Hello all of you wonderful readers in Blogland! I hope everyone is having time to create. I had a few days where I didn't feel good enough to do much of anything. The weather is super hot; but that is expected this time of year. I love having sunshine every day; so no complaints. Right? I think other people have had good weather or super hot this year so far. I hope it doesn't effect the crops. That is always an issue when the weather is so hot. I know there were some major floods in a few places; so I hope all of you and your families are OK.
I created a blog post about myself and my creativity process. It was for "A Different Kind Of Blog Hop". I would love for you to read it to get to know me better. It is a long blog; so relax and read it when you are not rushed for time. Just click on the link. I wish everyone could participate in this type of blog hop; so we could all get to know each other better. Anyone that wants to participate can. Just answer the questions you see on my post and link it back to mine; letting people know you were invited by me. I would love to read all about each of you. If you do participate; be sure to let me know; so I can read it.

I had a challenge trying to color hair with this card. I practiced off and on for several hours. I finally walked away and then came back, chose new colors and didn't practice. I just decided to color it as best I could. I do better with blonde hair; but wanted to do at least brown. I guess practice makes perfect; but I guess we all have those kinds of days when our coloring just doesn't turn out the way we want it to.
I created this card for the fabulous Path Of Positivity Challenge - Possibilities. Lisa created this positive uplifting blog for all of us; and I think it is fabulous. When I saw this image; I thought of the many possibilities we have in life. Within each of us lies billions of possibilities; just waiting for us to see them; grab hold and accept any choice we want. Sometimes we are afraid to let go of what other's have thought of us or of the dreams they have for us. Many times it requires stepping out of our comfort zone and just going for it. You won't know what you can or can't do until you try. You can be or do anything. Go after whatever it is that you want in life. It is within your reach; if you just can imagine it, see it and believe it; then it can be yours. Imagine the Possibilities!
