Ask Believe Receive Banner

I woke up this morning with a crazy urge to cancel my plans and stay home and redecorate something, its strange when you give in to these impulses and then read a few hours later something in your daily horoscope like this ..... "right now the skies are strongly suggesting you tidy up your own backyard before anything else.  It's a great time to tidy up any issues you have to do with your home,  renovation or decorating plans and anything else connected to your home life."  So lovely to be in tune on the good days, not so lovely on the heavy crazy planet days.

So what did I do????

Kelly reads his books, "The Secret and The Power" every night, so we thought we would do something for him, I have moved paintings around and hung new gifts, but there was a gap left in the middle, I needed something thin and long.

I used book pages, lettering I printed with the computer, Indian ink and my beloved carbon paper...

I traced a letter onto each page

painted them in ink

and sewed them onto ribbon

with the largest stitch I had ( 4 )

 this is the space

and this is what we made, sort of paper prayer flag affirmations.

The main lesson in "The Secret"is the ASK * BELIEVE* RECEIVE cycle, its something we remind ourselves of everyday, so now we can really remind ourselves and everyone who visits us too.

It is really effective and makes me think that rarely do people have words hanging on their walls, i love it.

how appropriate where the word 'Receive" ended, right above a painting I recieved from Cameron of 'Paint Myself Pretty'



Its a painting she did for '21 Secrets' which i fell in love with and had to have..

she even posted it with real California roses which I had to frame with it, on some beautiful sparkley black velvet, I love the real roses behind a frame, love love love

and I finally have crossed some kind of bridge on my journey where I can hang my most beloved painting, it happens to be my most painful painting that I wasent even able to look at for the last year because I painted it to represent my living hell I passed thru, so scared that if I looked too long I would remember and might magically be dragged back there, kicking and screaming I bet!!

So all in all it was a great makeover morning, a little bit here and there and I will have a new house to look at soon.  And I made up two more ask 'believe receive flags' incase you werent inspired to make your own but still want some.  They are now  hanging about in my Etsy shop.

You can go straight to them here

Well off to make dinner, Italian fish with the fresh catch from the weekend.

I ASK that you be inspired by my journey

I BELIEVE that you are

and I know this because I RECEIVE your wonderful comments

Ohh Cheeseball!! You dont mind though do you!!

Have a truly 'In Tune' day, feeling your way thru your plans

which are so enlivening when changed at the last second.

Much Love
