BE YOURSELF!!!! BE A SPARK OF INSPIRATION!!!
I went to Vedrana's Blog today and I got that SPARK from her!!! Her SPC Celebration was of Carmen, and that reminded me of the memory of Luciano Pavarotti singing at the Olympics!!! O! What an awesome memory of beauty! I WISH I could have been there or even attended one performance of this GREAT singer! He SANG with all his heart and soul! If I was at the age of giving birth, I would consider naming my son Luciano!!! Here is one of my favorite singers singing with him!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlIAvyuwMOs&feature=related****
Let's SING today because these are the days my friend!!! Today I also got my Gallery art back that didn't sell which was MOST of it!!! LOL My art was in a gallery though! Isn't that exciting???!!! My friend that took care of my art put some of my prints in mats which I never have done!!! I LOVE them in mats!! Phew! and what tiles I sold I don't even know yet!!!I think one was "Listen To Your Muse" I can't remember what other tile I sent that sold, I got some more back of course soOOOo be ready for a give-away!!! That was in December, 2007! I don't have any pics or anything of it! I just didn't take it too seriously when I had the opportunity to be in a gallery! It scared me I think!(it was one of those, be careful what YOU wish for, you may just get it and I did and I wasn't ready!) I'd love to write a little book for 2008!!! Write some songs???!What's your DREAM?******* What we must remember though is CELEBRATE YOURSELF and TODAY!!!******* thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqkNmYYDJt4 was WONDERFUL too!!!

Vedrana! YOU sure made my day today, if I hadn't gone to your Blog today I wouldn't have remembered Pavorotti and never heard those songs he sang today!!!WOOT!!!

So,my first collage of 2008 is on Etsyhttp://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8717324*** and I just added angel postcards to etsy last night! The postcard front is from an altered book I sold, the 2 pages have a Cro poem and an angel on the other page. Here is the Angel poem,
Remember
the angel dreams
and
dream
of
angels
and pray for them
They are angels
and we need them
Nearby is your
angel
Whisper

angel
