Have a wonderful time with your family! Btw, I sent off my first Count Sealyham birthday card greeting. He's winging his way back east. How satisfying :)
I agree with the first commenter Pura Vida....I envy your guests :D:D:D
How beautiful it is always to come here....a breath of sparkly air! I will visit your etsy store again, so I can dream. (((hugs))) lady

Anita we love your images. Have a lovely visit and enjoy yourself. To answer an old question re my breed , I am not sure as I am a rescue from a puppy farm. I was sold in a pub as a King Charles Cav but went to two homes before I found my peeps at 17 weeks old. My peeps thinks I may have Gordon Setter in there somewhere but it is anyone's guess. Have a great time and see you over on my blog soon we hope.
Best wishes Molly
Anita, my darling, once again your post has taken my breath away. Enjoy your visit.
Dear Anita,
You are the living embodiment of Karma. What you reap you sew and what goes around comes around. You send so much love into the world and in return, you' re loved tenfold. It is apparent by the people who flock to share your message. We are truly blessed by your presence! Beautiful Anita, have a wonderful time with family!
Much love xxxxx

As I said to you before, you bear your crown well, my friend.
Anita, I now dub you the paper queen, "Le Papier Reine." :) Your art is undeniably a gift. Along with your crown, you bear it very well.
Keep shining, love. Thank you for the beautiful quotes.
XOXO's,
Marcia
Hello Anita, I love your sweet bookmarker. I did not realize you have become a full fledged artist. Your work is stunning.
One of the reasons I enjoy the Ellen show is that at the end of each program she says "Be kind to one another."
Have a lovely time with your family. Love to you and Ruben.
xo, Bonnie
PS - yes Sadie passed away last November. Life without her is not the same.
Tweet! teeehee... Thank you dearest for coming over and meeting my little birds. So happy you enjoyed them..
Bisous!
Penny
Anita dear,
This post made my heart sing. First of all, let me tell you I LOVE THE PICTURE OF THE LADY WITH THE RED CAPE! She reminds me of my Spanish genes. The "Be Kind" quote made me smile too. You have been busy this summer with family and friends. And that is what life is about - spending time with our loved ones. Your creations are so unique, and I will have to browse through your etsy shop. I especially like the Kindness tags.
"WEAR YOUR CROWN OF KINDNESS" - I LOVE THAT!!!!! If only we were all so kind with one another. Wouldn't the world be a much sweeter place? Have a nice time with your family coming up. I will be thinking of you, my lovely Anita.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Oh Anita, you make me so happy and give me such encouragement and hope...more kindness will make the world a better place, no doubt!
You new pieces are breathtaking...

Okay, I had to come back today to give you your title again, this time with the proper translation. "La reine du papier." tee-hee I forgot French works like Spanish when you translate. So basically last night I dubbed you the Queen Paper vs. the Paper Queen...I think. It was a good attempt though. ;)
Hope you're having a beautiful day.
XOXO
Marcia
By the way, this came to me when I was dozing off into dreamland. Yes, I know, I have no words. Well, maybe too many. ;)
Thank you dearest for visiting and the Tweet Tweet this morning!
Enjoy your evening
Bisous!
"La Reine DE Papier" it is!! hahaha Oh my! I just had to come back and leave this one for the record. I stand corrected by the queen herself. What a privilege indeed.
MUAH! MUAH! MUAH! (universal kisses) ;)
Anita, enjoy your time with your guest. I've been peeking into your shop. It's full of gorgeous pieces! You amaze me........Sarah
Dearest Anita
Your creations are more and more beautiful. I love Mother Teresa's message on kindness. Enjoy your time with your friend and looking forward to your return.
The image of the Spanish dancer is spectacular.
Helen xx
Hello Anita,
I must confess that I have not been blogging a whole lot lately...staying busy it seems with other things. I go through stages. Getting a little bored though with the Olympics.
Anyway...I did come by a few days ago and took a peak at your shop and was SO impressed by your recent creations and looked at some of the fabulous sales you've had on your items! WAY to GO! I hope you're having fun with your venture. You are amazingly creative with paper. Quite brilliant!
Well, I hope you have fun with your family and enjoy the time away. :)
Much love,
Heidi
Beloved friend, how true, how true! Kindness is love in ACTION!
Thank you for being such a stellar example of this vital life lesson.
Beautiful post, dear one...you know how I feel about your creations...and I also am loving the collage work you are doing...the effects are wonderful!
Enjoy what I hope will be a magical few days with your dear family...
LOVE YOU!!!!
- Irina
Have a lovely time. this is a lovely post..as per usual. Mary
HI!!!
HOW FUNNY you say this...I tell my Grand daughter who is 4 all the time....YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL....however true Beauty is not what color your hair is or what color your eyes are...for some reason this borwn eyed darling is in LOVE with BLUE eyes...I knwo the feeling.....as ONE of 16 grand children..I being the ONLY BROWN EYE....so I feel her pain and understand...but she seems so young...her Mommy and Daddy have brown eyes..but along came baby brother with the BLUEST eyes ever....and she hears this often.....
But anywho..
I tell her the thing that makes you most beautiful is YOUR HEART....BE KIND and Loving and you will be the MOST beautiful thing ever!!!
Have fun with your friend
hugs 2 U,
jamie

Summer is such a wonderful time for visits from family and friends ***
Your 'Kindness' gift tags are so charming. I have to decide if I want them in aqua or the pale pink. Beautiful post!
Hello Anita,
Oh thanks so much for stopping by! Mr. Maximus is at a whole new level with all of the climbing. He really makes me nervous sometimes, but he is ALL boy and I LOVE that...I know you would get a kick out of him if you could see him in action. I need to figure out a way to video tape him without him knowing that I'm doing it. Because once he knows I'm taping him, he usually quits what he's doing and usually tries to grab the camera.
I hope you got all of your cleaning and laundry done and are enjoying your guest. I am so happy that you are enjoying your summer. And how nice that you get to continue your creativity come Fall. Have fun my friend!!!
Heidi
I'm back from vacation... :)
Lovely post as always. Your new creations are stunning, as I told you earlier (we have so much to talk about).
Hope you're enjoying your cousin's visit.
You and I will catch up soon.
(You and Ruben made an appearance in my blog) (hahahaha).
Love u xoxo
My studio is becoming a true inspiring space.
The walls are painted
The floor-covering is beautiful
The long ( LONG ) desk is empty
and I have not yet had the courage to bring ANYTHING in it.......
I wait for the wooden venetian blinds
to be hanged and than.......
Hope your family time brings you surprises ......
Lots of hugs
Bonjour from Bebe!
Mum has told me you were wondering where I am. Well... She put me to work.. But I will be on another adventure real soon, if she will let me out of the kithen!
Thank you for visitng yesterday.
love, Bebe
Hello sweet friend,
I just wanted to come by and see the flamenco dancer one more time. You were a dancer when you were young? My mother was part Spanish and French Canadian, and my father, Greek, and I used to look at pictures of my mom's sister wearing beautiful Spanish costumes dancing in competitions. I also had to come back to see the crowns. Do you know I have a thing for CROWNS? A happy Friday to you, dear.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley

Anita, love, I hope you are enjoying your time away from the computer, but if you peek in for your comments I was wondering if you'd be willing to fill a little shop order/request of sorts... ;) ...when you have time, of course.
Just wondering if a set of 12 cards just like the one you made for The Shop Around the Corner would be possible. AND, would you be willing/able to make them postcard style instead of folded?
Let me know when you have a chance.
XOXO's,
Marcia

Love from gerrmany!
Chère Anita,
Grâce à toi, j'ai 11 ans. Mes mains tiennent la barre de bois et mes jambes font des ronds au sol en suivant le tempo du piano et le baton de bois de ma professeur qui tape la mesure...
Merci et bon dimanche

Hi beautiful Anita!!!!!!!!!
How are you?
This is another amazing post!!!!!!
I love the quote from Mother Theresa...
I can't believe how quick summer is passing; the hot temperatures have gone (107 degrees) but it's still on the warm side (90's). We've had rain the past couple days which are welcome- its been such a dry summer here.
My mom is coming for a visit the end of August. She's in New York City with my dad for a vacation. They attended the 9/11 Memorial; my mom said is was very moving and so sad!!!!!
I hope you're having a wonderful week!!!!
Thank you so much for leaving such kind, uplifting comments on my blog posts!!!! I love reading them!!!!
Luv & Hugs!!!!!!

Anita!
I have to say hi! You are so fun. You go to comment to Heidi all the time. I see you there and say to myself, has she posted a new fabulous and marvelous post and I haven't seen it?
But no-- I come to your site and there isn't a new post but I then wonder into your most current post and find myself dreaming and emoting and yearning to see more! You stinker!
Your posts are incredibly unique and true to form. Everything about them are mystic and wonder yet full of impressions and artistic pleasures.
Please never stop doing this, please.
love, Renae
Anita dear! Hope you have a wonderful time away. Your designs are amazing, so full of life, timeless and stunning.
I'm finally making it back to life after many, many weeks of intense work as a consultant/contractor. Still doing that but finally starting to work more normal hours.
I missed visiting you!
Besos.

OH what fun that you and your cousin look alike...(or resemble) each other. Very sweet.
Yay...I'm happy that you got the sheet music and can put it to good use. It is so fun looking through all of that vintage stuff. Are you looking for more? I should see if my Mom still has some. I know she was cleaning it out - not sure if she got rid of it.
We are having some hot temps! It's in the 90's and we're expected to have a couple of 100 degree days. We are so not use to that kind of weather here. Hope you're staying cool!
Have a good evening!

Hello My Friend!!!
And Happy Friday to YOU!
What a crazy week. Whew...I'm glad it's almost over. LOL...
How was Ruben's first week of school? I hope it went well. It doesn't seem possible that school is back in session and I can hardly imagine how sad I will be once Maximus starts school. Time goes so fast! But each stage is fun and I'm enjoying him everyday.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. And now I'm off to send you an email. :)
Love,
Heidi
HI ANITA!!
