Art Saves

Sweet idea, how powerful a few words are, touching to see reactions. I did something similar with my “thought bubbles”

pulling the string on the side opens the little bubble up and inside a thought of course! and a piece of candy (they are little mini pinatas) and a mini piece of art. I would randomly drop these in public areas for people to come across, only imagining their surprise. I may make some for the holidays, I think I will have some time…at the very least I can make little strips of paper with positive affirmations, FUN!!

Hope your day is touched by love and good food!!

UPDATE: we had a beautiful quiet Thanksgiving with my bro and his lady. I was immensely pleased with how the turkey turned out and my perfect gravy, (the first time ever!) not a lump in sight!! Her a little glimpse:

Every year at this time I sell a handful of items from my cafepress shop created over ten years ago. the items have one of my favorite images:

I started this piece months ago, I almost gave up on her she was so oppositional, but this morning, finally she relented

snagged this from my friend Bri, she found it somewhere. just lovely words to begin the day with.

“At this moment, I reflect upon the meaning of my life. I harbour within a vision of my most perfect self, a dream of what I could become. Today I will pursue this vision and work toward making my dream a reality. In this way, I will give meaning to my life.

Like an artist painting a picture, I will pause, step back from the canvas and consider what needs to be done. This will be a day of reflection. As I hope to make my life a work of art, so may these moments of contemplation help me to turn back to the canvas of life to paint a portrait of my most perfect self.

This day and every day hereafter, I will hold before my eyes the vision of what I am becoming”.

well received!
