendship and generosity of my on line art communities mean to me- to all of us.
Art saves live, and heals, and united in our WOYWW community, we care for and with, each other.
I have shared these cards and some of the supplies with many other artists, and pray they will find the strength of community in them that I do.
Much of the paint and paper when into our child play pop ups while our schools and daycares were closed. I know there were prayers in every stroke of the pen and brush.
(if you don't see your card, a little artist, may have taken it for their own!)
Thank you!
