(FREE IMAGE)Thank you all for such a sweet response to my last post. Thank you for indulging me in processing my thoughts and feelings and for traveling with me down memory lane. About that book thing, I am thinking and praying about it. Honestly I did think this would be the year I began writing a book, in fact I have been working on gathering ideas and supplies for it for many months now. It was not to be a book about family memories but one about art. Who knows if either one will ever come into being but it is nice to think about anyway.
I was looking at the calendar this morning and thinking how can the new year be only eleven days old and so many strange and wonderful things have happened and been poured into my lap in such a very short time. I can't decide if I look forward with expectation or trepidation. It promises to be interesting if nothing else.

You'll write those books the way you do everything else...prayerfully and one step at a time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice lot of images you're sharing with us today!
Sandy,
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will be drawn down that road to writing a book. What a wonderful adventure that would be. I would love to be able to hear about each step you were taking, if and when the time comes. Meanwhile, thank you ever so much for sharing these lovely images. I hope I can get into gear and start creating something nice for Valentines Day. Have a great week.

Thanks for the images. I might borrow some for my blog in the upcoming weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou already know my thoughts on the book writing. Chief cheerleader here!
I will soon be placing my treasured cone valentine under a cover of glass perhaps on a sweet silver tray. It is a true treasure.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote at the beginning of this post.
ReplyDeleteI think you should write both books, Begin with the one you feel led to start with. The other will follow. You write so well as I have mentioned in a couple of some of your posts so I would look forward to a book by you.
