almost a year ago I received a random
email from a stranger ... generously offering a few of her childhood books
to use for my cards and art .. I offered her encouragement to begin a BLOG
we both said YES and it was real .. the world is like that sometimes .. I am glad

i too love the connections and kindness that seem to flow from one blogger to the next and not everyone does have a blog and I really apperiate them too for checking in and for reaching out! what a difference this little old internet world of ours makes
Blogworld is just jam-packed with thrills like these! One never knows what's coming 'round the bend...
This is why I love the blog world. Beautiful post Elk, and a happy Thursday to you too.
Wonderful! Friends are found in unexpected places!!
What a blessing you are, ELK. You've turned a love-worn corner of a book into art ...thank you!
You and Susan are both special...and it shows here...
Yes! This is real, and those books are definitely real (and delightful...nostalgic...charming...)
What a treat. Thank you for sharing your story and art and friendship with us over at High Calling Blogs, ELK.
Oh, I love that.
Ohhhh, how lovely!!
A Little Golden Book.

Elk,
this made my day.
love to you,
and of course to Susan.
I love those authentic connections, so sweet
What a sweetly wonderful concept. The battered children's book photograph is fantastic.
This is lovely :)
i'm glad she listened to you.....
What a terrific book. A treasure!!!
This reminds me so much of my young childhood spent at my grandparents' house! they always had old children books that I love so much. These are precious.
I remember books like that!
The gift of a friend... one of life's sweetest treasures! :o) Happy Day, Elk ((HUGS))
I just love how supportive and affirming the blog world is. I have said before, but it bears repeating: I think of bloggers as people spinning a web of peace across the world.
i'm glad to know both of you through your wonderful blogs.
Really? How awesome is that? I'm so glad you suggested a blog to her. Wow! This is soo REAL!
So many friendships are made in blogland - don't you just love it when that happens?? Awesome! =)
What a treasure! And a blessing!

Such a gift! Beautiful words and images Elk. xoxo
Oh, I love the way things like that are always happening in the blog world.
oh, that is wonderful. the online community provides such amazing opportunities. my heart is smiling.
I still have my copy of this book - All things bright and beautiful, etc!
I remember books like this as a very young child and wonder what became of them. Very nice to know about things like this.
