Me? Today?
Certainty
Confidence
Courage
Guidance
A sign
A chance
To be seen

Some days I'm the keeper of wishes and dreams
and other days I'm full of fear and self-doubt.
I feel so incredibly human.

Ms L randomly picked a winner for the collage giveaway. The "wish" collage is going to It's The Things That Make You Go Mmmm. I think somewhere deep inside her subconscious she knew it was meant for her. First she left a comment without a wish, then she came back and left a wish, and then she even went so far as to do her own blog post about it. Isn't that magic? Get in touch Susan.

Can't Wait To Meet You

Did you know it's only 25 days till I'll be sitting on a plane. 25 DAYS. Oh my goodness, that's so wonderfully, fabulously close. Don't worry I've already got a few lists in the making - things to pack, travel arrangements to organise, places to visit, gifts to take, things to buy and bring home for Ms L.

What's more, in just 27 days I'll be checking-in to An Artful Journey, I'll be meeting Monica and Chrissy and Mrs Spotts for the first time, I'll be introducing myself to the amazing box of art supplies above, that I ordered through Dick Blick and shipped to Monica to transport for me. I'll be meeting Kelly Rae Roberts, and spending 3 days learning her painterly, collaging ways. In 27 days I'll be living a dream.

I love remembering how I got here. On a whim and a prayer I signed up for the retreat and was allocated a spot. If you have a moment go and read what I wrote at the time. There is so much to be said for intention, for putting it out there, for trusting.

My next wish is to work out a way to take the laptop away with me, so I can blog along my journey. Apple, you don't want to give us one of your fabulous, shiny, new 21.5 inch iMac's by chance?

Did you know that I'm collecting wishes and dreams? You can pop over to this post and deposit your wish. I'll keep it safe, and warm, and well fed for you. Oh, I love wishes and dreams. I like being the keeper of such important things.

There's even a collage up for grabs for anyone who drops a wish in the comment box before Sunday night.
