Valentine

Keep your heart tender... to giving and receiving love. We cannot receive what we are unwilling to give.

Sometimes in life there is just something missing!

The other woman

Her mouth drips with honey while she seduces your man.

Be Still

I find peace in many different things.

Brayer Backgrounds

I have tried to many times to go to Sally Turlington's type pad account and it takes so long to get to the link. I hope you find it easier! http://sallyt.typepad.com/

Reflections

I was experimenting with some backgrounds to day which I want to use in one of my hand made journals. A very talented artist told me how to use a brayer and I tought it came out pretty well. I felt like doing something a little lighter than what I normally do and to use a stronger colour. There are so many things happening with my art at the moment that for a while I need to focus on the workshops I am preparing for.

In search of a rainbow.

How can we know light, if we don't experience darkness,  how can we have rainbows unless we have the rain?

Creative Licence

Dear Mr. Chip. The time has finally come to give you notice and request that you leave the premises of my mind with immedate effect. You have been sitting on my shoulder ever since I gave you the position in my creative space. You have worked diligently and pitched up to work faithfully... day and night... and you have done an exceptional job.... but your work is no longer required. Your position has been replaced with someone who has a different job discription to the one you have filled for so long.




Ms Encouragement will be taking over from you and I would like you to please leave and remove any of your garbage that you have left around in my studio. You set out to damage my confidence and tried to ruin my future, but since I am the one who calls the shots here, I no longer want any dealings with you at all, in any area of my studio or my life.



When you leave, please do not even look back.... I cannot honestly say that I wish you well where ever you may travel but would be happy to give references of your extremely good work to who ever might want to take you on board.... now please leave

Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps the singing bird will come. Chinese proverb
Do not despair when things don't go the way that you want, life has a strange way of teaching us that everything is just as it should be. We make mistakes so that we can learn. Nothing is by chance and nothing is ...'for no reason at all' ... just keep your heart open, and soon things will become clear.

Why would anyone want to have their handwriting analysed? Well in the old days, many people thought it was like fortune telling and most people had a 'thing' about that, not wanting to delve into the occult, most people poo pooed the science. But it is in no ways linked to the occult. Infact it is not a crystal ball for the future at all. Hand writing in forensics is admissible in court, so if it was classified 'fortune telling' then that would not be part of many investigations.
Let me explain. When a doctor studies medicine, when he is qualified he will then specialize in some field, and the same in law, well it is the same with hand writing analysts, they too will specialize in a particular field, for example human resources, or children, neurology, psychology, etc and in my case I work with relationships. Whether between husband and wife, employer and employee, mother child etc... or even between friends. I don't do nearly as much as I would like to do, becuase of the lack of knowledge with most people and the fear of the unknown.
The wonderful thing about understanding your own handwriting is to learn more about yourself and find ways of dealing with subconscious, those hidden issues in your life that hinder healthy living and relationships.

I have never seen an onion flower before but this is so pretty. I want to use this in one of my photo manipulations to see how it works. I went away to a workshop this weekend and there was a whole bunch of these in a vase, they really were stunning... what else could I do with this?

Torn apart

When marriages are torn apart no one escapes the pain and devastation.

No Escape

No relationship is problem - free. What makes one more successful than another is the way in which we overcome our differences and resolve our conflict. When people become violent when they are angry, it is only because they have run out of socially acceptable ways of dealing with anger, and often have never been tought how to be angry, but not allow that anger to cause them to sin, against another, themselves,  society and mostly against God.

Japanese Obi Balls

You can search what they are on the internet. There are many ways of making them but this is my way.  They are given to friends ... in friendship... and placed on the Christmas tree. I guess ofter a few years you should have gathered just a few! I haven't done this as a round robin but I would like to.

I need to do some art to break the tension :o)

Backgrounds on Blogs

I have realised, not that I didn't know it already, that I HATE READING INSTRUCTIONS. When I am trying to do something I want the 123 and not some technical jargon that I have no idea what it means. The minute I see all ?/hp ^ @#$ = XYZ.. I get in a complete state and my mind says I CAN'T DO THIS. I am sure the left hemisphere of my brain does not exist! I think I would make a great teacher... to grade 1's. because that is how I like to learn. If anyone can give me the 123 as how to place a background to my blog it would be greatly appreciated! I have made a background according to all the instructions, but putting it onto my blog is another story. I am not one who enjoys spending hours to try and do something... I guess I just don't have the time, so short and sweet works for me.

Silently weeping

We share things in families and often there are times when we wish we could simply make things better, and we can't.

Always there when I need Him
