you really don't know when and where it will strike but if you stay open, you'll begin to see it everywhere.
Some time this week, a kindred spirit in the creative world, a good friend Jessica of Sweet Eventide, shared a link with me to this wonderful inspiring poet, songwriter, performer, and she dabbles in all aspects of art-making, Tanya Davis.
This made my day, brought smile and reminded me why i do what i do. I am also dedicating it to all of the you {artists out there} who know this, believe it, and live it, and on the days where you aren't feeling it, you are reminded to reach for it again.
These days i feel like a broken record ~ THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Can you say it too much? Nope. I don't think so. I have friends like YOU that go above and beyond in thoughtfulness, who take the time to write me email, and leave me beautiful comment on my Leica M6 inspired camera/film roll cozy, while keeping up with your own lives, business and blogs. THANK YOU! You are my inspiration.
Big weekend ahead. Somewhere along the way, i've developed big plans for my creative productivity, which seems to stress me out or energize me depending on where i happen to fall on the caffeine intake scale. Have a wonderful sweet weekend lovely friends! Love to you!
Oh I just adored that - so very clever! creativity production this weekend huh? wish I could think like that, but I am off away for fun so no complaining.
hope you have a blessed weekend and love every minute of it!

Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing! By the way, I love your camera cozy. It sounds you created it just for a gift, but you could totally sell those!

dear sweet J-I have seen this video before and it is so amazing! I am so glad that you are so full of ideas and dreams and inspiration...I know it can all get totally overwhelming but I think breaking it down into small pieces helps. I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you have planned.
Also...thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my blog the other day. You gave me so many great ideas for writers block. The next time it happens to me, I will take your advice!
