My blog books have arrived

The two blog books have arrived. This is section two from July 1, 2011 to December 30, 2011.  138 pages in total. They are done in sections. Section one from January 1 to June 30, 2011 was received in early July. It's very satisfying to receive these books, because they are well done. This life will go on even after she is gone. What a wonderful trip.




The next one below is for participation paintings on:  
Paint Party Friday.

A total of 58 pages. The book has been titled:

Gloria's Blog Viva La Vida- My Paint Party Friday Contributions.

There is credit given to Eva and Kristin for hosting PPF,  in the acknowledgments section,  but the picture taken of the acknowledgment section was too blurry. It was uploaded anyway so you can try to see it.


(One can't blame the camera when one doesn't know how to take pictures.)

A total of 58 pages. The book has been titled:
Gloria's Blog Viva La Vida- My Paint Party Friday Contributions.

The date on this book below,  is from March, 11 to the last Friday of 2011.
How cool is that.


Here's some of the pics in the book.



It's always so exciting when they come in the mail. Another section of what goes on in this life and around in print.

  2. Wow, lady, you're published!! LOL What a great legacy you're leaving. I've never considered publishing any of my rantings because, well, they're rantings!! LOL Speaking of which, I need to post another one right now, but I'm busy with art, my mother and maybe a trip to Austin is in my immediate future due to the soon-to-be introduction to my granddaughter, Zoe. Apparently, my daughter's mother-in-law is driving them all nuts and my grandsons are begging their mother for me to come "rescue" them!! LOL Don't know since airfare has exceeded my budget, but we'll see what next step I need to take.

    Have a great week and love the book.

    Abrazos,
    Georgina

My New Revolver Ball 10/19/11

(Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
