The Hummingbirds Have Arrived

Welcome to my blog, The Diamond Dragonfly

FINALLY, the hummingbirds have arrived back safely and seemingly sound. I was beginning to wonder if ours had met an untimely demise.

A short personal update. I have been away for sometime with a rather pestersome health challenge which left me totally useless for two months plus. I have been getting back to some form of normalcy but enough for this train of thought.

A big welcome and thank you to all the new faces on our talented Design Team including the past, present and future Guest Designers.

Another fun, family friendly, challenge with a wholesome sentiment, and” of course,” it’s always “Anything Goes” as far as styles or projects.

The Geese Are Back

Welcome to my blog, The Diamond Dragonfly

We have had another outpouring of wonderful art again this week. Such amazing and creative faithful participants, “thank you all so much”.

The geese are back and the snow is leaving. The Ottawa River is open from shore to shore and I’m quite pleased to see Spring arriving.

In His Word Do I Hope

Welcome to my blog, The Diamond Dragonfly

We have had another outpouring of wonderful art again this week. Such amazing and creative faithful participants, “thank you all so much”.

Our snow is melting and we have three days of rain. I think I heard some Canada Geese honking and that is always a great sign. Would you like a hand crafted Birthday card in the mail from me? #imbringingbirthdaysback sugarplum46

Supplies for this card are from The Kraft Store one of our sponsors this challenge.

The DP is from a Kraft 12x12 pad.

Fear Not, Neither Be Dismayed!

Welcome to my blog, The Diamond Dragonfly

We have had another outpouring of wonderful art again this week. We appreciate you all very much.

Today I put a picture of my sweet little SparkPlug who has departed. He was so brave right up until the last day when I had to take him to Orleans Veterinary Hospital. These professionals have been a blessing to our pets for a long time. Brenda, from Brenda's Country Clips a Master Groomer was such a blessing to us in so many ways.

SparkPlug was such a faithful wee friend who I miss a lot. Cricket, his brother is still wandering about like a lost dog which he is.

I made this card for my brother Harvey. We had a train track in the back of our property when we grew up in Osgoode in the 50-60’s. So this wonderful engine will bring him many happy memories. This stamp set stamps beautifully.

I will post it under @carolerobb #imbringingbirthdaysback

This weeks Scripture always calms me and encourages me to press in and trust the One who created me more and more. I hope you will keep a copy of the word art.

Here is some FREE digital word which you are welcome to use BUT it is not required.

This is our 221^st challenge. Thank you so much for taking time to share your wonderfully creative art with us. We appreciate your participation and we love seeing your creations.
