UPDATE : 23 March 2020
A Note From Marie
To my fellow bloggers I am sending my first bulletin regarding my situation, health-wise.
I deeply appreciate the good wishes you have sent me and it is touching to know I'm not forgotten. I have had a very illness-free life so it was a surprise when I had a life-threatening medical emergency necessitating surgery followed by two months in hospital and another 4-5 months under the care of a hospital-in-the-home service. I am improving from day to day. I am pleased to report that I have regained strength in walking (now without aids) and I am becoming more independent and almost well enough to cope with living alone.
My daughter saved my life in so many ways. She refused to give up on me and she nagged and bullied (in the nicest possible way)and persuaded me to believe the fight was worth fighting. She lives in the same street only a minute or two away if help is needed.
My problems melt into insignificance with the pandemic now affecting the lives of every person living on the planet. I wish you all a safe journey through the mayhem of life changing rules and the attack on the economy.
A big thank you to all of you for your thoughtfulness and good wishes.
From Marie aka Ozstuff

So have fun and come show us what you make.

Proving that we aren't robots
We are receiving quite a few comments regarding the necessity to prove that we aren't robots when leaving comments. In the good old days this wasn't a problem but, since the format has changed to very difficult to read numbers and words (sometimes impossible,) it sometimes takes several attempts to get the code right.
If there is a possibility that you are willing to disable this function it would be much appreciated. There doesn't seem to be a problem with spam for those bloggers who do not use the code check. Thankyou!

THREE MUSES - WEATHER OR NOT
Hi, it's me Ann, and this week I'm challenging you to create art that reflects the weather where you live.
For me that's an umbrella and raindrops and threatening skies but perhaps you will show me sunshine, bright colours, holidays at the beach, alfresco eating or even a rain dance or two. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve.
Above all enjoy making art and come show us what you create.
Have fun!

Three Muses - Frames
I've always had trouble choosing just the right frame for anything. This is an over-exaggeration of the problem! I'm looking forward to seeing how all of you have used frames in your art this week. I know you'll be creative!

with this challenge! ............ Bev

Three Muses Challenge - Architecture
This week our theme is "architecture". This sample shows that the addition of one or two digital brushes (or rubber stamps) add greatly to an otherwise simple design. As mentioned in the Sneak Peek, the word architecture covers a wide range of backdrops - buildings, or part thereor, doors, windows, arches, interesting walls. The list is endless. Have fun!!
