Your Quiet Moments Postcard is a wonder - it's always refreshing to visit you & I often have a smile as I type - it's just being reminded of His goodness & the way He enables contact between His people.
May He richly bless you all.

Hi Arnoldo, I'm glad you and your wife had a good day. Well you have been busy. Your art works are fab. Especially when you realize the different sizes. One 2ft by 3 then small to 4.5 by 5 ins. Have a good week. Francesca #130

I am glad your wishes are becoming fulfilled. I know you will continue to keep striving as that is the kind of man you are. I know you have been teaching me so much when I visit and I leave better than when I arrive. I love the piece you made for your daughter's b-day. It will be a treasured keepsake for sure. Your postcard had me amazed as I just adore tea and that cup with all your fine hand done detail grabbed me. I love following Anel's journey in her book. She is so precious.

Hey Arnold - loving your tag Tuesday alphabet series with the lovely Anel. I haven't been able to play for a few weeks and was lacking inspiration as I know I wouldn't have much spare time this year but I saw your lovely zentangle card via Simon Says Stamp and you gave me inspiration so I am going to try to catch up with the tags and post next week - Thank you team mate Helen x

Blessing Arnoldo to you and your lovely family. I too can't believe that January has gone and left us already until next year. But it's good to take stock at the end of each month...to appreciate the gifts we were given.
Your teacup is wonderful ~ my favourite I think. But your other artwork and beautiful photograph are stunning too.
Happy Belated Anniversary...sorry I missed sending my best wishes earlier.
Thanks for stopping by my place. Have a wonderful week whatever you get up to. :D
