On mine & John's honeymoon in Sedona, AZ, my favorite place, I purchased a piece of canvas art by Kelly Rae Roberts, titled "What is calling you?" kellyraeroberts.com/shop/wall-decor/wall.../what-is-calling-you/ The piece spoke about the "whispers of our lives want us to take notice" and "we must hold their possibilities close to our chests and allow them to step into the light". Well, I literally looked at the picture and read the saying every day, sometimes more than once, even out loud. It seemed as if it was speaking right to me! Needless to say I have bought more of her art work since and I absolutley love the heartfelt and simple messages she delivers. On 1/11/11 I bought Kelly Rae Roberts book titled Taking Flight kellyraeroberts.com/book/ well....... that was the key that unlocked the door for my creative spirit. I have devoured every page, I almost ran out of ink in my highlighter. I was at the craft store, with the book in my hand, to buy some supplies when I felt this soft tug on my coat from a lady who exclaimed she had received the same book as a Christmas present. She (Christy) was at the craft store to get her supplies, too. How cool is that?!? We stood in the aisle for a while laughing and talking about giving our "creative spirit wings" and how excited we were to start painting. I'm not able to find the right words to explain how much it meant for me to meet Christy at the time I did. I just know that I felt like it was s message that I was on the right path. One of the jumping up and clicking your heels in the air moments!!!!
On 1/26/11 I started by first project from Taking Flight to create a art journal. I am posting the beginning of my journal. It just needs to be assembled. The reason it didn't get totally done is because I moved on to another project I made for my sister Bonnie.
