A Whimsical Bohemian's Lisa Swifka has a birthday today! Happy Birthday to you, Lisa. I have been friends with Lisa since I began blogging with Blue's Tranquility Base in September of 2006. We chat on the phone. We email. Her artwork graces my walls, my kitchen cupboards (hand painted mugs for tea!), my children's playroom (a Bronwyn doll! I'm not kidding). She is one hell of a creative, caring individual-and one of my favourite people. And her artwork is for sale on her website so please go check it out. Oh, and she is having a birthday giveaway too, so wish her well and you just may win something.
Many happy returns, friend. And much love to you. xoxo
You have beautiful friends, Gillian, because like attracts like. You are a stunning human being. One we are all lucky to know in person or through this window to your world.
I hope your Dad is well. I continue saying prayers for him. xo
