On making decisions

This week's PLAY prompt
is ON MAKING DECISIONS
 Sometimes I make decisions by researching and processing.
Then other times, I just make a decision quickly.
Either way, I just go with it and try not to analyze it.
I trust my decision.
 
This was a piece of Emma's work from school that I just worked a little. 
The flower looks hawaiian.
 
 
 
 
The future is always beginning now.

Chance

This week's PLAY prompt
is CHANCE.
'Sometimes you
just have
to take the
leap
and build your
wings on
the way
down.'
 
 
The full moon was so beautiful this week.  Clear Seattle skies to take it in.
 That is my very well loved apron behind my work.  :-)
I use my fingers often.  I am messy and just wipe it on my apron.
It's thick with paint.  and love.
 
Check out Carla's CHANCE.
 
 
 
 
Surround yourself
with the dreamers
and the doers, the believers and
thinkers, but most of all,
surround yourself with
those who see greatness
within you, even when you
don't see it yourself.

Your time is better spent

than stressing over
the ones who don't.

What makes me a good friend

What makes me a good friend....
is this week's prompt from PLAY
 
I love to laugh and HAVE FUN.
I'm sure there are lots of other reasons too.
 
So many parts of me all woven together
to make me who I am.


 
This was my second attempt at this prompt...The first one I trashed. 
Felt weird to do that, and not to just keep working at it.
But just couldn't like it.
The tabs on the right under the woven piece are from the first attempt.
 
 
 
KIND
WORDS
are like
HONEY
 
SWEET
to the
SOUL
and
HEALTHY
for the
BODY
