A beautiful mess

 

I scrapbooked. That should be a miracle in itself. But I scrapbooked about me again. Yay!

 I love the mixed fonts and messy spray inks:

 Fabric and felt flowers:

 I watercolored some of the flowers on my paper:

 And some hidden journaling:

 

I'm entering this into the Zeus and Zoe April challenge which is "Life as it is now".



Create

create:

 

to be engaged in creative work

to produce through imaginative skill

to cause to come into existence

to be the cause of

 to produce or bring about by a course of action or behavior

to evolve from one's own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention

----------------------

I have decided that create will be my word for the year.

Yep. I jumped on the word-of-the-year bandwagon. :)
 

 And to remind me of this word I made this bracelet that I can wear almost every day.

It's a leather bracelet I found at Michael's. I stamped my word into a metal Vintaj plate and attached it with some white quilting thread (yes, that used to be white!) To make the words pop more I added some white paint and wiped off the excess.

 

Here it is on my skinny little wrist.

 

Excpet it's usually piled on with more like this:

 

And I chose this word not only because I want to create more art, but because I'd also like to concentrate on creating the following:

 

* a healthy marriage

* a happy home

* delicious meals

* an atmosphere of love in our home

* happy memories for the kids

* a sense of worth

* good deeds

 * more time in the word and with God

* a great circle of friends

 

Well, I could go on. But there you have it.
