Challenge Hunt ATART February 24-27

[CastleQueen5]

i think i have all the suggested products except for i might not have (or don't know where it is) a puzzle piece.
i love sorting postage stamps, it is just under fussy cutting for relaxing task imo.

Walk into any thrift store, near the puzzles in the kids section, and you most likely will find a lost puzzle piece on the floor.

I hope to have time to join in.

I got a package today from Loladog. I havent opened it yet. No postmark date, a yellow sticker, that you see forwarding has the date 1/24. She put castlequeen5 as my name, and the zip was wrong.

I remember how confused I got with my mailings and addresses, when I was trying to recover from the latest round of chemo. So I get it.

It brings tears to my eyes to get something so beyond the grave. She was very kind to me, as my husband and Loladog and similar cancers and treatments. And she was very encouraging during my chemo in 2020 and 2021.

I might open it soon, and see if I can honor her name in some art for this art-a-thon. Right now I just cant open it.

I can understand how you must feel. Just before Just Ducky passed away she had order an crocheted shawl from me. What was so sad is she passed away before she even received it. I still miss her she was such an upbeat person so positive in everything and always will to try new things. I'm sure it will be something very positive.

[CastleQueen5]

Yes, it was sad when Ducky died. I saved her Pms and the last one was so jumbled, I knew she wasnt feeling well. I have saved Loladogs too, just because they were so encouraging.

Thank you for sharing this. I think she asked several people if they would like to receive their cards back or should she forward them to someone else. I remember when I saw that message. And I remember exactly how I felt. That was the moment when I knew her time is running out.

I put a note with a name and address of an ATC friend inside the front cover of my binder of ATCs to be mailed when the time comes.

Yesterday's doctor appointment consisted of a bunch of injections in my eyes. Kinda painful and mucho uncomfortable all day but today I can see enough to read my computer without magnifying glasses. Now I can begin to look forward to this challenge. Off to declutter the sewing/craft room so I can mess it up again :-)

P.S. We went to the Goodwill after the doctor yesterday. Guess what I found on the floor.....

Checking in to say "Hello!"

Tomorrow - or today depending on where you are located - is 02-22-2022 or 2-22-22. Won't see that again for some time.

Also, some of our local artsy people have declared it tutu day - one should don tutu and take a photo at 02:22 p.m. (or it could be a.m. if one was awake.)

I have not a tutu!!!!! What to do?

Someone in my community is sponsoring a outdoor poetry sharing of pieces with the word “two” in the title at 2:00 pm!

I just read in the news that today will be the most popular wedding day of this year .

30.5 hours to go...

We spent almost all day yesterday preparing things. I have made again maybe 40 backgrounds. They are still very plain and I will continue to work with them today. I have also sorted postage stamps and colored some stamped images. And sorted all my small embellishments. Our dining table is occupied again as it was in the Post Christmas ATART .

[CastleQueen5]

I am mailing off a postcard that will be stamped 2-22-22 for a swap over on "the bot" aka swap-bot.

But now I am going to set an alarm to take a photo.

[LuAnnP]

I just read through the posts so far, and had to take a break to celebrate Tutu Tuesday 2-22-22.. I have 22 minutes to go before I will post my most original Tutu photo:

Of course, I don't own a tutu. I had a bit of black Halloween tulle stashed somewhere... but when locating that fabric, I got inspired by a roll of..... plastic screen.

So I bet I have the only plastic screen wire tutu around.....

Some days, I just have too much fun.

LuAnnP, I love your photo in your unique tutu. Well improvised!!!!

[dsign49]

LuAnnP, I have agree with HHC. Very clever,

[LuAnnP]

Thank you, HHC, for posting the original "TuTu Tuesday" idea. I hadn't heard of it. It was just too silly to resist doing SOMETHING for 2-22-22! Thank you, also, dsign49. I'm still smiling .....
