ATCs from Katie Jane & Bad storm passed thru.

I got these in the mail today from Katie
I was expecting the Rose but she sent another one as a surprise. it is called
SPACE. They are much prettier in person. The space one has a very pretty almost heart shaped colored rock or glass on it. Both seem to glitter too.
Thank you Katie I love them and I will be doing something for you soon.

They came in this pretty card
I keep wanting to pick off the yarn on the card it's so real looking.
:))
We just had the worse Thunder and lightening , rain and hail storm I have EVER been in all at once.
Scared me & the animals to death. It hit hard and right over head. Took forever to pass thru too.
It blew hard and took off most all my Roses on my beautiful Rose bushes out back. I am so glad I got the photos of them before.
It blew over other plants with the wind and the HARD rain, and Hail.
I had a hard time getting the computer off in time and then I pulled all plugs and TV plugs and any other plugs I could think of.
Just to be safe.
:)
I was so afraid that it would blow some big branches off the HUGE trees in front and back of us onto the house. It took sprinklers and objects on a table out back and blew them across the yard.
It blew the tarp off the fire wood on the side. blew alot of my plants over. The Fairy roses on the side fence are all on our side and not ON the fence any more. I am not sure till morning what else it blew over or off but in the middle of it all I realized I had forgotten to bring in my hummingbird sugar water feeder and out there sitting on it several times were two little hummers drinking away uncaring of all the noise , lightening hitting, hard blowing wind, heavy rain and hail going on and that the feeder was swinging back and forth like crazy, not once blowing these little puffs of feathers anywhere, and yet my sprinklers were tossed across the yard. Go figure.
Tomorrow we will go out and do damage control. Right now I need something strong to sooth my raw nerves.

Hard to believe that all those beautiful roses in the post below are no longer there. How sad. And what a powerful lot of nature you got! Wow! I'd have been scared too.

Lovely ATCs and card from KJ.

Wow! It looked like you were having such pretty weather in the latest photos. Amazing--glad you're all ok--the flowers will return, I'm sure. I'm glad you posted those rose photos, too--they're so beautiful. Love the cards, too!

Aw, thanks, Cris. You are so sweet. I'm so glad you like them. (p.s. that is a green stone. Interesting shape, isn't it)

Too bad you had such a bad storm last night. We had tornado warning sirens, but only hard rain. No damage here.
