Did someone say that spring had arrived in Devon? Oh, it was me . . . . a couple of weeks ago! We had frost every morning last week and chilly rain, rain, rain for the past two days. This afternoon we had to park on the other side of the river when we got home.

I checked the mail before I forded the stream and found that spring had arrived in the post. I received this juicy, vibrant ATC from Fannie Narte who is based in Texas.

I met Fannie recently in cyberspace when I googled Neocolor II and found my way to her blog Imagine, Create, Inspire. I emailed her my question about stabilizing Neocolor II on fabric and she got right back to me with some helpful advice. Fannie is an artist who enjoys exploring and shares her discoveries and techniques on her blog. I also really like the interesting questions she poses at the end of many of her posts. Oh! and she had a giveaway contest last weekend in which I won this beautiful ATC; actually we were all winners.

Fannie has another blog Artistic Expressions dedicated to her fabulous colored pencil and watercolor art. She is one of those talented and creative free spirits who carelessly says, ‘This is my first colored pencil piece’ and shows a perfectly executed work of art. Mahalo Fannie!!
