Sometimes we all need a little PUSH!

I've been participating in a GREAT on-line 6 week workshop that is provided through THE BRAVE GIRLS CLUB  called  SOUL RESTORATION  if you click on that link - you can find out how you can participate in the next 2 upcoming workshops.  There is an AMAZING group of women who are running this workshop, and women from ALL OVER THE WORLD are participating.  The workshop is very powerful and soul searching.  It causes you to stop, think, reflect, and realize what is really important in your life - and helps me personally to realize that it is OK to feel like I am important too!  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

That is why I feel the need to share the horoscope that was in the newspaper yesterday.  Now, I don't usually read my horoscope, as most of my reading lately is on-line, and rarely do I have the occasion to have access to an actual printed newspaper!!! - but yesterday, there was one in the lunchroom in our office, and I happened upon it while turning the pages.

I'd like to share it with you now - because I think the message doesn't just apply to me, or just to yesterday.
I think it is a great philosophy and a positive message for everyone!

"There is no time to waste.  Put your ideas and plans into motion and refuse to let emotional issues slow you down or stand in your way. You stand to improve your status, your position and your future. Success awaits you."

How true this is!  YOU are the one who determines where you will go in life, and how you will deal with "things" that are not always easy. YOU are the one who makes choices and decisions.  If you don't make any - you will go nowhere and be stuck where you are.  This may not be a bad place, but if you wish for a change, it will only happen if you ACT and move forward.  Our days pass by so quickly, and should not be wasted. Always reach for the HAPPINESS that YOU DESERVE.  YOU ARE SO WORTH IT!

Have a wonderful day!

Gift for my Grandmother!

What does one get their Grandmother for Christmas - I am sure I am not the only one who had this dilemma!


Our Mom-Mom is such a sweetheart, and I LOVE her VERY MUCH!  She is ALWAYS supportive and
proud of each and everyone of her "clan" and thinking of her always makes me smile.


She had this photo from a magazine that her brother sent to her, and mentioned to my Mom, that she would
like to have it framed.  Well, my Mom told her she would bring it to me to see if I could do something with it.


The caption under the photo reads:


A wise old owl sat in an oak, the more he saw
the less he spoke, the less he spoke the more he heard
why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
                                                     - an old proverb


This photo and saying remind her of her brother and I wanted to do something special with it for her.


So I made a canvas for her -  it measures @ 12" x 16"

First I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist - Sunflower, Electric Blue and Brick

Next I added a piece of Basic Grey's Curio~ Camelia paper, and added as spritz of Glimmer to it too! This paper has special meaning, as Mom-Mom has a Magnolia tree in her yard that was always our Pop-Pop's favorite!

Here is the finished piece.  The "Listen and Heart" Letters are Tim Holtz Grungeboard, the flowers and rhinestone swirls are Prima, the owl and wings and large chipboard swirl are Tattered Angels. The photo is on a black cardstock mat, on top of a mat made from Basic Grey Curio~Muslin and the edges were treated to some yummy Ranger Distress Ink - Vintage Photo.

the embellishment by the photo is an Artisan Element by Pink Paislee which was colored with Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glaze, as was the Tattered Angels Swirl the Owl is sitting on.

The LISTEN charm and chain are by Tim Holtz, and the dangling beads are from an old necklace!

Mom-Mom LOVED the canvas - I hope you do too!

Drop me a line / leave me a comment - let me know you were here!

THANKS!
Sherri
