Soul Collage, hm? Where ya doing it? I have a few artist friends who have attended several soul collage workshops in the area here and have totally loved and been fascinated by it. You'll have to let me know how that goes. Yep, the upset of the season. I didn't think Cris had a chance, really, though I was rooting for him off and on. That song Adam sang, "Mad World" I believe that was all haunty and dreamy background totally had me in his clinches. His background in theatre intrigues me too. He'll go places for sure probably more than the winner, Cris, don't you think? I was so addicted to the show this year, such great singers and all so nice. Did your girls watch, if so, who did they like?

Yep the lion gets in way but he's kind of mysterious so I'll leave him there, but I read your beautiful comments just fine over on my end. You know how much I appreciate your feedback. My heart is bursting. The blog for me is a personal journal. I can put my images there and then write thoughts and words to convey a deeper meaning of what I am creating. You might want to consider a blog yourself. Sign up for google and check it out. At first I was scared to death to do a blog, maybe some boogie man or wierdo would stop by but no, the comments have been so supportive and insightful. I've really been going into a spiritual domain lately. The religious statues help me to express that. Hope you sign up and then stop by as much as you want. It's always motivating to know my good friends are peeking in.
Love ya. Bev
To minimize the chat, just click on the top bar of the chat. You can click on a member's name to have a private chat.
You can also make the chat box bigger by clicking on the middle of the three buttons on the top right. This is called popping out the window. Then you will be able to drag the window around and position it where you want it. You can also go offline from the chat so your name won't show up in the list on the right. (One of the top right buttons- ho ver over it to see which one it is). Come chat soon!
