KINSHIP IN BLOGDOM...

Greetings, dear reader!

You know how sometimes you discover someone in the world of blogdom with whom you have a certain instant connection? A kinship of sorts? Someone you might describe as a "soul sistuh?" I have found such a woman in Elizabeth of Bluebird Papercrafts!

I have recently received a box of goodies I can only describe as "a box of my heart's desires". Truly. Everything inside was so incredibly ME and yet, "E" as well!

Behold the color combo of my heart: Red and Aqua:



And the utter JOY of hand stitched sweetness:





Also, while making room for said red and aqua, this little item fell off the wall...I made it several years ago. You know how sometimes you begin a project and it just "evolves" and ends up being something so very "you"? This collage worked that way...It started out as a scrapbook layout, but I soon began doodling and painting and pasting and cutting and...well...voila. It's even got nuts and bolts! The photo is of a MUCH younger, thinner, longer haired me. Anyway, I love the color and the message "Don't Doubt." I was more inspired AFTER I created it than before! I love it when that happens!



Anyway, just a post to say how very blessed and fortunate I am to have found such kinship from this little blog...and such commradery among fellow paper artists!

More soon!
