I love the backgrounds you've made and the gorgeous colors--so festive! Any your ATC to celebrate the friendships at AVJ is a artful reflection of what it's all about. I'm honored to have been a small contributor both as one of your followers/participants and for the three years as a Creative Guide. Thank you for the opportunity! Best of everything in the coming year! I do hope you will continue to make marvelous stuff!

I adore the vintage Santa Claus with all the sparkle and your message filled my heart with happiness 😀. It's been such a pleasure working with you and being part of your team at A Vintage Journey!

It's been an absolute joy and an honour to be on this Vintage Journey with you for the last (almost) eight years. You generated a hub of creative warmth, support and inspiration that has had huge value not only for those of us lucky enough to be on the team but also, clearly, for all those who followed and participated. It's clear they're going to miss us, but I still have no doubts about it being the right decision. <br /><br />I wish you and yours a safe, peaceful, merry Christmas, in whatever form it takes, and I'll see you along the way in 2021.<br />Alison xxWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281158959714850865.post-12636497362636666112020-12-07T20:03:56.567+00:002020-12-07T20:03:56.567+00:00Brenda, let me start by saying your ATCs look wond...Brenda, let me start by saying your ATCs look wonderful, I love them all! But most of all I am here to say thank you for the last 7 years, for the initiative you took with AVJ and for inviting me to be part of the journey right from the start, - and what an amazing journey it has been! So many memories to treasure now. It is a sad good bye to the challenge, but I do hope it is an au revoir for some of the CGs.<br />Meanwhile I wish you all the very best for your personal journey, where ever it might take you!<br />And of course a wonderful and happy Christmas to you and Ken and all the family!<br />Astrid xxxAstrid Macleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489025428063136772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281158959714850865.post-51886391117327498512020-12-07T14:25:46.668+00:002020-12-07T14:25:46.668+00:00Hi Brenda Lovely to see your makes i have missed ...Hi Brenda Lovely to see your makes i have missed them over the past couple of months, enjoy your retirement and what ever path that takes you on and look forward to seeing your future makes xxQuirky Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615959722561302876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281158959714850865.post-19358209470711911762020-12-05T09:22:20.141+00:002020-12-05T09:22:20.141+00:00Hi Brenda xx I love your amazing ATC's and all...Hi Brenda xx I love your amazing ATC's and all the memories that they have behind them x It has been fantastic to be part of this amazing team at AVJ and I remember how thrilled I was when you invited me to join xx It has also been so nice to have met up with you on several occasions too x I do hope you get back in to your art Brenda as you are such an inspiration to many xx <br /><br />Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2021<br /><br />Love & Best Wishes<br />Annie xxAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581031888288730074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281158959714850865.post-47291086735260354672020-12-05T00:32:11.640+00:002020-12-05T00:32:11.640+00:00It's bitter sweet to end it, but I understand....It's bitter sweet to end it, but I understand.

Love the colors and stampings you used - and what gorgeous little ATC's you made from them - they certainly do deserved to be framed! and your farewell ATC is lovely in it's simplicity - thank you so much for taking a chance on a basically CAS designer and inviting me to be on the team 5 years ago - I have learned SO much from everyone at AVJ in stretching myself into vintage creativity and it has been so enjoyable meeting everyone from so many different places!

Sometimes I think of the first time we met, at MOM in Coventry, and you demoed long in to the evening. It was so inspiring. And I have also had the opportunity to meet you a couple more times at MOM. I’m grateful for that. Hope you will have a Merry Christmas. Hugs SusanneSusannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940815736118150377noreply@blogger.com
