You believe me now when I tell you I am the luckier one?
.
I still have not gotten over the thrill of the Cuppa Cuppa Tree and she sends me a Happy Mother's Day gift, beloved Friend-Sister Bella Sinclair who lovingly drew two adorable little girls holding ginkgo biloba leaves. The Ginkgo is an ancient tree saved from extinction by the Buddhist priests. I was drawing my first leaf series when Bella came to my life. What an auspicious project - drawing a living tree and finding life with a new friend!
.
Bella and I started blog/visiting/commenting with each other several months ago and I think it was sometime in August of 2008. However, it wasn't until later when we started getting to know each other when one day she saw a change in the tone of my illustrations and my posts and offered an ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on. Thank you Sweetie!

W.O.W. You are simply amazing! What incredibly lovely and detailed drawings you have. I wish I had your level of patience. These must have taken a long time to ink.I love looking up at a canopy of leaves, too. I get myself dizzy that way. And I like your fascination with windows. I have a fascination with doors! I will definitely be back for more ooohs and aaaahs.

.My life has been so much happier ever since! This is what makes blogging fun. I find brilliant (she is truly I a shining star - I am sworn to secrecy and she is so humble) talented women like her who brightens my days and makes me laugh and love life. I met so many wonderful women through Bella because she attracts these gifted and talented artists with her most adorable and incredible illustrations and genuinely fabulous personality. I am so darn lucky!

Thank you! Thank you!!!

YEAHHH!
Definitely very lucky - the pair of you!! Beautiful illustration from Bella for you and a magnificent moleskin from you to her! And you're now making another - I just don't know when you find the time - you probably don't need too much sleep!
Aw, man! Ces, girlfriend, sister. You know I love you to itty bitty pieces, but if you keep doing stuff like this, I...I...
...I'll have to stop coming here for, like, a whole several hours!
Look. I have no neck.
Caroline, I admit my sleep gets ruined sometimes but in its place is an incredible time of laughter and pure joy!
Hahahahhaha! I will die during those few hours! I me (in the drawing). I love you too (in the drawing and real one)
I just found your blog through Bella's and you two really are very lucky - and very talented. I will be back often!! :) Silke
Hello Silke. Any friend of Bella is a friend of mine, so welcome!
And next time, Silke, bring some more of that yummy goodness you are eating in your avatar. You have to bring enough for everyone, didn't your teacher ever tell you that?
;)
I know. I went to her blog but I was kicked out. There must be something going on with thrid party html programs. I blew up her avatar and I burst out laughing because she looks so happy eating that delicious sandwich! YUM!
What a wonderful friend to have! Those two little girlfrinds with their Ginko leaf fans are so adorable. Bella really is an artiste extrordinaire...but then, so are you Ces.
Hi Ladies!! I have known of you both through Renee of coarse - whom I adore.
But my first experience with you both was an email asking if I could do something as a group for Renee - from both of you sweet souls!!
As I was checking out a few new blogs this week I realized - I wasn't following either of you - how I am clueless!! But now I am.... you both amaze me, you really do!! How wonderful it is to see folks making such amazing connections here! I do love the blogs!!
Here is to a long and deep freindship between you!!
BTW love both of your artwork - amazing ladies!!
Namaste, Sarah
oh you both are divine!!! I love that you are so wonderful and I am so thrilled to have met you both....
Bless your hearts!!!
hugs
Diana
Congratulations!
That's how a friendship should start and blossom.
Ces, you are so lucky to have Bella as your mutual friend.
I best wishes that your friendship will continue to blossom to another greater height.
Thank you for dropping by to my site. Through Bella, I know you.
You all are very wonderful and talented lady!
Happy and be thankful always!
So very blessed! It's a joy just watching from the other side. I love the fact that technology can be used to help the human spirit soar beyond boundaries of distance. There are so many beautiful souls out there. **blows kisses** Deborah
Beautiful piece from Bella! You have such a great friendship! Two peas in a pod!
I love love love that picture. You look like sisters! oh!
Ces I am going with it is a tie. You are both wonderful and beautiful and strong and intelligent women.
I adore the picture of the two of you. It couldn't be any cuter and magical if it tried.
Okay, I think I am the judge and I say that it is a love/love relationship and you both have won the biggest prize there is.
Gorgeous.
This makes me smile so much and shows us what a small world it is and that no matter where we are that like finds like.
You are both beautiful.
Love Renee xoxoxo
Arija, my dearest friend. That is the cutest drawing ever! It can’t get any cuter! Do you see Bella’s precision? She can draw a straight line! And the ginkgo leaves – what a great symbol she used!
Hello Sarah! I am so glad you joined us in celebrating Renee’s birthday. That was so much fun. It was so fun to see her so happy. I think Bella will agree with me that it probably made us happier! Yes, an amazing connection indeed all this time and we have not discovered anything dysfunctional yet. HAHAHAHAH! Just kidding.
…and add to your Divine description Diana, no other than yourself because you are indeed divine!
Hello Yoon See! Thank you very much and I am so happy to see you here and for your kind and gentle words. There is nothing more that I would love than to see our friendship reach new heights although I am only 5 feet 4 inches tall and shrinking. Hahah!
Deborah, do join us sometimes. You can teach Bella, Renee and me a dance step or two! I prayed for Private Ryan yesterday.
Hello Manon! I like two peas in a pod except pods have many peas so are you next to us because we would love that.
Marie, yes! We are sisters!
Renee, yes Ma’am! I love you.
I love this of you two little dolls.
Oh shit, one of my sisters just came in and is calling me.
Ciao xoxoxo
Hahaha Renee, you are funny. Go see your sister!
Sweet double trouble the two of you*!*
I love that term Double Trouble, I like that. Thank you Bimbimbie!
