Anna's Musings - UPDATE


(6th September 2007)

I have to go off-line in another couple of hours as we have people coming here for the evening, I still have to pack, and we are going away first thing tomorrow morning for a week - may be back Friday or Saturday next week, not sure.

Just spoke to my daughter, and she says their router has let them down, but they have a modem arriving tomorrow to see them through, and so long as this works, I will be able to get online, but if not, I will be offline for the whole time we're away (heaven hellllllp me when I get back if that's the case!!! :omg:). In the event that I'm able to get online, it will only be for short periods, however, just to answer messages and do essential things. There will be no features or articles from me and :icondwalker1047: will be uploading next week's interview on our behalf, so keep an eye on her journal too!

I'd like to also add that I'm very sorry I didn't get round to answering so many comments in those earlier News Articles until now, neither have I had time to read or make replies to anyone on my recent dream poll - the days have really just flown by and I seem to be forever rushing to get everything done! (Actually I'm just as busy as I ever was when I used to go out to work!!!!)

Please don't feel obliged to reply unless there's something essential to say, as I won't be able to keep up again, lol! Adopt the No Need to Reply policy if you can during this time!

End of Update!


*~*~*~*~*~*


Hi all! Quite a lot has gone on since my last journal update, and time is marching on!

:bulletred: Firstly, :icondwalker1047: has uploaded our joint interview of Costi :iconkosciarz: news.deviantart.com/article/33… so if you haven't already seen it, then please take a look and :+fav: it.

:bulletred: Secondly, and I'm sorry this has come a bit back-to-back, but as I'm away from Friday for the whole of next week, I have also uploaded my interview with Roz :iconrozrr: news.deviantart.com/article/33… - she is an extraordinary person once you get to know her, and I would like to invite you to read about her too and :+fav: this article also.

:bulletred: Thirdly, I have decided to do some Feature Articles by theme - this may be by color, by artists, or by media used and so on. I aim to upload these every Tuesday, starting with today's AnnaKirsten's Terrific Tuesday Blues . Don't forget, if you enjoy what you see, then please :+fav: it! Your artwork may even be there! :excited:

PRECIOUS GIFTS


It makes me feel so special when people give me pressies, so I will always display them in this section of my journal.




Her Secret Garden by Iardacil

(31st August 2007) I feel moved to tears at the generosity and thoughtfulness of my friend Kadri :iconiardacil: for having created such a beautiful, highly symbollic image, dedicated to me! Words fail me... Thank you So, So much! :hug: You could never have known just how much this would mean to me in so many ways!


:thumb63467230:

What a lovely surprise this afternoon (29th August) to find this lovely image dedicated to me by :iconxract:! Thank you so much for your wonderfully kind thoughts and consideration! I feel very blessed! :)

A Journal Dedicated to Me

by :iconleonalegria: 24th August 2007.

What an amazing and happy surprise this was! Thank you so much Leon! :hug:

Fall Is Coming... by anubis

A wonderful gift given today (10th August) by :iconanubis: to myself and several other people! How very beautiful and skillfully created this is! Thank you so much Tassos! :hug:

Kindred Spirits by EmberRoseArt

This beautiful picture created by :iconemberroseart: was dedicated to all cat-lovers, and I am most definitely one of those! I told her, and she has said that I am therefore included in her dedication. Such a lovely, touching picture!! Thank you so much for sharing it! :)


Rose by shaun-rules-4eva

What an honor to find this beautiful fractal made by :iconshaun-rules-4eva: gifted to myself, :iconphoenix75:, :iconlisarenee60046: and :iconinfiniteiterations: today (15th June)! It's so beautiful, and my grateful thanks to you, my friend for thinking of me in this way! :hug:

:thumb57134895:

WOW! I really do feel special today, having been gifted this absolutely beautiful Apo-flower by someone who has become a really lovely friend :iconphoenix75:! Thank you so much dear Kim! I'm smiling, and I've had a lovely day today too! This is like the cream on the cake! :)


Someone can gave me some peace by miss-angelicfairy

This beautiful picture, although it was not a gift directly to me, was made by :iconmiss-angelicfairy: for all her watchers and friends - I am one of her watchers, and so I feel I want to do her justice by displaying it. Thank you very much for being so thoughtful and producing such a worthwile piece of artwork (one of many) for us!


Thanks Anna by Xantipa2

How thrilling to be gifted this excellent fractal-artwork by my friend :iconxantipa2: today, (6th June)! Thank you so much - I so appreciate it! And it's always a huge pleasure to feature your works too, so here's at least one that's here permanently now! :)


Wild Fruit by Lilyas

Ohh what a wonderfully heart-warming surprise this was when I logged in this morning (22nd May) to find this beautiful picture gifted to myself and to nellis-eketorp by :iconlilyas: Thank you so much Lily, my dear friend! This will always serve to pretty up my journal, and you are indeed one of my "bestest" friends here at dA!! :blowkiss:


girl

This lovely gift was made specially for me by my dear friend Silky :icon1footonthedawn: a little while back, but she was never able to upload it, so she sent it to me by email. Here it is - it will probably take a minute or two to get into full flow, so be patient. I love it and cherish the fact that she so kindly thought enough of me when I had so admired one of her other gif images to make this one for me!




Such an uplifting surprise awaited me just now (17th May) when I was gifted this beautiful fractal flower by my sweet friend :iconvulcania:! Thank you so much for such a lovely and reciprocal friendship! :hug: :heart:


Elegant Tri-fold by anjaleck

What another wonderful surprise to discover this beauty gifted to me by :iconanjaleck: today (10th May)!! Thank you sooo much, you made my day!! :hug:




This stunning piece of artwork, produced in Ultra Fractal by :iconvelvet--glove:, was gifted to people who had given encouragement and positive input here at dA (8th May). Chris has since told me to feel free to consider myself as one of these people, and so here it is in my journal for keeps! I'm so proud to be able to display it here, and thanks to Chris for such a thoughtful and lovely gift to myself and others here! :)


:thumb54851963:

I found this really beautiful poem today (8th May) written by :iconmea2005: and dedicated to myself and three other special people! What a beautiful piece of writing - thank you so much - I'm enjoying getting to know you so much more lately through your writings and our correspondence!


:thumb54797843:

I just found this (7th May) fashioned for me specially by my dear friend :iconfractalinda:! What an amazing surprise and how uplifting, just at a time when I need a boost! Thank you so much dear Linda! :hug:


Where Fairies Live

A BIG Thank you goes to Neesa :iconreverieimages: for gifting these wonderful backgrounds to me! I am looking forward to using them - they are beautifully created and of very high resolution!


After the Storm by FractalEyes

What a very touching surprise it was to log on this morning (29th April) and find this beautiful gift made for me by Cerenity :iconfractaleyes:!! Look deep within it in its enlarged view, and there is so much subtlety and beauty within it - things that for me, are very deeply spiritual and meaningful! Thank you my dear friend, so much, for thinking of me as you created it! :hug:

*~*~*~*~*~*

This picture below has become a permanent fixture in my journal, I like it so much!



It is the face detail of "My Prayer For You" created by :iconjunkbyjen:
Her radiance is like that of an angel, but also depicts for me how I'd like to see myself in a perfected state! The glory is wonderful and God-inspired, created by a beautiful, loving soul! (See next picture below!)


::My Prayer for You:: by JunkbyJen

This beautiful picture was given by :iconjunkbyjen:, saying "For all my friends out there who need an extra bit of love, thought and prayer in there tough times. Much love to you all." (27th April)
I felt very much in need of just that, and so have included it here. :hug:sss Jen, you're a lovely, gentle and thoughtful person!


Kitten by 1footonthedawn

What a sweet and generous gift to me from :icon1footonthedawn: (19th April) with her words to me that I need to hang on to so much too, "Be Strong"! Thank you so much my dear Silky - and you know how much I just love kitties too! :) :hug:


Blue Heaven Wallpaper by 1footonthedawn

I wonder how many journals have this lovely picture by :icon1footonthedawn: included in them!
Silky created it for all those in pain.
As you know, there's physical pain and emotional pain.
The pain for me has mainly been emotional - even mental where certain individuals have thrown mental cruelty my way, but I have also known a lot of physical pain, and on a daily basis suffer from migraines through which I toil and push to get anything done!
Thank you so much Silky - once again! :hug:


Spiral for AnnaKirsten by Xantipa2

OMGosh! I found this one today (16th April), dedicated to me by :iconxantipa2: because she wanted to thank me for being so encouraging to her - but then I just so enjoy her wonderful fractal and abstract artworks! :hug:sss to you my friend!


:thumb53216088:

Ohh how lovely! I just received this new one today (15th April) from :iconfractaleuphoria: It's so precious, and so are you dear Hanne!

:thumb48218085:

This was made by my special friend, :iconfractalinda: for my birthday earlier this year. Linda is a longstanding friend from long before I became active here at dA, and also a Sister in the Lord in whom we mutually believe and have faith. Her gentleness of spirit, and her constant encouragement, both through her own art and things that she says, as well as the Scriptures she so often shares have been pricesless to me, and often broken a certain hardness of my own heart...


:thumb50636787:

This was dedicated to me by a dear friend, :iconrozrr:. We've known one another from other sites and have lots in common too. She is a precious soul!


Terragen: PINK by 1footonthedawn

This was made for a few of us, myself included, by :icon1footonthedawn: in celebration of the fact that we do not have breast cancer, 'though we each once faced this scare and went through the trauma of treatment of various kinds.




This was dedicated to me by :iconmayahs: because of the emotional response the image wrought from deep within me. So much of me reaches out to the girl in the boat as she represent so much of the pain and rejection I have felt, particularly in the early stages of my life and right through my childhood and teenage years. Every time I see it, I want to cry... And although I have problems of a different sort now, I'm so grateful that I now live in a peaceful place with a wonderful, loving family - and all my friends here who cheer me on and give me comfort when I need it!


For AnnaKirsten by Sophquest

This one was made for me by :iconsophquest: because of a newly formed friendship, and I just love her warm, loving heart! We also share a love of Sarah Brightman's simply breathtaking singing voice!

:bulletred: Have I missed anyone? Please let me know if I have, because I just have this niggling feeling... All because I didn't get things organised properly before now!

Please be assured that there is no bias towards any artist or art-form intended, 'though I do realise many of the people on my :+devwatch: get missed out from time to time.  This is partly because of theme layout, partly because I cannot :+fav: everything I love or I'd get overwhelmed by choice, but most of all, it's because of lack of time to sort things out in a more orderly way.
