An old book that artists have come to love, titled “No More Second Hand Art” is all about allowing your originality to show so that the project does not appear to be copied. It is only when your original spirit shows through that there is a spark within the work, an aliveness that is noticeable. </p><p class="MsoNormal">To feel creative, one must flex ones creative muscle every day and not surprisingly every one of us do just that. But, what separates the creative ones from those who say, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body”, is awareness. Being conscious of your Source and the gifts you receive and then turn around and use them to create, is a fabulous way of life, is very rewarding and is truly fulfilling."</p><p></p> <!--EndFragment-->Deonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05888952604612141646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107144218888097273.post-64962027489520581422011-11-15T17:06:00.001-08:002011-11-15T17:11:05.834-08:00Santa's stocking<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSJDOR03c2ToYVASEyL8XOKYFhZnlmByqaPnJ_C9f9mDQepM30JwasXnElYEstenVqvempiGDdNWB5_hmfPwVtmm-e00dMx6_XScl8qUKvWRBGcggqUVq70UJgYiWB1cD1VaKJ3Oi5Ts/s1600/DSC_6539.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqSJDOR03c2ToYVASEyL8XOKYFhZnlmByqaPnJ_C9f9mDQepM30JwasXnElYEstenVqvempiGDdNWB5_hmfPwVtmm-e00dMx6_XScl8qUKvWRBGcggqUVq70UJgYiWB1cD1VaKJ3Oi5Ts/s320/DSC_6539.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675394788905807074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYu45Nmgz1F9vXVvj9Spc8866qFBAkCfh0PRLbIbOq-Sh5G6D2fPagNbkGhyPA23dz8DrRsZfq7HxbGmafpf7RC9iIvVE_GmL8sB6YiqY6uxqGQHtiu4kttUFl6MGMMnqkVatTy8u7ICo/s1600/DSC_6535.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYu45Nmgz1F9vXVvj9Spc8866qFBAkCfh0PRLbIbOq-Sh5G6D2fPagNbkGhyPA23dz8DrRsZfq7HxbGmafpf7RC9iIvVE_GmL8sB6YiqY6uxqGQHtiu4kttUFl6MGMMnqkVatTy8u7ICo/s320/DSC_6535.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675394781133564962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik90AYXPRnQjtgL3LHRiUNMifXcHqQZxt389ZsUQf0PVxkR2TKZfjo7vQWDPTlmNv11daFUbUB6YQh0ATnmtJeUCidRlESFl0IsRJ34cwXjDRibxRstFZDFTk1iWSNhmCdoaolTd21xTQ/s1600/DSC_6532.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik90AYXPRnQjtgL3LHRiUNMifXcHqQZxt389ZsUQf0PVxkR2TKZfjo7vQWDPTlmNv11daFUbUB6YQh0ATnmtJeUCidRlESFl0IsRJ34cwXjDRibxRstFZDFTk1iWSNhmCdoaolTd21xTQ/s320/DSC_6532.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675394774604876098" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB6uInue20VbEnNk0FGDs8cRLRlUmtSomzd7i9a43IAmvKXK17EYYctOpyBrXuujn_8R0QT8BmU9gQR_hmPBZnWRTKMlEEbPwR-OsTOuXr4ht5EaaPSSZTcquJm81Lc90inQrBRYIku7Y/s1600/DSC_6529.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB6uInue20VbEnNk0FGDs8cRLRlUmtSomzd7i9a43IAmvKXK17EYYctOpyBrXuujn_8R0QT8BmU9gQR_hmPBZnWRTKMlEEbPwR-OsTOuXr4ht5EaaPSSZTcquJm81Lc90inQrBRYIku7Y/s320/DSC_6529.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675394757394658194" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaCifdAHXL7MUO9mF6P-XY3UFOHY7yv1KrwMY4v6piEYzIiKDpEav9HwOor6RY-U-VZ7PgPbZaypeT8jAJhXBEprP9Xv_iI3bLTPLuCipsnHkThVwMIHpuEPIrF0y9dJZJNhVW2H_Xb0/s1600/DSC_6525.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipaCifdAHXL7MUO9mF6P-XY3UFOHY7yv1KrwMY4v6piEYzIiKDpEav9HwOor6RY-U-VZ7PgPbZaypeT8jAJhXBEprP9Xv_iI3bLTPLuCipsnHkThVwMIHpuEPIrF0y9dJZJNhVW2H_Xb0/s320/DSC_6525.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675394751997767522" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>I have been on a Christmas ornament kick lately!! </div><div>Just a couple of picks of a few I have made.

That was the start of my creativity and now 40 plus years later I manage to do a lot more than sew buttons on a scrap of fabric!</p> <!--EndFragment-->Deonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05888952604612141646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-107144218888097273.post-73088377958925733132011-11-05T21:08:00.000-07:002011-11-05T21:20:23.980-07:00Create!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIE8eM42hCJMqojD3Hl7jQDeYGatUwrPgP6V7lkpysqyh7NP9cLMutATQFqi6PxlgNuxm3kTAngXNyMKpWUU1gRwe3RU1D8vx2-1hQAdyqq87Ctuid2GIU_AWbq0cnUAOqlp0EZiFTDE/s1600/DSC_6478.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaIE8eM42hCJMqojD3Hl7jQDeYGatUwrPgP6V7lkpysqyh7NP9cLMutATQFqi6PxlgNuxm3kTAngXNyMKpWUU1gRwe3RU1D8vx2-1hQAdyqq87Ctuid2GIU_AWbq0cnUAOqlp0EZiFTDE/s320/DSC_6478.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671732782747257266" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW8n1HIex4xBVfrS7-xxium0EVnbEwki4NonaSlCNvExfe3KeFPZ1ek900MybrEiCS_Gy5oAegtrCFBmKMhwbJk9wRLJ2I-MbLIiyeV4TiiFYaSzB7ya4c4T7MWbig5YJprMKLUF2ZDEc/s1600/DSC_6474.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW8n1HIex4xBVfrS7-xxium0EVnbEwki4NonaSlCNvExfe3KeFPZ1ek900MybrEiCS_Gy5oAegtrCFBmKMhwbJk9wRLJ2I-MbLIiyeV4TiiFYaSzB7ya4c4T7MWbig5YJprMKLUF2ZDEc/s320/DSC_6474.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671732784698229106" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6vPy0HzuXne3ABSY6O2R1R03v7a8g61wxvICByaP_PqwFf5Z7J80GobrzuToEhH083HDiUk7dLdu-BP7sIhc9vmpRa0uWnh2SNVBlydYuzMBA93ew6Wo1VIvSea0nh-gvy42EBhdPpxk/s1600/DSC_6260.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 184px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6vPy0HzuXne3ABSY6O2R1R03v7a8g61wxvICByaP_PqwFf5Z7J80GobrzuToEhH083HDiUk7dLdu-BP7sIhc9vmpRa0uWnh2SNVBlydYuzMBA93ew6Wo1VIvSea0nh-gvy42EBhdPpxk/s320/DSC_6260.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671732759711877762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6eogu5XTwirN341N98Q38wErZ8EIjcR3x4ywkBDpOZVxw9To08Xu589mbXeirGhyXWEfh4hlJ6IlOTDcDliDZDJTI9sHuxXQPr-lvlbyV4ycMim4AI-lLYep4DpQXa6MRLypDATai378/s1600/DSC_6222.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6eogu5XTwirN341N98Q38wErZ8EIjcR3x4ywkBDpOZVxw9To08Xu589mbXeirGhyXWEfh4hlJ6IlOTDcDliDZDJTI9sHuxXQPr-lvlbyV4ycMim4AI-lLYep4DpQXa6MRLypDATai378/s320/DSC_6222.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671732761097910482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiP9FXD8yp_Xj5Xhw18EgZHKQm1ts7DBNKV2WTl-DHup9Kpy4m4Q_VejlzuPmzgqaZmP3p-HZihbg0BeCjXSyCh5bBB1JzA4mzBzbjTdMwBa4pVLJpl7tU06giXsKWDA4KPUQeSk0yeVE/s1600/DSC_6218.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiP9FXD8yp_Xj5Xhw18EgZHKQm1ts7DBNKV2WTl-DHup9Kpy4m4Q_VejlzuPmzgqaZmP3p-HZihbg0BeCjXSyCh5bBB1JzA4mzBzbjTdMwBa4pVLJpl7tU06giXsKWDA4KPUQeSk0yeVE/s320/DSC_6218.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671732756498709266" /></a><br />I love to play and these are some of my favorite things:<div>I love creating beautiful scrapbook pages</div><div>wonderful cards to send to those I love</div><div>beautiful jewelery creations of all sorts</div><div>Christmas crafts of all kinds</div><div><br /></div><div>Since this is my first post (and I hope one of many) I will just add a few of my most recent </div><div>items I have made.</div><div>Happy creating!</div><div>Deonna</div>Deonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05888952604612141646noreply@blogger.com6
