"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Many Uses

The patterns in this ice puddle caught my eye on our morning. I do love nature art!

I played a bit with it digitally for a photo montage to send to Alyson....and share with you.

Happy Birthday to my friend Patty! I tied this tag around a little treat bag and took it down the street a few days ago.

I'm not sure I'm going to stop making these tags anytime soon. There are so many uses for them.

The words may change....the size may change...but they'll still spread just as much joy!

Lynn F sliced up some free greeting cards she got from the American Heart association to make bookmarks. She included words of inspiration and encouragement on the back and is going to offer them at her HOA lending library. Great idea Lynn! Thanks for sharing! 

They reminded me of this little pack of undies. And lo and behold there's some big pink polka dots Martha!

      TA DA indeed! Thanks for celebrating that Dotty!

      And I do see the graffiti connection in the ice puddle.

    MaryAnn how do you get color behind the ice? I have a bunch of photo I took of similar images on an ice pond. Love to see what it looks like with colors.
    Thanks

      Oh...I love when people ask questions!!! They are just filters. In this case I did the photo montage in an app I love using called "unfold." It took me a little while to get used to it...but now I can do something like this in less than a minute. You can group photos and then edit each one...and in this case these colors were an option. iPhoto has some filters...but not colors like this.

      I'm happy to help further! You can even send me the photos and I'll do it for you!
