When I first started rubber stamping and making cards I heard about artists altering books. One of the Yahoo groups that I joined was organizing an altered book round robin and I jumped at the chance to participate. That is where I met Donna almost ten years ago. She also signed up to participate and her spread in my book is one of my favorites. She knew I liked oriental and she did my pages in an oriental theme. I was thrilled!
We continued to stay in touch and much more frequently this last year. She has been in the process of relocating to San Miguel Allende in Mexico to persue her art studies. I hope you will read her blog because she has documented each step, both the heartaches, challenges and love for her new city. She is an inspiration and I admire her so much.
Now for the award...where woud I like to be in ten years.
1) Alive and living in our home with hubby both in a healthy state (ouch...I'll be well into my mid 80s so that's asking a lot.)
2) Bask in the comfort of knowing that all of our children are doing well, are healthy and pursuing their dreams.
3) Would love to hold a greatgrandchild.
4) Continue my passion for creating art and becoming an advanced digital artist.
5) The ability to work in my flower beds
6) A clear mind to read the latest novel
7) Continue to spend time with my friends
8) Live in freedom with less government controls, less greed and a healthier world that strives for peace.
When you get up in years, your priorities change and I am content to lead a quite life doing as I please in a beautiful home with my best friend. We just have to look around and know we have it all. Our family members are our number one priority. If they are happy; we are happy.
