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

This is my favorite since i work with a big bunch of children at a elementary school:
"A child is like a piece of paper on which everyone leaves a mark."

Far more than what we posses...

My favorite quote:

My favourite quote is: "Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life." Love it and try and live by it on those days when there never seems to be enough time

I just love your blog & continually have it open on my PC for the great music! You're always my first port of call for inspirations & this posting is yet again another gorgeous design....so a quote to you from me for your great music...
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Day Is Done

Wowzah!! I love it!!
My favorite quote (it's kinda long) has always been this one from Rainer Maria Rilke:
I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Thanks so much!!

"Why not go out on a limb-hat's where the fruit is."
Another one?
"Patience is the art of hoping." -Luc de Clapier

I've got a little collection of quotes but my favorite right now is: "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." I wish I knew who said it so I could give credit but it's a nice sentiment anyway.

That is a very pretty creation. My fave quote is,
"No matter where you go, there you are." It's from a movie, but I can't remember the name at this moment.
Posted by: Tonia | February 25, 2009 at 08:32 PM
oh wow, you ARE so generous! I don't have much hamble at all, but I lOVE it! Fave quote:
Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you might just miss it!" Ferris Beuler. I LOVE that movie and this is soooo true :)
Thanks for the chance to win

oh my gosh, THAT is freaking gorgeous. and you know that pile of hambly made me all ... somethin' inappropriate. mmmhmm. here's my fave ever quote, which i may or may not have previously shared with you:
The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. -- Jack Kerouac

OMG!! I love hambly so much! That is one amazing RAK. And that OLW project of yours is so gorgeous! It is so vintage and beautiful!
I can't remember where I found/heard this quote, it was from a long time ago, but has always stuck with me.
I will not act as a lady
as I am told
I will have adventures
I will be scarred and bold
Thanks for having a RAK!

Not sure if it's my fave but one I heard this morning which is very true:
"To be old and wise you have to have been young and stupid".

WAY COOL RAK!!
