Recently, I had the distinct privilege of meeting with both Mutnik and Bertlady while on vacation in California.
Let me just assure you these ladies are everything you imagine them to be. Both are fun and talkative to boot. A fabulous bonus to meeting with Bertie is this wonderfully Christmas spirited RAK of handmade ornaments - and tags!
Oh Bertie, I am so sorry it is yet another grey day in lumberjack country. I had to place all my goodies on a windowsill in attemps to better the lighting.
Bertie's card to the right says, "the artist is not there to be one with the world ~ she is there to transform it". Whahoo - how true it is, Bertie.
The other tag has a darling cat image with an attitude that says, "if you dont like my attitude...get a dog".
Thank you so much for making time to meet me, Bertie. I loved seeing one of your gourds and meeting you, too.

I so agree with you Anne about us three meeting up. My only wish is that it could have been a much longer visit! WE only scratched the surface on getting to know each other. I so look forward when we meet up again! Love these wonderful creative items Bertie made and gave to you. I too, received some special homemade items. That Bertie is one sweet lady. BUT then you are too!

Boy, I just wrote the best comment ever, but when I hit submit it posted it twice and then deleted them both. Yikes! Anyway, I had wrote how I loved meeting up with both of you too. I only wish the visit could have been much longer. We only scratched the surface of getting to know each other. Bertie sure made some sweet items here for you. I too received some home made items. Bertie, you are one sweet and very creative lady. Anne, you too are very sweet and creative. Just look at your chubby faced snowman card today. It is darling!!!! Anyway, what a great time I had. Looking at these goodies just reminds me of that very fun day. TFS :0)

Oh, Anne, you got some wonderful RAKS from Bertie. And, yes, she has glorified all of us with her comments and I'm so glad she's started her own gallery. She has such unique art pieces. I'm so glad you got to meet up with Mut and Bertie. What great gifts Bertie has bestowed upon you!! ENJOY!!

Bertlady? Yes, we are all familiar with her wonderful comments. How sweet of her to send you this wonderful RAK of homemade items. Lucky you! I'm betting you, along with Bertlady and Mutnik had a blast of a day.
