Thank you so much for all of your heartfelt prayers for my son! Yesterday we finally got the news we had been hoping for that the infection from his surgery has cleared. He is home now recovering and it seems we are out of the woods! We are now focusing on his weight loss and already making gains there as well! He is anxious to join his friends in summertime fun and finally celebrate his graduation!
These last weeks reminded me of a beautiful original canvas I purchased from artist Sharon Tomlinson. You can see more of her beautiful work at
AllNorahsArt. I was drawn to this piece as it spoke to me about the common thread of struggle and pain we all share at one time or another and how we can support and encourage each other by offering to carry some of the heartache for a season....that a caring community is a catalyst for healing. I know we experienced that throughout this ordeal with our son and are so grateful for all the prayers, cards, meals, hospital visits, childcare and shoulders to lean on!
I also wanted to share some exciting news! I am honored to have been asked to become a part of the design team for
Moss Hill Studios. Artist and friend JoAnna Pierotti has long been a creative inspiration and I absolutely adore her work. She has launched a new line of collage sheets that can be found on her website and in her
Etsy store. I just I can't wait to see what creations will be inspired by her sweet designs! So stop by, meet the other
design team members and take a peek at
JoAnna's blog. I will be sharing more about this new journey as soon as my collage sheets arrive and I have a chance to see where the muse takes me! Hope you all have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend!
I was so excited to receive my first collage sheets from JoAnna Periotti of Moss Hill Studios. This piece is my first submission as part of her Design Team. It had been dancing in my thoughts since the first time I saw JoAnna's sweet paper doll dress designs. You'll have to take a peek at her website as she will be continuing to add adding beautiful new designs to inspire your creativity! More pictures of this work can be found here on ebay! Well I am headed into the studio. I have made a new committment to myself...first thing in the morning....before chores...before bills...before the to-do list kicks in...(and should be before I get on to check email and end up in blogland...haha)...to start the day by creating one piece of art no matter how big...or small! Releasing the inner musings of my creative world at the dawning of a new day always seems to ease the shadows from the night and put my heart in a hopeful place!
