NOTE TO OUR ARTISTS:


I’m sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.


UPDATE 10/27: Marie is having a long and difficult recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Take a Word - BEACH


Our theme word this week is BEACH.  Bathing beauties, even mermaids perhaps, sailing boats, lakeside, riverside - anywhere that fits in with the coming season of summer. Have fun!  My blog is HERE
I apologize for not keeping up with my comments lately.  It's a case of serious illness (not mine) in the family that keeps me occupied.  I hope things will be back to normal very soon.
