A friend told me a story once. As a young man he had a number of collections. As he got older he began to look at the collections on his shelves and he started to see the items in the collections as tiny anchors - somehow, each piece, was weighing him down. So he decided to sell all of the collections - to get rid of all those heavy anchors. I think about this story as I look around my home - particularly in my office and craft room. My anchors are a different type of collection - mostly business papers, receipts, more papers and a craft room that "runneth over" with anything that might one day be utilized in a project. I wonder what would happen if I released some of these anchors - if I let them go. I wonder how that would move me...What anchors are weighing you down?
I wanted to share with you the final decorations for my niece's party. These "wands" will go into vases with a few other wands. Creating these decorations was made much easier with the Big Shot, a few punches, and a little ink and stamping. Here is the second version - using a bit of embossing with the Big Shot. I hope you like them :)
