*** The Romantic *** Blog Background

Well, this is my first blog background I created for one of my blogs "The Romantic" {http://theromanticartist.blogspot.com/} funny thing is I am having a problem uploading it. I believe it's all to do with my image addy....will see....calling the kids to my rescue...ha!
Tried to create something along the lines of "National Treasure" the movie and a fellow Flickr artist seriykotik but far from capturing the effect....still so much to learn; but I must say I am totally immersed in this medium of art.....so satisfying! Any critique is very much appreciated....always room for improvement. HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND!!!!

*** SeaHorses Avatar ***

*** Vicki's Bit-o- Earth *** Blog Banner

Hi Vicki.....Finally figured it out....where there is a will there is always a way!

I posted a larger version on my new blog for testing new banners so if you come here before reading your email please go to http://theromanticartist.blogspot.com/.
This is where I will test run my banners before sending them out.

The seahorse was made in Dreamweaver by me and took me quite sometime to figure out a way...a secret. So glad I was able to get you one ...little ones could be possible if you like but I think there is a lot going on at the moment so maybe something would have to be removed to make room.....just a thought. So this is it....what do you think?

P.S. ~~~~~ *Look* ~~~~ can you find the surprise???
Will work on your avatar tomorrow and will talk to you very soon.

Nightie, night ~^..^~

*** True Love ***

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true


A little inspiration from the song “True Love” by Cole Porter and sung by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly. I first heard the song in the movie “High Society” starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
Grace Kelly received her first and only gold record with this song and Bing Crosby his 21st.

Love and passion of roses, love for cherubs and twinkling stars, love of the secret garden of my dreams…love of all God’s creations we find pleasure in...Enjoy the song


Suntanned, windblown
Honeymooners at last alone
Feeling far above par
Oh, how lucky we are

While I give to you and you give to me
True love, true love
So on and on it will always be
True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothin' to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true

Well, I think I have finally charmed my daughter to giving it a whirl at selling her art on Etsy. She has made me three blog banners so far and working on one for me. It would be lovely when she makes a sale but for the time being she is exploring her gift of arresting inner visions that I can’t begin to imagine. She seriously surprises me every time;you're quite a unique girl my dear Emma.
