Q28:what are your favorite days of summer filled with?
Well, as you can tell, my favorite days have not been filled with blogging! I find it SO hard to blog when the kids are home, maybe because now more than ever I realize my time with them is rare and precious, and I tend to drop everything to be with them. But now, I'm back :) For this tag I used rubber stamps, micron pen and colored pencils.
Q29: do you have a recurring dream?
I used: fabric, wallpaper, paper lace, stamens, a pompom, ribbon and a label maker...
Q30: who do you need to thank?
This started with a tiny little thank you card that Julie Collings had sent me...I just LOVE Julie's perfect little handwriting and had saved it...
I rubber stamped the tag, stapled Julies card to the end with ribbon and a piece of black scalloped paper underneath so it would stand out. And who do I need to thank? Well, my parents for everything, and you guys for taking the time to read about it!
Hope you all have a great day!












Every time I see your tags, I am inspired to make my own. Yours are so pretty. I'm a little late with the 52 weeks project as I haven't started at all. lol. Maybe I'll try catching up in December.

Well "thank you" very much, but it's really not needed as it is MY pleasure to come here and read all about what's going on in Duda quarters!!!! ;)
I love your artsy-ness in your tags. I love the way each one is SO different and reflects what "mood" you are in at that time.
Glad you are back...I hate competing with the kids! JUST KIDDING!!! :)
Like I've told you before...you ARE the best Mom!!!!

What beautiful tags! I've had a very busy summer, as well........but now I'm inspired to work on some projects I've had rolling around in the back of my mind. I've enjoyed your "question" series, and the photos of all your creations.
Best Wishes,
Kay

Suzanne, your tags are such a source of inspiration...I love how unique each one is, but how you can still tell you created them all. Your color sense, whimsy, and use of a variety of textures are watermarks of your style. I LOVE them all...but I am particularly fond of "DREAM"...those colors speak to me today. Thanks for the continued inspiration - and welcome back. You were missed, but what you were doing with your kids has far more importance and impact. Anyway, even your absence was in a way an inspiration and reminder...to keep the big things the big things...and the little things will keep...
Hugs & Blessings,
Becky S.

I love the Q52 tag project. I'm hoping I can start my own next year.
I love having my kids around. Hard to do anything that takes time away from being with them. They are 25 & 22 and I am so thrilled when they want to visit home! Luckily when they are home they like to do things like family game night!
