Well, I was just be-bopping along and I suddenly tripped over life. What a difference a day makes in this journey of life. I guess the older we get , changes are harder. And sometimes some changes aren't meant to be happening, but do.
The month of May was upon me and I barely made it through my swaps and took June off completely. I felt like I couldn't create anymore! July I just signed up for a couple 'easy' ones because you know the old 'too much time on your hands' thing. I thought my mojo would return if I started out slow.
Crafting & creating is my expression and escape from reality sometimes. The days I cannot move from the couch, I find that drawing and creating allows me to focus on limitless possibilities rather than limitations. Like reading a book full of adventure. Can't wait to read the ending to see how things turn out. My creations come together and sometimes even surprise me! All of a sudden, this escape seemed to escape me! I never realized how important my Art is to me until I felt it was gone.
Then I got butterflies & love in the mail one day. : )
Daughter #2 went on the Joann's website and ordered 3 butterfly punches and a butterfly sizzlits for me. The note said, "I love you, Mom".
I must have punched out 1000 butterflies out of various papers that day. And when my daughter came over for a surprise visit, I was just sitting there amid paper scraps and lots & lots of butterflies. : )
What a difference a day makes in this journey of life.
Hope you have a butterfly day today.
I will. : )
