In tandem

This lovely home belongs to a wonderfully positive gal over here.
Whenever I find my faith lagging, I head over there and she always seems to have something good, and fun to share. Side-by-side, I was drawn to illustrate this home, all I can say, that a higher power jumped right in, "in tandem" you could say!
Every so often, I feel inspired and it just takes over and leads me to a calm spot, one of strength and genuine energy.
(Thank-you Deidra for all your kind comments and positive reinforcement on my blog!)

Who do you find yourself working in tandem with?

Oh Patricia I wish I was a little fly on the wall, when she sees your beautiful illustration of her home! Yahoo... xoxo

Deidra said...

Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness!

I'm speechless (as you can see) and so very blessed by this exquisite - yes, exquisite - rendering of our home! Thank you, Patricia! It's so beautiful. Your talent spills over and blesses so many. I am always in awe of your work, and to click over here and see this beauty...for me. And your kind words (as always) put a smile on my face. Have I said thank you yet? I am so grateful, dear friend.

(Joyce would be laughing out loud and handing me tissues if she could see me now.)

I just love the mailbox :) It's quirky and fun! My mom has had all the houses we lived in painted, and they always take out the fun stuff (like swing sets and mailboxes)...

I worked with a wonderful gal who told me she wanted to live in a home to be able to go outside barefoot to get her mail - from her quirky mailbox! I love that about America.
