Liberate Your Art... postcard swap

Kat over at Kat Eye Studio has hosted a postcard swap called Liberate Your Art. I participated last year and again this year. Here are the lovely postcards that I received this year:

Starting from the upper left corner to right these are the artist: Marji Thompson, Marilyn Lamoreux, Julie C Phillipps, Deborah Tisch, Valerie-Jael and from Kat our hostess. They are all so wonderful and in this day and age of technology, it is fun to get something in the mail. If you want to see more... come join the blog hop and see a great collection of postcards that were swapped.

Thanks for stopping by.... of to work I go.

my word for 2012.... Embrace

My word for 2012 is Embrace

My Flytribe from by Kelly Rae Roberts course this past summer is having a Word Hop. We have each chosen a word for the year 2012 and mine is EMBRACE. I chose this word for many reasons... I was getting ready for work one morning thinking about the word I wanted to choose, I was listening to Pandora. The song The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel came on (live version) and when I heard this verse:

Now the years are rolling by me

They are rockn' evenly

I am older than I once was

And younger I'll be and that's not unusual.

No it isn't strange

After changes upon changes

We are more or less the same

After changes we are more or less the same

I realized that you cannot change things out of your control that you must embrace them, that you and others have different ideas and you must embrace them and you are who you are and your personality really can't change... "We are more or less the same, after changes we are more or less the same..." as the song says and so, this year I will try to embrace things that change that are out of my control, embrace who I am and embrace decisions that are made by others that I may be fearful of.

As the year progresses, I will have embraced more only time will tell. I will ad more to my journal and more posts as the year carries on.

Come visit our blog and explore the links of my Flytribe members: Flytribe Word Hop and enjoy reading about my friends. I will also have a button on my page that you can always click on to follow the Flytribe Word Hop.

Hope your New Year has started off well and thanks for stopping by....

flying lessons.... blog hop

Fly and soar with new wings....

Grow and create and live!

Believe in yourself!

Earlier this year I purchased an e-book by Kelly Rae Roberts... it was based on her e-course Flying Lessons... later in the year she decided to offer the course again and I signed up. Now I had read the e-book from cover to cover already and was very excited about the course. One of the reasons I wanted to take this course was because I was becoming very unhappy at my work, missing being in a creative environment (used to own a quilt shop) and wanting to start a new business that I could supplement my income when I retire in a few years or so. In the past couple of years I have gotten my creative grove back (it had been lost for about six years) and with that my drive to do more with my creativeness... One of the best things that I have gotten out of this course is the friendships that are being developed in our group... and in this group we are doing a blog hop. I have gotten wings to fly and start heading on this path and the encouragement and kinship that is growing with this wonderful group is amazing. So go and take a tour and see the talent that abounds in this group.

And as always, thanks for stopping by and looking!
