Top 10 Signs


Happy Sunday my Honeysuckle Breeze Peeps.......  Loved one of my notes from The Universe this week:


Marlynn, the top 10 signs a really huge dream of yours is about to come true, are:

10. You regularly visualize the end result, the after-party, or beyond.
9. Every day you "show up," doing something about it.
8. You're not attached to how it will come true.
7. It really matters to you; you really care.
6. You know who the first 3 people are that you'll call with the news.
5. You're smiling and winking way more than normal.
4. Sometimes you speak and behave as if it already has.
3. It probably doesn't depend upon specific people.
2. You already know what your next goal is.
1. You keep whispering, "Sweet! Thank you! Yes!" with clutched fist.

Sweet! Thank you! Yes!
    The Universe
Did you just smile and wink, Marlynn? Good, keep on it.
The past week has flown by very quickly as has this weekend.  Love that the 2012 Olympics have begun and equally happy that Bravo is showing the tennis matches live everyday. Wanting Roger Federer to win his gold medal. Four years ago - he won silver and gold in doubles.


Went on a field trip to Michael's on Thursday and found some really cool goodies including Retro Candy.... oh my .... they also had some great new tissue tapes from Tim Holtz and yes, I bought! 

Have been creating in my little ATC size travel art journal (4"x3" Pentalic Sketchbook).  Yesterday, I found an odd little show (after tennis was over on Bravo) on Science Network (thinking it is in the Discovery TV networks) called Dark Matters--Twisted But True. Sounds like my kind of show - and it was. Also was creating while it is on..... yup, it gets a little odd. LOL  Beginning with the new Tim Holtz tissue tape. This tape is so cool as a background on a page:

and then the after photo - using a transfer (Lesley Riley Tap Transfer Artist Paper) I brought back from Art and Soul in February from Lesley Riley's class.  Love her transfer paper - it is idiot proof which would me me!




and on the other side is the "back side" of my creation called "Send In the Clowns."  I am loving playing with this back side trying to keep the cool design that bled thru from the other page.  Also another new Tim Holtz tissue tape on the left hand side of the page:




and here is what started it all -  Send in the Clowns - that created the above "back side" page. It was the Sharpie outlines that did the bleeding:



And the final two pages this week was my salute to egg heads all over the world.  I am a "Big Bang" Fanatic. Love Leonard, Raj, Amy, Sheldon, Penny, Howard.... and on and on. Love them and will just keep watching the reruns.... This inspiration came from an old cook book I picked up off of Ebay a number of years ago.... Egg Salad....




And the opposite page features Egg Beet Salad.... along with some other friends....


Between my summer workouts (Wednesday and Friday), my cardio boxing (Tuesday), cardio tennis (Saturday), and some regular tennis on Sunday's, I am really so happy that I wanted to start creating again. It was a dry spell. You have a great week and I will see you next weekend - if not before, who knows!
