I was scouring the net today looking for something and then remembered I needed to see if I had been added to Hummies Blog Roll List yet and then decided I should try to contact her again. I went to her site and she had the most wonderful post from the 25th titled "Thought Provoking Video". Talk about thought provoking!! It certainly does make you question things about yourself and the art we produce. Will I make something others will like? Will they gain something from it? Will they be inspired themselves?

One of my favorite parts (well I actually think it is ALL great!) of the song is this: "So I pondered the points of my art in this life, if I make it, will someone take it and think that it is genuine? Would they be glad that I did 'cause they got something good out of it? Would they leave me and be more inspired?"

I can't tell you how often I wonder when I offer my creations to others be it free or tutorial or otherwise ... has it left you with more inspiration? Do you leave my site satisfied with my artwork?

Hummie said it all with her post title ... is certainly is Thought Provoking!!

Click play and see for yourself!!

The Stations of The Cross Freebie

This is what I have for you today. I made some full size crosses which I will post shortly, but those are Pay To Use. This is a Freebie Sample of those geared more toward Tagger Use. The size of this cross is 369 x 532. (The Rosary Cross and beads is very very old and I was given permission to photograph it and use it in this manner. Thank you LeVada!) I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. If you would like to take full advantage of all the crosses at full size please consider purchasing the Full Size Set.

Thank you and have a great day :)

New Awards

I needed to take the time to get these awards listed. I've just started feeling better and want to do these incase I slide down hill again.

I am so sorry, but I have been so far behind that everywhere I went someone already had these awards, lol. So I will have to settle for mentioning the awesome ladies who have found it in their hearts to give me these great awards. Thank you all so much for thinking of me!!

This award was given to me by Andrea at HoneyMoon Arts. Drop by her site and leave some love if you download something. Thanks Andrea!!

This award was given to me by 4 different ladies!

This award is being given to the blogs which are very charming,

these bloggers aims are to find friends not self promotion.

The hope of this award is that, even when the links are cut, even more friendships are propogated. Give this award to eight blogs, who in turn must pass it on to eight more blogs, along with the award and the rules.

Since I don't have anyone new to send them on to ... if you have stopped by and know of a friends blog who deserves these wonderful awards please feel free to snag and pass them along!

OK ... this award came from these wonderful ladies. Thank you girls!!
