Project Pick of the Week
As part of this post today, I get to share a piece of Unity art that caught my eye this week. 
I saw this layout by Laurel Seabrook over on Two Peas and literally gasped. It’s just so pretty!!!
Inspirational Quote
One of the things that we are supposed to do as part of our Tuesday DT posts is to share a quote we love. I have this one stored on my Pinterest boards and just love it….

My Announcement:
…and that brings me to my announcement.
You’ll notice that I’m not going to be around quite so much over the next little while. I’ll still be here, but probably working more in the background and less on the art side, because….
I am doing what I love. 
Writing.
Today, my author website and 
my author Facebook page went live.
I’m writing romantic suspense and my first book, 
Operation: Endgame, will be available Sept, 2012.
Come like me on my new sites!

Once upon a time….

Once upon a time there was a beautiful little Princess. 
Normally she was a sweet and lovely child. 
But one horrible day, she decided to disobey the Queen’s edicts.
As a result, she was punished and was very sad indeed.
But at her heart, she was a Good Little Princess.
Not once did she complain about her punishment.
In fact, she tried to see the good in the circumstances.
The Queen was impressed with her strength and positivity.
As a result, the next day, the Queen wanted to do something to uplift the Little Princess.
A gorgeous, glittery card featuring the Princess was just the way to her heart.
The card was much appreciated by the Princess and it made her smile.
It was a beautiful smile. Just like the Princess.
The End.
My Princess had a hard day yesterday, 
so this card was created especially (and extra glittery) just for her.
Supplies used:
*{ippity} Dream a Little Dream
*Bo Bunny paper collection
*watercolor pencils
*misc. bling
*misc. glitter
*Martha Stewart border punch
*Nestabilities labels die

Have a great day everyone!
smiles,
Christi
