old photos, playing...and a project.

i think i am working on a project.

i'm not quite sure yet what it is...but maybe...just maybe it might be a

bliss book.

for those of you who have been around for the past 3+ years...

you know me by my bliss e-mails.

you know...the ones i used to send out on a near daily basis with photos and words of inspiration.

the ones i stopped sending out because i wasn't FEELing it any more because of life circumstances.

i so did not want to send something out that i wasn't FEELing mySelf.

i made the decision it would have been

an untruth to send them.

so i stopped.

~*~

anyway....

in the past couple of days something VERY exciting happened.

i was contacted by a feng shui artist/decorator asking for some of my images she had seen and was interested in using.

so...i had to dig DEEP DEEP into my photo archieves to find them.

in the end...she was unable to use them for sizing reasons.

but...WHAT AN EXCELLENT LEARNING PROCESS it has been...and i am so grateful someone wished to use them....whether she could or couldn't...the EXPERIENCE was part of the journey.

~*~

but...wow!

i found some fabulous photos i wanted to share with YOU.

they have been patiently waiting to be seen.

and

i

started

playing with them.

~*~

this one i am going to send out as a postcard to a pen pal.

(more on that in another post)

kind of 1960's ish

~*~

and this one....

mmmmmmm....i love the tones.

~*~

and...

i don't know why i like this....

but

i

just

do.

as i am going thru the photos...i am thinking...i would like to have a small little book of them with words to look at.

something pretty to pick up and look thru

when i need to remember

beauty and the journey i am on.
