I am responsible. Although
I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my
attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad
things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of
my life. I can
choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I
can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have -
life itself.
Been making cards again and thought this was the perfect place to keep copies. I have been practicing using just ink. Not normally my style but sure is fun to play with. These are starting to look the same. Now I want to try new colors and a couple different techniques. Learning and playing!
This year for my sister's birthday I stole an idea right out of one of my favorite magazines, Cloth, Paper, Scissors. This doll is a little on the creepy side but was so much fun to make. Although Linda will probably rename her, I called this little gal Gina after the Italian beauty Gina Lollobrigida.
In the mail this weekend was a package of goodies from Linda who has been hosting some monthly swaps at A Swap for All Seasons. Every month a lucky someone wins a prize. I was the July winner! Look at the fabulous things that were sent my way. Thank you Linda!
