Global fauna in extinction

I had to have these grouped together and it took all afternoon to work it out, give the kids some credit...

Not only the economy is in chaos, our animals are also heading into extinction, let's hope the environment is kind to them.

My artistic child

I used to be hooked onto parchment craft,
those were the days were my creativity started developing and
these are few samples of 3D romantic cards. (I ran out of leaves here hehehe)

This was my first 3D card created under the influence of
Gerda Hauge my parchment teacher,
I created another one based on the same pattern but
it was not even close to my original creation.
A nice pattern, an honor to Gerda, I hope she is still delivering her craft.

This lovely butterfly is a Cliff Wraith design,
he had the patience to create the design and
the handcrafting drove us nuts into production,
I made about 4-5 of these butterflies
glued to crystals to turn them into lovely paper weights.


More... and others floating around with my name on it.. :)

Girls are like apples on trees

Girls
Are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree
~~~~~~

Well, the self-esteem of the apples at the top is pretty high, going behind the bushes is not an option for them.

And the rotten, over-ripped, soft apples in nice cheap wrappings, they clearly show lack of self-esteem, their lack of personal value is non existing, they just take what is given to them instead of accepting and/or going for what they deserve for being "Valuable Human Beings".

When we know our value we have choices, we demand them because we deserve better, we respect ourselves highly.

Nail in the Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. "A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts to us."

Show your friends how much you care. Share this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends. Now send this to every friend you have!! And to your family. Please forgive me if I have ever left a hole.

"Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them,
but you know they are always there."

The sun always shines even in the dark

If it's all getting impossible, look at what else may be possible!

Do what you can, and forget what it seems you can't do!

Think, for example, of how differently you feel on a morning after a good night's rest than how you feel at the end of a long hard day.

There will come a moment when you face easier circumstances and are carrying a far lighter load.

There's not long to go now before a situation changes.

So, if something has to wait just a little longer till you're ready to tackle it, that's not so bad.
