Love is...........

Still so much to share with you of Silver Bella.........I hope you are ok with it all! For those who haven't seen this in blogland yet, I wanted to share the "LOVE" chapter swap. For this swap, 14 of us who were randomly assigned a portion of 1 Corinthians 13:14 and on.... Mine was "Love is not rude". So we all began our little art and heart journey into the assigned portion. I was blessed by the talent and hearts of these women, especially the hostesses...with the mostesses....of Love that is!!! Check out these sister's Karla and "Miss" Lynn pictured above. Two adorable girls I just couldn't get enough of. Downright good as gold, I tell you!! Miss them already. Miss Lynn posts and lists names of these artists here as well. Loved how the art and relationships just came about with this swap so easily.

Thinking of you all ~Feel the Love dear friends!!

I dedicate this Love post to my sweet friend Cassie who lost her house this past week. She is doing well and keeping Joy. Amazes me, this Love thing!

Canvas Swap part 2

Here you see a close up of what I made for Michelle. I failed to take many closeups before hauling it off to Silver bella, but thanks to my camera buddy Steph, we have a snippet here. I really enjoyed making this canvas for Michele even though there was surely an element of pressure and I hadn't done a "one on one" swap before. The rewards were worth it though. Wait until you see what she made me!! ooooh la la!! Lucky girl, am I!!! Hugs to all you lucky girls too this good day:) Micheles blogspot name, too by the way!!

Back to our Silver Bella program

Seems as an artist, I am always falling in Love. This class, and this artist, Lisa Kaus 's authenticity and direction spoke the loudest to me this past week at Silver Bella 2010.

It's a personal message in my own colors, words and spirit. My roomies and my mantra for the week......... "own it" rings true here. I am saying that I am owning this piece. It is me. I can say I fell in love with me in this artwork. I am so excited to explore this medium and me a little more. This is the true beauty of Silver Bella to me. Stay tuned for more beautiful things girls!

XOXOX Sending you a colorful ~ love yourself day girlfriends!!

Where to begin.....

Silver Bella 2010 So much to show, and to say!! I think Charlotte Lyons said it all beautifully here. I'm excited everytime I look at my projects and think of the classes and teachers................the swaps and the Hostesses'ssssssss and Vendor night, and Opening night, and Closing night...............but more on that very soon. Just had to do this post today. My Indiana girls........no fussing or tweaking photos, finishing anything or gushy words.
Here we are, and this is what we do.................Enjoy!!

Take good care

Remember the envoy's from my earlier post? Here they are with a message I purchased at Curious Sofa on my way to my first Silver Bella. Reminds me of how Words are so powerful. Here's a message from Melody Ross as well, that I think we could all benefit from. I hope your heart is touched and your words are good and kind......I expect much of the same at Silver Bella too this week..........oh my, I think I am taking this little cross stitch a little too seriously....haven't packed a thing............off I go! See you all real soon. Sending Love! XO

Loads of fun in the mail........

....and headed to the ever talented Michelle Geller for yet another fabulous Silver Bella Swap. So honored to be a part of this adventure with such talented artists and 2 more swaps full of them as well! Thankfully, I woke up this morning with my next idea for the 2 Corinthians swap........ I have been assigned "Love is not rude" Reminds me of Gentle Love. I am wishing you gentle Love today, my friends. To offer up and to recieve this. XO
