Wandering Minds

My mind often wanders, how about you? Call it daydreaming, thinking, ADHD; whatever. Anyway, I saw this quote on an advertisement for Tim Holtz products(love!). And, I happened to take a bunch of photos of hummingbirds. The two seemed to go together. I was thinking of how the little birds migrate south each year. Many die flying over the ocean between North and South America. Their hearts simply give out. I am inspired by their mission and effort. Such fragile beauty.

hi Vanessa, thanks for stopping by my blog. I see you are a great artist yourself. You got some funky art on your blog. :)

As for when I find time to make my creations? I am re-thinking the whole thing with just having a fourth child seven weeks ago. I am trying to find my way again. I believe in a couple of months things will be well adjusted. In the meantime, I will scrap between classes and chores, in the middle of the night and cry my eyes out in moments of frustration. :)

Cards That Pop!

   Black makes colors really pop, there's no doubt about it. It's why we go to the classic 'little black dress' for spec...
