Life’s dynamic nature continually renews the possibilities before you; you honestly never can be certain when the next gust of wind will arrive and what it will blow in your direction.  Open yourself to these surprises and pay attention.  Many of them will bring goodness you never knew you were missing.  You are never too old, too young, too busy, or too educated to find value and joy in new, unexpected moments.  So stay on the lookout, and keep track of these pleasant surprises.  Be sure not to lose them in the haste of your weekly routines.  For example, there are little, random moments – the silence just before the sun peaks over the horizon, coming up the driveway to the house after a long day, the smell of a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, standing at the back window and looking out at the greenery, hearing a burst of laughter coming from my son’s room, the hush of the neighborhood at midnight – when I feel an unplanned and unexpected wavelike rush of peace and joy.  This is a big part of my faith as a spiritual being: little moments of nearly tear-jerking happiness for a life I feel privileged to live.”

  1. Well – ugh – somehow this didn’t stick in my head when you announced it Tracy. I would have made something with your stamps and put on my blog – just to send folks over to your hop. Maybe I’ll still try. Your blog hop is great fun! Looks like a fabulous DT with real creative talent. Of course, your stamps and chipboard are totally fabulous. Your makes are just WONDERFUL and I enjoyed the hop!! j.

  2. Tracy,

    I love that canvas you created – it’s beautiful with those colors and the texture from the chipboard. All of your art journaling projects are stunning! Looking forward to trying out your chipboard. Thanks for sharing your amazing projects!

  3. I love seeing what you create. It is such an inspiration and I like how the chipboard words gave so much texture to your mixed media canvas.

  4. Mixed media projects always intimidate me but your canvas is just gorgeous! Now tags are something that I make a lot of and the smaller size makes them easier to approach. Love the whimsical style and bright colors.

  5. OH my goodness!! There is SO much gorgeous inspiration here, I can hardly take it all in at once!!! I’m in love with your mixed media canvas piece and your cards and tags are beyond gorgeous!!! All the texture and interest–I’m super inspired by it all!!! Thanks for sharing your marvelous work and talent!!!

  6. Wow! So many project to share and I really like them all. Your color combinations are so vibrant, so full of life. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
