"Wonderfully Made Eve" by artist Peggy Pilapil Lasa & "A Symphony of Seasons" by poet & author Connie Arnold

I have been very fortunate this year to win two giveaways.  

The first is an amazing piece of art by Peggy Pilapil Lasa.  "Wonderfully Made Eve" is full of light.  Eve is so lovely and indeed wonderfully made.  Her face is serene, joyful, and thoughtful all at once.  Also, I am very much a fan of flowers and the Birds of Paradise are beautiful as well.

To see more of Peggy's inspiring art, please visit her blog at http://peggyapl.blogspot.com/.


The second is this wonderful cd of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" from poet and author Connie Arnold.  Connie has written four books of poetry.  The most recent is "A Symphony of Seasons" celebrating music and the cycle of the seasons.  A fitting match between the Vivaldi cd and the poetry!

Here is one of her poems:

Every day there's a song
to be sung,
A song for peace and
an end to strife,
And for the joy and
beauty of life.

We each can have a song
to sing,
A song in winter and also
in spring,
A song for summer and
autumn days,
And for the Creator,
songs of praise.

I am thankful to both Peggy and Connie for their wonderful gifts, both in what they have given to me, and in the beauty of their works.

I am also inpsired by their generousity and I am linking this with Inspire Me Monday and Magical Monday Meme.

Hi Patsy, I didn't realize the two of you were related! Both of your blogs and art are filled with such light and love, and also you're both from the same place, so I should have had a hint ;). It is indeed wonderful to have won!
