altered gypsy bottle

just finished my gypsy soul altered bottle for my partner at blissful swaps......and it was so fun to capture the essence of what a gypsy may think would go in her bottle..perhaps a love potion..or magic?? I decided to place a single feather inside,small delicate and holding endless possiblities. What will the gypsy do with this treasure? dream on it?  Perhaps the feather will transport her to a far away land....such a treasure given over to her keeping.

New year new journal....

A new year and I am going to create as much as I can-I PLAN on having weekly posts as well as a Monday "Inspiration". The word that has been on my heart from the Lord for this year is acceptance....so I will persue this in my journal as well as my life. AND of course I am sure this word will teach me alot...last years word was Love and It was a year filled with new ways of looking at love and new chances and choices to Love. Of course I believe that Acceptance is a huge part of the love I want to give and get-uncondtional. Gods Agape love from above!

It feels like I am in Santa's workshop when I get out all the glitter and begin creating! No better feeling in all the world -except having a warm home full of love to do it in. And I can tell you love is a choice,you can either lean in to the wind or fight against it. I prefer to lean in to it and get my bearings by what love can do in any and all relationships then to hold my ground and fight. Love bears all things! TRUE words....
