Layers of Paper and Other things

Wow..I never knew how many things I would find when I reorganized my Studio..

Layers of paper scraps and other things....

that are good for my next creation, tiny little charms that got lost in a shuffle,are now in their proper place; the cutest little jar..lined up next to several other cutest little jars..an old drawer I was meaning to paint and use as a shelf, got painted and is now used as a shelf..I found the ribbon I bought, then lost and bought again..I am working on places to stash my pages and pages of ideas , cutouts and stickers, putting paints in their baskets and rubber stamps in big jars..looking at things in a completely new way.
But that was just the first two days...lots more to shuffle, change and put away !

It will all be worth it in the end.but , in the meantime....
I am wanting so badly to Create.

I find myself looking at things I could use for this or that..it's hard to keep on my reorganizing "hat"..

I have to keep thinking... 

Next time I stand among things that tickle my fancy , I will know where to find them ..and. this will help the creative process flow
Things will be waiting to use ,the next time I need them....right there on the shelf, where I last laid them.

and that my friend..is what keeps me going..
I guess I will always have..
  Layers of paper scraps and other things
it just seems to be the cycle of creating.

Quote sent to me ..from My Robin...

If you just set people in motion they'll heal themselves.

Some of my Creations

A Rose is A Rose

The saying... A rose is a rose..Is so true.

If we look inside and allow the healing.
We will find ourselves again.
And the Beauty that may have been crushed or locked inside ..it will emerge and bloom.

A rose , by any other name is still a ROSE !!

   Tonight I Rested and Gazed at The Sky...
   I Pondered The Way, Birds Must Learn How To FLY..


   Its The Reason I Need TRIAL and Error..IN My Life
   To Understand how ..
   To Gather UP Courage and ...
    Let Myself Soar
   To Have No Fear and Just Let it Go..


   Mistakes I Make Can Be Lessons In Life..


Like How to Turn Clouds Into Something To Ride
Enjoying My Journey.... I Look For Silver Linings, Inside..


As I Watched the changes that came with each Breeze..
I Realized the Clouds Faced Bending with Ease..


The Birds Rode the Wind ..not Fighting their FLIGHT..
They Proved To Be More than a Fantastic Sight..


An Inspiration For Changing and Growing
And Trying New Things..
Right Then and There , I Closed Out that Chapter of Living in Fear..


So Goodnight Sweet Summer Sky..You've Taught Me So Much...

You are There Everyday to Give Me A Gift....
I'm Glad I Looked Up and Didn't Pass By
The Opportunity Waiting ..
To Teach Me To Fly !

 ...I have A Strange Little Habit..
      When I Visit the Sea..



    I insist On
   Photographing My Feet..


     It Helps to Remind Me


    That I Have Been there
        and Can always
         Go Back...


..It's just As Simple As Looking at a Photograph..


Where My Feet have Been..My Mind Can Return..


So Goodnight For NOW...Sweet Summer Sand..
And
Perhaps Next Time ...I Will Photograph ...My Hand !
