MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

christmas ornament

i saw this ornament tutorial over at little glimpses studio and decided to give it a whirl.  i photocopied one of my paintings on cardboard to use as the image.  i am going to do my best to get a few more done as i think they'd not only be great tree ornaments, but i might use them for christmas present embellishments/tags. has anyone else made any christmas ornaments?

art time .... finally

i finally found some time to do art.  i usually don't do atc sized cards because i have so many already, but this morning that is exactly what i found myself wanting to work on.  i don't know if i'll ever tire of birds.  it seems most of my work is drawn to incorporating them some how.  i often wonder what it would be like to have wings to fly. i can only imagine the places i'd go. is there something you find yourself using a lot in your work?

and the winner is..........

a mini journal

my dear friend, danny, had an idea for a mini journal that is folded from one sheet of paper.  it really is the cutest little booklet.  the theme is text/quotes.  this is one my little spreads for the journal. 

this particular page is especially important to me, because just recently someone felt that by me following my bliss i was being selfish and not caring about anyone else other than myself. 

i realize that life is too short to find our value in anything or anyone outside of ourselves.  if there is one thing i learned (over and over again) in my life so far it is that we can't please everyone all of the time - it is most surely an impossible feat. howener, i do know we can love and honor ourselves for who we are.  i hope you will follow your bliss.
