"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

Saturday Fun

Saturday I got to meet two sweet blogging friends!! Can you tell by the above picture who one of them was?? :) I have a few of her paintings, but this is my first of her altered dolls!! Yes, I finally got to meet Suzan Buckner - Thrifty Collage Artist, and Katelen Tays - A Poetic Artist, at the Slotin Folk Fest in Norcross, Georgia.

Blogging has become such a blessing for me, I love the bonds that are formed between us online. But it is even more wonderful to meet in person, to be able to see the ones that we communicate with on a regular basis. I would have posted a picture of them, but they both hate having their pictures taken!! One day we just might have to dare them to post a picture of themselves on their blogs!! They are both beautiful women!! Yes you are!!!

Suzan and Katelen, I am so glad we got to meet. Suzan thank you for my gift, it was very sweet of you. I have been walking around my home trying to find the perfect spot for it.

I really hope to meet more of you in the future, but for now please know what a treasure you all are to me.

Blessings!
