Quote for the Day

Tennessee Mountains - August 2011

"I would love to live

Like a river flows,

Carried by the surprise

Of it's own unfolding."

Wonderful Springtime Wins

Over the last few months I have been blessed with winning giveaways in two separate blog parties, both hosted by ladies who are very precious to me. Yet both wins have something in common. Let me explain...

The first, Celebrate Oz-Altered, hosted by my lovely sage, Miss Oma Linda, and held in honor of our mutual love for everything OZ, brought me medallions that will forever memorialize my kitties as the Ozonians they truly are...      

Herger will get you, my little pretty!

Buster will grant your every wish, with only expectations of tuna and treats

Are these not absolutely adorable??? I laughed so hard and fell instantly in love with Miss Oma Linda's work. Thank you so much!

The second party, Witches in Fiction - To the Bone, hosted by my beautiful wicked Magaly, in honor of her fourth blogaversary, brought me this amazing gothic delight... 

An altered book filled with bits of the very soul who created it, which is where the wins are in common. This was also made by Oma Linda, which shows the diversity, skill, and creativity this lady holds.

I wish my images could capture the textures, colors and energy which flows freely when you are in the presence of this art. 

Thank you so much to Magaly for the never ending revelry, and Linda for the beauty and generosity of your gifts.  And especially to both of you for your loving friendship.

Creative love to all,

Blessed Beltane/May Day

 

Wishing all of my lovely friends a beautiful and blessed Beltane/May Day. May we all join in the celebration of the earth's fertility and generous offerings.
