And the Winner is...Moi!!

Mid-January Kathi, of South Bay Studio, had her last GIVEAWAY of the year.  She was giving away five of her beautiful, watercolor cards.  Here they are, as she showed them in her giveaway:

I don't enter many giveaways, because frankly I don't have time to follow the routine:  Join here, go there, comment 15 times and you're in.

But when I saw Kathi's, I HAD to join in the fun.  And wouldn't you know?  

I WAS THE LUCKY WINNER!!

Kathi sent them out immediately and I now have them in my hot little hand and home, ready to enjoy:

Here they are, in my antique secretary...ready for some quiet time
to spend with friends and family.
I think I will use them for thank-you notes.

Look at the detail!  They are exquisite!
Kathi says she uses a very fine glitter--it's wonderful!  I hope you can see it.

Some of the prints are Kathi originals, which I especially love.

In my post, Tea  for Cookie (HERE), I wrote about how much I enjoy the
{now-old-fashioned} means of  staying in touch--
LETTER WRITING.
That means I will thoroughly enjoy using these notes cards,
BUT...

I'm not sure I want to part with them!
I will choose the recipients carefully,
making sure they will appreciate Kathi's art.

Do you still write letters?
Do you send handwritten thank-you notes?
Do you love beautiful stationery?

And speaking of writing...do you like pens?
I'm love pens--cheap pens, giveaway pens, expensive pens,
but nothing writes like my
Waterman fountain pen.
I also like to change the ink colors.
These days I'm using teal--
It was called it Peacock Green when I was in school--
it was my favorite ink color then
and a favorite color for anything now.

Be sure to visit Kathi to see her beautiful blog and her Etsy shop, where you can see a full display of her art.   

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment to let me know you were here and that you love Kathi's art.  I read every single one of them!  They encourage me and inspire me.  And if you like what you see a lot J, maybe you’d like to +1 this post too!  Thank you!

I'm going to join ALL these fun parties to make sure Kathi's art gets out there--it's wonderful!  Please stop by to see all the great things there!
