OWOH - The Magic Carpet Ride.....

Winners have been drawn and will be notified on the 15th!! Thank you all for stopping by and to Lisa for bringing us all together again!!

Photo Welcome aboard the Gypsy Caravan. I am so happy you stopped by. Isn't it lovely to be here? It's a beautiful day....the sun is shining....there is a gentle breeze.....the birds are singing ....and we are all together. What more could we desire?? Look around you...there are friends, sharing not only their ART, but their very souls.

My fave ART quote from Master da Vinci says:

Where the SPIRIT does not work with the HAND....there is no ART...

Isn't that true for you as well? My ART comes from within......I treasure the gift I was given and thank God every day for the ARTful journey he is allowing me to take. So, what are you waiting for?? The Magic Carpet stand is right over there?? See it?? Go, choose your carpet and climb aboard......the magical journey has begun. Yes, you might get lucky and win a prize or two....but that my friends is merely the icing on your cake. I think Lisa said it best:

"This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.......in the end it's about finding kindred spirits."
Ready.......let's fly........

I sat on my front porch, in my favorite rocking chair, under the shadow of my mighty oaks.....daydreaming of my contribution to OWOH this year. As I let my mind wander with thoughts of far away lands, magic carpets and treasure to be found......I kept coming back to the same themes, over and over. I saw "DREAMS" and "BEADS" and "ART Journal." So, I turned my ART muse loose and this is what she created.......


This altered composition book is the perfect place to record your secret Dreams, your Magic ARTistic travels, your ART to try ideas.....whatever makes you smile when you put ink to paper.




Now, no self-respecting ARTist is going to go off flying around the world on her Magic Carpet without some bling!! Here is a bead crochet necklace spilling over with all the colors of the Heavens, with stars and moons to be your guide.




And finally, a D-R-E-A-M banner to inspire your ART in your studio or maybe your dreams hanging above your bed. Wherever it hangs, let it serve to remind you to follow your heart and let your dreams take flight.....



I am so thrilled you chose to share this journey with me. Please leave a comment on this post to play along and be entered to win one of these three ART offerings from the Heart. Please make sure to leave your email address or blog contact information. You have until February 14th to enter......winners will be drawn on the 15th!! Good Luck!!

Thank you for stopping by.....see you on Caravan.....I'll be the one wearing the pink sparkly crown.
