as i was "working" in the studio i accidentally spilled a jar of sequins all over the floor. my first reaction was how lame i was. i totally forgot to close the lid. in looking at the mess i instantly saw this shimmery happy mess as the prettiest mess i've made yet. it's so easy to stop looking at things with a different perspective. or maybe i'm just going crazy :) but i've been reflecting. pondering. willing and working at finding new ways to explore 2011 with a shimmery new perspective. my father always says to not wish for things that people can steal from you, but to pray for things that can never be stolen. like happiness. wisdom. hope. grace. love. i want 2011 to overflow with a lovely shimmery light of all these things in my mind, my heart and my soul. i'm ready :)
as i was looking through my files, (having another "back your things up" party in the studio today :) i found a few pictures of the only other mini i completed in 2010. it was for a class i taught early on in the year. i'm happy with it because i used the album filled with papers & embellishments i designed. And i had so much fun teaching spray paint & crazy sewing skills to the loveliest group of women. i hadn't shared photos of it so here you are... i hope you enjoy xo.
i wish you a shimmery & lovely day for the rest of 2011

These pages just took my breath away! Love!
Have a great night!
What a gorgeous mini! Love all the detail...paint splatters, felt flowers, doilies...so yummy! TFS! When are you opening your new store?
Oh, that we would all spill more sequins on our floor. And then be like you, Debee, and take the time to enjoy that moment. Good work.
Fondly,
Glenda

Debee, we were just reflecting on how much we LOVED your class at Reflections! (see what I did there?) This book was so much fun! I hope you teach there again!
Hey, I was in that class and I LOVED it! I loved it so much that I bought a second kit, and I have the last page with the felt flower/art on it hanging on my inspiration board. I love it and smile every time I see it. Reflections was a TON of fun and I use your techniques ALL the time so THANKS for an awesome class.
Come back soon! Here's to an awesome 2011.
Happy New Year! Love your style!
Holding tightly to the words of your Dad! Brilliant I say:)
Happy New Year. Hoping all of your shimmery dreams come true in 2011!
Totally love the pages! I am missing my spray can due to the wicked weather outside. :( Wet, wet, wet! The splatters are "perfect" on the last page. Sigh!
