Some Valentine Freebies for You...

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I thought I would share some of my favorite postcard artist's work with you.  I love Ellen Hattie Clapsaddle's work.  Her children are so cute and sweet.  I think they are how she sort of saw the world - with sweet innocence.  Ellen's story is rather romantic and tragic all rolled into one.  We are so lucky so much of her work was not destroyed during the war. I hope you will enjoy these.

Friday Freebies - Memorial Day

I thought this was sweet. The verse is definitely ageless, it sort of makes you remember all the men and women who have fought and given the ultimate sacrifice through history.

The rest of these images are by Ellen Hattie Clapsaddle. As some of you know she is one of my favorite post card artist. I think her images are so sweet. She can definitely capture a moment in one post card.






As a daughter of a World War II veteran and Prisoner of War I am asking all of you this weekend to thank a veteran for their service. Those that have had family and friends perish serving in the armed forces I personally would like to thank you for your great sacrifice. And to all of you who have family and friends presently serving in the armed forces, I want to extend my gratitude and hopes for their safe and speedy return home. I celebrate and honor mine and my families freedom this weekend because of the sacrifice of others. Do not think for a minute I will ever forget that. Thank you! I hope every one has a safe and happy weekend!

Valentine Freebies

This is one of my favorite Valentine's. It reminds me of my boys.

I had to include one with a bird. They are so sweet.

Aren't they just something? Her all shy and him on bended knee.

A little rose fairy for Valentines.

This is so Ellen Hattie Clapsaddle. I love it.

I am so sorry to get these out late this week. Last chick and I had modem and router problems. We are back on line but still having problems with all of our wireless machines, laptops etc... Needless to say it is a lot of needless tension and stress. Hopefully my computer guru will be able to hook us all back up and life will go on....Hope you enjoy these Valentine images.

I love her fur collar and hat trimmed with evergreens.

This makes me start to sing "Silver Bells".

There is something about a tree that brings such delight.

Is she not just the cutest thing?

Look at her all fancied up with the sprigs of holly.
