new word up over at OLW...
i created this piece with stuff i had out on my desk...i forced myself to SEE things differently & challenge myself to SEE the beauty in the variety of mish mash of clutter that often bogs me down...
& speaking of clutter...i culled through my craft stuff this weekend & pulled out a ton of stuff that i no longer need...like for instance, i've got WAY too much hambly...
so i'm giving away a huge RAK this week including the above pictured stash of hambly & some other goodies that i'll throw in the box...
so if you are interested...just leave me a comment & tell me your favorite quote...
i'll choose a winner on friday :)
have a happy wednesday!
xoxo

who so believes in love, believes the impossible

Mine is actually from my favorite song. It is just so artful and beautiful. I love it.
Shake your hair out and come and dance with me
We are lonely with no good need to be
Where the river grows wide to kiss the sea
Floods the delta and lover’s eyes can see

WOW love your project, its simply gorgeous.
Thought I would share my fav scrapping quote from Rebecca Sower:
'Scrapbooking isn't about scraps of paper and photos. Scrapbooking is about scraps of life - yours and those special to you.'

Favorite Quote (at the moment): Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. - Mahatma Gandhi
Your project is so classy, really love it! =)
