I completely forgot about the Craft along challenge I issued on Free clip art Monday's two weeks ago !!! Sheesh, I am SO sorry ! I was SO proud of myself too for posting every day too !! :) I will HOPEFULLY add Mr Linky to my blog this Monday in the hopes that you ( and I :) ) have made a cute something to share with the last group of Clip Art I shared :)
I thought I would share with you some of the Painted Roses I did a few years ago for Christmas. I have painted a tiny few this year ( I will share on Pink Saturday this week ) But nothing in the amounts I used to do years past.

Thanks for indulging me. I know you have all probably seen these pictures a few times before, but
I need to see them. I feel sometimes like who I am as an artist is slipping away as I am able to do less and less.
NOT complaining, life IS after all a Journey. I feel not quite ready though to give up certain aspects of who I
was Creatively. Although I know to be successful in life we have to go where it leads us and not try and root in somewhere. Here I am sticking my toes in the sand trying to stay put. Shame on me !! :) I hope that this next year I can do MORE artistically than less as Our Lord allows. Do you feel the great Rush of Joy when you are in the midst of creating something new ? I sure do. Beats any chocolate Rush, that's for sure :)
Well, a reflective Wednesday for sure. :)
Happy Hump day :)
Hugs :)

Hi Rhea! I never tire of your sweet creations, no matter if I've seen them before or not! Sorry you had another flare-up.
I haven't put our big tree up yet....may not this year. I'd rather rock a baby than decorate these days....
BTW, I sooo love that candy cane striped snowman birdhouse!!
