Art as a healing medium

The year 2011 was a mixture of strong happiness and challenges. A new granddaughter was born and both Mothers were in surgeries to mend broken hips. We had a tragic death in the family which is just sinking in with my brother and nieces. I have been able to make cards and putter around with some collage. After encouragement from many of you, I was able to create art for my soul. . I have been frozen for ideas and even the simpliest of creative tasks were impossible to complete, even less attempt. Reading about your challenges..health,financial, emotional, and marriage helped me express my feelings. Thank you for your encouragement, laughs and virtual hugs. I appreciate you all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year dear friends.. I visit many blogs..I read about your art..your families and your concerns. Maybe this is how Peace will be attained..one small single thread at a time...Be good to your dreams this year. We only have now so begin to live now. All my love to you xxx bettyann
