Well, we can guess what I have been up to....cleaning my studio. Since, I have spent the last 2 months on Christmas items, I haven't had time to clean it. Papers, fabrics, etc., everywhere on the floor. I don't know how many times, I had to un stick something from my shoe...lol So, since I haven't had time to create art, I thought that I would share something that I received in the mail a few weeks ago. I have been asked, if I had made a New Year's Resolution, I think this one would sum it up for mine;
To laugh often and much, to win the
Respect of intelligent people and the
Affection of children, to earn the
Appreciation of honest critics and
Endure the betrayal of false friends, to
Appreciate beauty, to find the best in
Others, to leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden
Patch... to know even one life has
Breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!
~Emerson~
Lovely. The perfect resolution for a New Year. I hope it treats you well!

hi! hope you had a wonderful holiday season. love.love.love. the cream books, & see the one i love with the angel on the cover is still available...i just love it like i said in a previous post. still am considering it. we have had some medical issues & need to see an attny for my dads' estate since my brother is not being nice... so will know more by end of the month. and i guess if it is still available it is meant to be. i mentioned before that i found some old papers, remember i asked you about the smell... i am wondering how or if you can tell me how you can do the altered book thing... do you have a book out on it that i can buy? or pay you for the info? i was thinking of laying papers, fabrics out, then sewing up middle, then use old book covers or piece of leather or a billfold piece of grapas', etc. as a binding to hold it, then glue or sew that on? yours always look so good... just was wondering. thank*u hugs & blessings, vikki ♥
