Hi Friends,
OMG! where oh where has the time gone? I have been playing (okay, working!) with different mediums in my studio, watercolor, guache, acrylic, & illustrating with my pretty prisma colors creating lots of new designs and meeting deadlines. Do you ever play with different, maybe unfamiliar mediums when you're creating something? You know, I am a firm believer that playing opens our spirit up to creative discovery. Go ahead, color outside the lines today.
Okay, imagine my surprise, when I sat down (the 2nd time) to read my ME HOME COMPANION all the way through, and saw my name and my paper crafting products featured in its Pins and Needles layout. OMG! (Who designed these?)
They are just too wonderful there at ME Home Companion. Merci mes amies.
The serendipitous thing about all this is in my last post, I promised a special opportunity for you...while I can't show you the journal I designed (shh - don't tell anyone, but it's gonna be featured in the next issue of Crafts N' Things with some amazing design concepts by the very talented KeriLee Serika) I can share the special surprise . . .some BLOG CANDY. I have kept journals for years and right now I'm loving making them using my own paper products. We're giving away a complete collection of my Inspired paper collection, and a composition journal kit (including all the pretties needed) to design your very own special journal. A journal is a wonderful place to set goals, answer life questions, and keep track of your hopes, dreams and all that you are grateful for. Just leave a post and tell me what you are thankful for, and, if you're inclined to share the goodness, place this image
on your blog with a link back here, inviting your readers to do the same. We will post a winner on November 21st.
Today, I am grateful for all the usual suspects - my faith, and my family, for whom without I would not be where I am today; each time my girls tell me, "You are the best mommy in the whole world!" (even though I know I am not); my friends with whom I share laughter, starbucks and heartfelt thoughts; and my (hopefully) deep vessel of creativity that I am priviledged to express each and every day.
Your turn, what are you grateful for? Post your comment and you could be the lucky winner!
