The Secret

A friend of mine recommended this book and I am so glad she did. I am only half way through and I am totally moved and inspired by the ideas. The secret is nothing new....no new idea really. It is all about how powerful the mind is and how we create our own reality by our thoughts. The Secret is based on biblical principles but I would not say it is a heavily religious book. The author refers to the 'Law of Attraction' a lot in the book. I highly recommend this book! It is awsome.

I have started my apron too as Renea discusses at Pocket Full of Prettys. I can't wait to see Reneas apron because I know it is going to be cute. We just wanted to wear something that would add to the element of fun to this workshop I am doing next weekend. By the way, I believe at least 10 women will attend. I have prayed specifically for at least 10 people and I believe that they will be there. I learned this in the book. You have to 1) ask the universe (for me it is God) the thing you desire 2) Believe you will receive it 3) Receive it-act as if you have already received it. Visualize receiving it.

On another note, I just want to say that I love my blog friends. I am grateful for all of your comments and I love to read your blogs and see your creations from your hearts. I love to read about your lives and your passions. I receive so much inspiration from all of you. Happy Weekend!!!

I haven't read the book but I have the DVD and watch it often. Truly a simple idea but so powerful.

I just came here through yoli's blog - and let me tell you - the secret WORKS! last january i started hearing about it andlaughed it off. came home and saw it on oprah and realzied the messages and thoughts i was sending out could be tweaked for the better. as soon as i did that, all these crazy things came my way and still are. i can explain in detail i f you ever are curious. but after struggling for years as an artist and writer, in 12 months i got my own product line, a new job, TWO book deals, the list goes on. so i just want to say there is a reason i saw your post! stay focused, follow your heart!! hugs to you!

Lesley,

I've already posted a comment on this post, but you might check out a few more inspirational (ok...self-help LOL) books! The Beautiful Ache, Get Out of That Pit by Beth Moore, and Creating a Charmed Life by Victoria Moore are all excellent books. I've thoroughly read Get Out of That Pit and it was wonderful. I'm currently in the midst of
reading The Beautiful Ache and Creating a Charmed Life. They are
awesome as well. I, too, own just about every self-help book out
there and am always looking for a new inspiring read!

Take care!

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Laughing Out Loud

I still have some work to do on these paper mache letters. I finally found something to do with all the bits and pieces of things that I keep because they will be perfect for some piece of art.....some day. Today is the day! I really love this piece/grouping. LOL .....a good message don't you think? Go ahead, Laugh Out Loud.....it is very healthy and therapeutic. Today, I bought the soundtrack to Mamamia and I have enjoyed the heck out of it. I really enjoyed that movie. I have discovered that people either love it or hate it. I just think that it is so cool that Meryl Streep totally stepped out of her norm and went for the musical. She did a great job and I can't wait to see it again. It is a great girlfriends and sisters movie. I highly recommend that you go and get it and go to your girlfriends house and watch it and....oh....I don't know......LAUGH OUT LOUD! Let me know if you do and how it goes.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out. ...
