“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” Henry Thoroeau
i had to wait until everybody was asleep to get to work on this week's tag. being that i love poetry and writing so much and that i really wanted tocontribute, i took my time to think which piece i wanted to use.
just a simple pre-raphaelite image took me there. i worked on it for a few hours, coloring it and altering it from its original to make it mine and used another program to add the text. once printed, i mounted it on a background tag in subtle blues, and added the vintage lace and ribbon.
this is what i started out with:
this is what i ended up with
Your lady is so beautiful and you have brought her right up to the present day with your wonderful additions

Beautiful tag, both old-fashioned and contemporary at the same time. I remember those days of never being able to do anything until the children were asleep! As the mother of four sons, it has taken me years to get back to my creative self! Now they are grown up (the youngest two are teenagers) so I have plenty of time and space to work on arts and crafts.
