PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOURAGED ME...THE HAPPY MEMORIES OF THE PICTURES OR EMBELLISHMENTS..SO JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU... CAN YOU SPOT THE GUY IN THE PICTURE AT THE TOP...THE GENTLE SOUL IN OUR HOME...AND ALWAYS OFFERING A GENTLE..LOVING..PLACE TO DROP YOUR HAT! IF YOU HAVE NOT MET HIM...YOU HAVE MISSED...
THE SHELVES ARE FULL OF EMBELLISHMENTS DONATED BY FRIENDS..BOXES LEFT ON MY DOOR STEP BY MY FRIEND WANDA.. 'A "FORK" FROM MY FRIEND DEBBIE WHICH HOLDS THE INSTRUCTIONS I AM TRYING TO FOLLOW ..AT TIMES...AND JUST ODDS AND ENDS SAVED AND GIVEN TO ME BY MANY FRIENDS AS I PUT TOGETHER THIS CREATIVE JUNGLE!! AND THIS IS JUST ..ONE..OF THE SHELVES!!
THIS PIECE...WAS FOUND AND GIVEN TO ME...AND I HAVE USED IT SO MANY TIMES INCLUDING ON MY LAST BOOK. THE BOOK WAS FOR THE 'OTHER SON'. ONE WAS THE AUTHOR THE OTHER IS AN ARTIST..TALK ABOUT INTIMIDATING ( INFO ON MY LAST BLOG). BUT I LOVE ALL THE WORDS ON THIS CARD. ONE SUGGESTION WHICH ISN'T ON THERE..IS TO JOIN A MIXED MEDIA GROUP..AND MEET SOME OF THE MOST CARING AND CREATIVE. ARTISTS....AND ABOVE ALL..THOUGHTFUL AND SHARING OF THEIR OWN TECHNIQUES..WANTING TO SEE YOU GROW..HELPING YOU EVERY STEP!!

WHO DIDN'T SIT DOWN AND CRY WHEN HE CAME HOME AND FOUND HIS GORGEOUS OFFICE FURNITURE GONE..AND A STUDIO IN ITS PLACE. IF HE LEARNED ANYTHING IT WAS NOT TO GO AWAY ON A BUSINESS TRIP WITHOUT SOME EXPECTATIONS ON HIS RETURN. TOMORROW WILL BE 48 YEARS WE HAVE SHARED MEMORIES TOGETHER.
OF COURSE THERE ARE LOTS OF ANGELS SITTING ON THE SHELVES..ALL DIFFERENT

SIZES AND COLORS..WHICH I LIKE TO USE AS 'KNOBS' ON THE BOXES..IN THE BACKGROUND IS A PICTURE OF MY MOM AND DAD..TAKEN YEARS AGO!! PEEKING OUT OF THE SHELF..BUT I CAN SEE IT CLEARLY EVERY DAY.
THIS SPACE ON THE SHELF MAY BE TINY, BUT IN "HEART" SIZE..ITS BIG..CAUSE IT HOLDS GIFTS FROM A FEW OF MY FRIENDS...THE PUMPKIN DOLL FROM SANDY, THE FRIENDSHIP WORDS FROM CHERYL AND THE BLESSING LAMB I FOUND SOMEWHERE..AND KNEW IT BELONGED ON THIS SHELF.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE SNOWMAN BOTTLE I MADE FOR MOM..SAYS ' PRETTY IS AS PRETTY DOES'..WITH A HAT AND ...WHAT...? THERE IS MOM IN THE BACKGROUND..CUTTING VEGGIES FOR SALAD!!! THATS WHERE MOM ALWAYS WAS..IN THE KITCHEN. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO..AMAZING HOW MUCH HAS HAPPENED TO HER IN ONE YEAR
SO. AS WE APPROACH THANKGSGIVING DAY..WE NEED TO SAY A PRAYER OF THANKS TO ALL THOSE IN OUR LIFE WHO HAVE TAUGHT US HOW TO BE THANKFUL AND NOT JUST TO KNOW IT..BUT TO GIVE IT..THANKS..TO EVERYONE WE MEET. IN EACH OF US THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR...AND TO BE THANKED FOR. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL READERS OF MY BLOG..AND THOSE THAT DON'T! CHEERS!
