Mothering Instincts Week Continues

Hi Everyone~

I wanted to share some altered art pieces that are in my Etsy shop...

They are ideas for Mother's Day for your mom--or for yourself!

Dreaming in Black and White Necklace

And, as Mothering Instincts Week continues, I have a question for you....What is the best advice your mom ever gave you?

As for me, my mom always reminded me of the saying, "This too shall soon pass." Those words have alot of truth. She'd say it when I was a teenager crying over a break-up or later in life if things got rough...Those words have stayed with me. I think her advice was something I could hold onto throughout my lifetime.

How about you? What is some sound advice your mom gave you?

The Magic of Believing

Hi Everyone--

My dear friend June at Dezinaworld has a challenge going on and the theme is "Magic" and it is up to us as to how we want to interpret the theme.

I chose "The Magic of Believing" and this tag and little match box were made for my friend Linda Adams at I'm a Random Creativity as she is celebrating a very special milestone on Monday and I wanted to join her in that celebration.

Here is the matchbox to go with the tag and I hope

it will be a memory of friendship that Linda will

keep for years to come. Please, if you get a chance

on Monday, visit her blog...I am certain that you

will be so thrilled to share in her news. (Trust me,

it is amazing.)

And, there's a little something inside too--a sign

of faith.

My friend Joyce from The Bear's Blog is the winner of

the "Purse"Journal--congratulations, Joyce! And I love

how you said you would make it a scriptural journal...

how wonderful!!!

Wishing everyone a beautiful Sunday!

"A Woman's Journey" Giveaway

My friend Anna at Frosted Petunias is having

The Artful Bag Challenge!

I created this piece entitled "A Woman's Journey."

It is not only a "purse," but also a journal for a

woman to write her personal thoughts inside.

Here is the back of it, which is also ready to write on.

If you would like to win it, just leave me a message on

here and tell me what you'd like to write about inside.

I will have the drawing next week some time!

Also, Anna's challenge is going on all month if you'd

like to join in the fun and make a purse out of paper.

I am also linking this up to Rednesday!!!
