I received a much awaited package in the mail yesterday. All the way from the Netherlands! It was just a small package, but filled with such beauty and wonderful whimsy.
In it was a small original painting by artist TJ Lubrano. She is one awesome painter and a beautiful young lady, inside and out. Just chatting with her on the internet whether on Facebook or on her blog makes you smile. She’s full of life and love and lots of talent.
I fell in love with her paintings from the moment I saw one. I coveted one as my own and now I finally have one!
Go give her blog a look and tell her Jackie sent you! You will be impressed with her talent, then you will be bowled over by her bubbly personality. She herself is a work of art.
Thank you TJ, I hope to acquire many more of your wonderful works of art. Much love to you!

Ms. Jackie!! I got lost in the world of packing boxes yesterday and didn’t have time to go behind my laptop. This was such a lovely surprise. Thank you so, so much for taking the time to write a post and for your sweet words (and the super kind words of all your readers, too!). I’m BEYOND happy that you’re happy and that you loved the package ^_^ I’ve no idea if I mentioned it anywhere, but the very first layer of this painting is done with coffee. 🙂
Lots of love to you and a hug from across the ocean!
