“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Stars and anniversaries

The challenge this week on Take a word is
'Stars'


The image of the lady is from a collage CD called 'Fairytale Follies'
from Lisa Kettell's Art Fire shop
The rest of the images
 are from Deviant Scrap.

It just so happens that I'm having my FOUR year blog anniversary give-away
starting today:)

I've probably written about this before...
The whole reason I started blogging is because I bought an awesome book 
by 
Lisa Kettell
called
'Altered Art Circus'
The photos and the stories were so very inspiring to me....
I took that book (and a sketch diary) everywhere.
It was like an escape into a sweet colorful fantasy land, 
where everything is happy.
I found the artist's blog and I was hooked. 

My give away is star themed and it happens to have a 
few Lisa Kettell products in it too.

  7. CONGRATULATIONS! Four years! Isn't it a wonder,this mode of creativity? I too think about how I started, and how I've been hooked now for six years. And Lisa's book; I HAVE IT and love it so. I worked with paper for a while there, loving it so much! My dear, enjoy yourself and dive into your dreams....I am doing what I love, and that is teaching French and writing on the side as a freelance writer. I thank you kindly for your sincere comment; what you said is from your heart, and I am learning that the best art comes from that very place. BISOUS! Anita
