rainy days and mondays

     Another day of getting called off from work. #$%^$ that's about how I feel about that.

     On the other hand...I am ever so ever so ever so ever ever ever so grateful that the loss of income does not bring me fear. Just makes it hard to get ahead and plan. Ahhh well.

     It also allows me more time to create! So here is todays bit of art. Love the Nature's Walk 

set by Stampin' Up!

     And I finally got around to uploading pix of some of my card creations of the last week. Enjoy!

 I seem to be liking my little baby pearls lately.

A photo does not do justice to this last card. The coloring is so soft and pretty, the expresso brown layer is embossed and this is an oversized card about 5X7 maybe.

Hope you are finding a peaceful way of redeeming your day. Monday's are hard to do that with sometimes, aren't they? 

And one final little note for your monday pondering;

Some people change when they see the light.

Some people have to feel the heat.

Just a thought I borrowed from some unknown but wise source. 

Thanks for stopping by.

questioning my beliefs

     Introspection can be a crooked trail with snaggy thorns and jagged stones that slow you down and trip you up, pull you towards slimy memories and painful broken promises. But that is the treacherous path I'm choosing currently. Discovery is sharp sometimes, piercing even. And I am finding that some of the beliefs I have held onto are faulty. Some are firmly grounded and some just need to be buried along with the people who hammered them into my psyche while I was a child. Digging through the mud and the grime is my chore and a hopeful excavation.

And along the road I will continue to create and smile and encourage others towards the same. So here is a few of my latest cards.

 Hope your day is peaceful.
