art journal challenge - week 50!

wow, wow, wow - week 50!

this weeks challenge is: the greatest gift
what is the best gift you have ever received...or given...?

obviously my greatest gifts are my family - but i wondered what the best material gift was that i have ever gotten - it has to be my beautiful big wooden table. mick completely surprised me a few christmases ago, he received a tax refund and i didn't notice it so he bought me the very expensive table i had seen and loved in the city - i couldn't believe it! we have had many great memories around that table and it is so special to me that he would do such a big thing like that.

paper - i cannot remember who makes this paper! rubons are new from jenni bowlin, label is jennifer pebbles printable swank labels printed onto vintage ledger paper.

Blessings to your little one...hope she feels better soon! The greatest gift I recieved is my 5 children (now 6 with a wonderful stepdaughter but feels so much like my own child..and she is with child and we will be Grandparents!!!) and my sweet hubby they are all wonderful and precious gifts! The best gift I ever gave....possibly I would have to say is on my daugthers birthday when we had no money and so I made her an art kit with many items from my supplies and of all the things she got..the art kit was the first thing she would get out to play with and still does! That! Made my heart smile!!

Thanks for the email at the end of last week Emily! Yes, it is getting cold here. We got over 19 inches of snow last week so we will be having a white Christmas. I'm glad no one gave you any grief over that doll!

Hey there! Love your card this week. :) The paper is from Blue Cardigan: http://imaginationproject.com/catalog/images/BP24005-Elsies-Bouquet.jpg

Sending lots of wishes for a very happy Christmas!

[Yvette]

When I first saw this prompt, I thought (like everyone else!)- oh, my kids!

Then I thought DUH, let's be a bit less obvious.

So I decided to focus on my most challenging act of giving, Christmas 2005, to my eldest child away from home and family for the first time at in the festive season.

But how to condense a fairly complex tale onto a playing card? Well, I hope I succeeded - it is by no means an arty card, but it records the joy we experienced, I hope.
