I have a dear friend and outstanding artist, Terry Garrett. A package arrived from him yesterday and opening it was equal to any Christmas.

A while back, I sent Terry a red, folded 6x15" heavy cardboard from an advertising catalog that I had from my (Mom and no Pop) advertising days. (I wish I had thought ahead to photograph what he started with) In purging, I found it and knew Terry would do something great with it.

I was putting Terry's June artwork into the stand-up frame, and ;looked back at years of his beautiful months all the way back to 2915. Each month with its own artwork What a treasury. 

If you read this blog, you may remember me going to Las Vegas with artists Irene Rafael, Brian Kasstle, John Arbuckle, Terry Garrett for a four day art retreat in a rented 5 bedroom home. Terry is especially skilled at 3-D work and he sent me a 5x5" folio ...

which opens up to 5x11" and then to 5X15"

... and the sections open up to a 2 page letter.

 So much time and work, I am a very lucky fan, and friend. 

      Thank you, Terry!

One advantage of the sorting, rearranging and purging, for me, is that I am finding things that I thought were lost?

Several years ago, Courtney gave me a really large selection of US stamps. They are all unused, new and older, but I had plans, still do. I used to do stamp people, but that was quite a few years ago.
