Breaking the seal ~

That's truly what I feel like I did...FINALLY.

Broke the seal of creativity.

When you get out of the habit of making things it

can seem daunting to even get back in there

and get started on something new!

I roll things around in my mind and finally I told myself,

you are going to make something!!!

Yes, it's another lavender sachet but I'm really working on

being a little more loose in my composition and since I have

about three big ol' bags of lavender,

a sachet was the perfect project.

I've saved so, so many snippets of lace, fabric that I've printed images on

and of course you know about my button hoard...

ANYWAY, I just had to share my bit of creativity!

Since my little pretty sachet has roses featured on the front,

I thought I would look through my computer and share

a few roses images. Most I've put up here before but

sometimes people miss them! So save them and use them

on handmade note cards or even in your artwork.

Please forgive my absence lately....

I think I've been pretending

I'm on vacation!!!

The lavender sachet has been added to my Etsy store!

Happy Tuesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

A must-share book...and more treasures!

First, a few image gifts on this cold winter day!

I just have to show you a wonderful new book

Lisa gave me for my birthday!!!

She told me how much she loved it and KNEW I would.

Well, with buying Christmas gifts and such, I just didn't get around to buying it.

But don't you love going to the door and seeing a box from Amazon

with a big sticker on the top that says "gift inside"??!!

It was this beautiful book and I just LOVE IT!

The name of it is 'A Life Less Ordinary' ~

I really haven't had a chance to read and delve into it but I will soon.

It may take a few evenings to read and soak all of the wonderfulness in!!!

Here is a peek ~ some pics are blurry but trust me, it's amazing.

Wonderful, right???
Thank you so much sweet Lisa!!!






I was able to get a few more treasures listed in my shop...
here is a little peek!

I've been walking around the studio and house grabbing things ~
stay tuned, there's more to come!!!

I hope you have a wonderful Friday sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
