I am putting the presents before the Guests I fear.
Lynn came to visit Saturday baring gifts.
She came with her DH who spent time with con while I showed Lynn around.
We had a great time.
It was as if it wasn't one year ago almost exactly that we had first met and last seen each other.
Big hugs started off the Visit and a little show and tell and then she brought out some gifts she had made for me. I found a place in my studio right away to hang her gifts. I love hearts and she made this big Art piece in my colors with lots of hearts and a how does your garden Grow pin.
Tea four U
And on my Art board I put her other Heart piece she made me.

framed and hung in my studio
I had started adding to this wall but it was sadly lacking in warmth and Lynn's Art quits added that warmth.
Thank you so much Lynn
I spent some time cleaning up messes before she got here so I decided to photograph where I sit and email. This room is also my dressing room since our closets are so dinky Con has our bedroom closet so I got this one and my dresser.. Which was my parents and I painted all to match in here.

On with Lynn's Visit

Lynn asked me to make a cherry cobbler when she came so I did.
I also invited them to come for lunch since they would be here about that time.
So we had a nice visit and fixed some sandwiches, ate outside and the had some cherry cobbler inside.
For some reason my photos wont move for me now. so I am stuck where they land.
Is anyone else having that problem?

My second cobbler came out much better.
LOL
She spent most of her time getting attention.
Then it was time for them to leave and go on to visit with their long time Friend a town away and our visit was over.
Not very much.
:))
We enjoyed every minute of it.
Bye till next year. Please come again.

It was such a good visit Cris. Thanks again for lunch. I so enjoyed actually sitting in your beautiful garden, finally SEEING all the flowers you write so well about. It did not seem like a year between visits either. Just old friends getting together in person after a long spell of emails and blog posts! Love seeing my art hanging in your studio! I am honored to have it there.
We just got home today late and I am staying awake by force...not wanting to end the "vacation", as work starts in the morning. It was such a good trip and our visit with you and Con a definite highlight to be long remembered and cherished.
Ohhhhhh how great is this! Is it already one year later...? I can't believe it. And again, I wish I were there too:) Lovely gifts and what a nice sunny day to surround you all, there in your beautiful garden!
Thanks for sharing this precious moment
love

aaaw how time flies, i remember this very meeting last year too. how special is that, to meet and see your 'penpal', a rare pleasure. and how lucky is lynn to sit in your wonderful garden...sigh...'making new memories' is what it's all about.
What fun to be able to visit in person with one of our fellow bloggers espceially one bearing such lovley gifts.
I'm glad you had such a fun visit with Lynn. It's nice when we can meet and share in person. And Annie has a new friend now, too.
Your little studio looks so pretty, with all the matching furniture and handmade curtains. I like your bulliten board with all the art hanging on it.
Isn't it true that visits seem to fly by--but what a nice visit you had. Lovely things she brought you and your cobbler and room are wonderful. Your newsy posts are always a fun read, Cris. I smile ear to ear hearing about your latest hijinks.
Lovely visit - so glad you got time together - but me..I'm lusting after that cherry cobbler!
Between your post and Lynn's I feel like I was there with you oohing and aahing over all the beautiful art. What a wonderful friendship you two are enjoying. To meet a blogging friend is so special. So happy for you both and thanks for sharing.
How sweet is life when fellow art bloggers can meet and chat the afternoon away in the fresh outdoors, share friendly moments and artwork...and taste good lookin' homemade cobbler to top it all off! Ahhh! Truly Bliss! :)
Oh what a lovely post, how great to be visited by a blogger again. You obviously had a great time between you and what lovely gifts Lynn brought. That cobbler looks gorgeous. Mmmmm. Lucky Lynn and Cris.
Thank you everyone. The visit was such fun and so much fun antisipating. Now I need some new thing to look forward too. :))
