Kiedy podczas prezentacji kolega zapowiedział ją protekcjonalnie:

"A teraz głos zabierze nasza piękna pani dyrektor",od razu usłyszał:

"Dziekuję naszemu pięknemu panu dyrektorowi".

MONDAY QUOTE

Our lives are a flood of images and we are collectors who keep a strange assortment of images: moments of extreme emotion, pain, beauty, and fear stand out. Events we're taught to remember: weddings, graduations, births, deaths. Then there are the millions of images that we can't shake out of our heads, that come to us at strange times - things we can't remember why we remember: the gold threads in an old stereo speaker, the way the light hit a thousand cars in a parking lot by the water, the face of a stranger in a restaurant, a friend standing in a pool - you can't remember where, slapping the water with the flat of her hand. Memory is a sieve that holds curious things. A life is a trail of strange, colorful memories.

WEDNESDAY QUOTE

“Love yourself — accept yourself — forgive yourself — and be good to yourself,

because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”
Dr. Leonardo Buscaglia (1924-1998); professor, author

I would like to wish everybody

Merry Christmas

Wesolych Swiat!

SUNDAY QUOTE

“Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play”

Henri Matisse

FRIDAY QUOTE

Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are.

When you realize there is nothing lacking,

the whole world belongs to you.

Lao Tzu

CHOCOLATE OBSESSION

I am totally obsessed with Peppermint Bark Chocolate.
It is my favourite flavour of Christmas season.

I have at least one little square

(or two, or three, or more... who cares!) every day.

I will make sure to buy some for January before the end of December,

because they are special limited editions.

WEDNESDAY QUOTE

“Life means to have something definite to do—a mission to fulfill—and in the measure in which we avoid setting our life to something, we make it empty. Human life, by its very nature, has to be dedicated to something.”
Jose Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955); philosopher

QUOTE

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication.

Remember all things are possible for those who believe.”
Gail Devers (b.1966); three-time Olympic 100 meter champion

...

Finally yesterday I made a bookmark for myself. I was tired of using old envelopes, receipts, pieces of paper, etc.

“We are all in the process of becoming. ”
Audre Lorde (1934-1992)

LAVENDER FARM

Finally finished - 2 page layout from one-day trip to the lavender farm.

OH BOY!!!

Recently, I haven't had too much energy for creating. However, last Monday a baby boy was born, so a card had to be made. This gave me an opportunity to use my new Martha Stewart punch and, for the first time, flowers. I have admired them on others creations, but until today I haven't had a chance to use them - of course I have a really nice collection.

CHRISTMAS 2008

I'm presenting my Christmas cards for this year,

BLOG CANDY U ARINE

Arine urzadza blog candy. Do wygrania piekna lala i nie tylko.

And while it takes courage to achieve greatness, it takes more courage to find fulfillment in being ordinary. For the joys that last have little relationship to achievement, to standing one step higher on the victory platform. What is the adventure in being ordinary? It is daring to love just for the pleasure of giving it away. It is venturing to give new life and to nurture it to maturity. It is working hard for the pure joy of being tired at the end of the day. It is caring and sharing and giving and loving…

THANK YOU CARDS

They are really simple. After making them I bought heat gun and I started embossing.

I know that the quality of pictures is not good. Sorry.

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.

What you have caught on film is captured forever. ...

It remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything."

Aaron Siskind

"If you have ideas and imagery, technique will follow."

"We all have our time machines.

Some take us back, they're called memories.

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

Jeremy Irons

About a month ago I received a special order for a bookmark.

I had to use 2 pictures and a quote. The artistic part was up to me.

Here is the result.

Finished lately. The pictures were taken in may so they were not waiting to long.
I still have to scrapbook my engagement picture. I chose pretty busy paper and because of that I have problem with finishing it.

Today I made first Christmas card for this year.

I am not extremely happy with it, but it can be for now.

Maybe tomorrow I will try again.

“Tell me and I'll forget;

show me and I may remember;

involve me and I'll understand.”
Chinese Proverb

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own.

No apologies or excuses.

No one to lean on, rely on, or blame.

The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey

- and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

This is the day your life really begins.”

“Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.”
Charles Dickens (1812-70), novelist

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”
Mother Teresa

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away."

Ideas are good and dreams are great.

But they only become goals when they're written down.

Love doesn't make the world go round.

Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

We do not remember days we remember moments.

you see?

Smile, and your friends

smile back."
