Be Creative ---> Be Brave

My favourite "truth" from the Brave Girls Club this week is:

Dear Creative Girl,

Did you know that being creative is simply making something that did not exist before you made it? We are ALL creative, and being creative is a very important, wonderful part of being alive.

You can be creative with your meals, with your clothes, with your parenting, and with your job. You can be creative in friendship, in gardening, in the books you choose. Anything!

Please don't EVER tell yourself that you are not creative, or that others are more creative than you are. Creativity is a tremendous gift that was born into all of us and that keeps our lives interesting. It is a gift that helps others because we can all think of new things that others would not think of themselves.

Share your creativity today. It is healing, it is exciting, and it is essential for forward progress. We believe in you and all that you do. Don't let the world miss out on your creative ideas!!! We need you!

"A little bird told me" - your Daily Truth from The Brave Girls Club

It's almost March...

.... and time to sprinkle some goodness!!

Wise Words Wednesday...

I really think....

....that I should start playing with some of my toys!!

Mmm...

Emerging...(slowly)

It has been a strangely slow start (in some ways) to a very hectic pace of the new year...and I am (trying) emerging in different ways...  Here's to being brave!

And here's my favourite Daily Truth from this week:

Dear Generous Girl,


Feeling blue? Want to feel renewed?


Reach out to another today and treat her the way that you wish to be treated; and then find ways to treat her even better than that.


Give help that you alone can give. Express thankfulness for another's daily diligence of mundane tasks. See the divinity in the eyes of everyone you meet, and make sure they know that you know just how spectacular they are.


No matter how tired, discouraged, or overwhelmed, sad, or mad you might feel one moment, you will feel like a brand new brave girl after reaching out to another in kindness and generosity.


This is a beautiful way to go through life, and you deserve a beautiful life. So reach out and give all that you have to give today.


xoxo

Being Brave...

Dear Beautiful Girl,

Whatever grows in your life is what has been planted there, what has been nurtured, fed and given time and attention.
What is growing there? What is it that has been planted in your one beautiful, precious life? Have you carefully planned the rows of fruits, vegetables and flowers? Or are things growing there that blew in with the wind? Are weeds taking over?
It is never too late to "weed" your garden, and now is the perfect time to pull out the dead things, the unwanted things, the overgrown things, and make room for the new growth that you are so badly yearning for.
Take a moment today to see what is truly growing in your life, and whether or not there is room for the things that you most want to see the fruits of.
Be brave enough to pull out the unwanted things and get your life ready to lay the seeds of your wildest dreams.

YOU CAN DO IT!
xoxo

There are many things in life that will catch your eye,

but only a few that will catch your heart.

Pursue these.

Special Moms

Love to all you moms out there for Mother's Day on Sunday courtesy the most fabulous cupcakes in the USA! 

Special love to MY mom - you're precious.

And if you're looking for heartfelt gifts.....

From my friends at The Heartfelt Project.

Back to regular, or rather, less irregular blog posts next week...

A month!

It's hard to believe that a whole month passed without a post. Sorry to those who have repeatedly popped by. Perhaps I should have posted this image a few weeks ago.

Anyway... most of my projects are pretty much done for now. And I REALLY want to get back into some scrapbooking for ME. Well... let's see what happens.

In the meantime it is almost May, which amongst important days like anniversaries and first birthdays, also has a new Sprinkles of Goodness collection. This time I have included an additional option of Collection B.

I do hope to be back sooner than before.....
