♥ It's wonderful to embrace a new art form -- but realize I have to wait until after the Christmas rush of shows and internet loading and year-end tax preparation to fully explore it.

You not only can be great ... you are great!
ReplyDeleteI really tried enameling, but I think my torch does not work for it - sniff - I love those beads. And the sleeping and reading idea sounds really good, since I feel I have a cold coming at me....
ReplyDeleteThank you for this really nice post.
Lots of points to ponder...and always love pictures! Thanks Lori!
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteI second Barbara's comment - you are great! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree with all of the above and your beads are glorious.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love Stephanie's class when you get a chance to get caught up. There is never enough time.
ReplyDeleteI echo Barbara. You are great! You'll get to the metal smithing when the time is right for you. Meanwhile, I wholly support the curling up with a good book and a long nap philosophy of life. It's really a very good strategy to unlock the creativity that lurks in your subconscious self.
ReplyDeleteLori, You year off paid off. You really learned a lot!
ReplyDeleteAll good reminders. And you are great, Lori. You don't need anyone to tell you different.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day.

Snoozing and reading??? I'm in!
ReplyDeleteWonderful thoughts Lori! Mark Twain was so right. So cosy...ox
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have found that inner calm we all need to embrace this time of year. Thank you for sharing all through 2010. My Christmas wish is that we all have a better year in 2011. Love Mark Twain- he was a genius. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you!
