One Little Word.



I've subscribed to Ali Edwards AEzine. Every January Ali picks a word that she will focus on for the year.

Can you identify a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2007?


My word came to me right away, but when I read throught the posts on Ali's blog it changed many time, there are so many word that I could focus on - time, balance, health, but I always came back to this word -

CONFIDENCE

I lack confidence in many things in my life from relationships, my job and most of all my creations. I alway second guess things. So this year I am going to work on this.



The quote I used for this 8x8 DLO was from a book I spotted last week in Borders. I didn't even pick the book up, I really just like this title - so much so I snapped a pic of it while I was browsing. It is by Elizabeth Wilson and titled 'GODDESS - Be the woman you want to be'. So this is my first 8x8, and will go into my BOM, which was one of the things I wanted to start this year ......... yay!!! I also used my sewing machine on this LO, thanks to Gillian for her 'Handy Hints Email'



Paper is Cotton Candy by We R Memory Keepers and the anchors were in my pack of lovlies from Australia - thank you again Gillian. I stitched the 'C' onto a piece of card board, I then pulled all the card board away from the edges of the letter. There is a hidden tag behind the pic.

RAK - ATC



Here is a pic of my fabby ATC from Gillian in it's new home in my Studio. I was going to put it in a frame, but I want to be able to touch this work of art any time I feel like it, so decided against the frame.

Lynne, what a beautiful page you made. I loved all the details and the way you blended it all together - it's great!

I chose the word 'Gentleness' and haven't been able to put anything together other than a blog entry for it - am still being inspired by other's work :-D It seems to make things more concrete to have a 'visual' like this - hope you put yours up where you can see it all the time!
