La La LA









I found these at sweet paul's blog. I really love the way they look. I am constantly inspired by interior design projects. There are times when I all I want to do is craft craft craft.




Maybe I'll go to the Dusty Bookstore tomorrow and buy some old French books. Then, I will paste them on my wall. Ah brilliant! I am so excited.



I also really love this wall decor.

What Is Divine Is Beautiful

Stokstad said, "Many believed that people create art for the sheer love of beauty."


I love creating art because it is beautiful. Everything about it has beauty.  And to me beauty is more than general pleasing appearances.

We are aesthetic beings: constantly concerned with appearances, but in a positive light, ones to appreciate beauty.

Beauty is a divine image.

Divinity comes from the creator.

In us is the creator.

Through the creator we are instruments of divine grace and beauty for other people.

We are all instruments being used by a great artist.

Everyone of us are descendants of a beautiful artist.

From the beginning we have been given the gift of becoming beautiful artists ourselves:

[Artists] that can give beautiful creations to the world.

[Creations] intended to be images of the divine.



 "Many believed that people create art for the sheer love of beauty" that the creator planted in all of us from the beginning of time.

A Song For The Weak

Paper Dolls don't see the pretty things:
Colorful lives and delicate honey on the trees.

Be in better shape my dear friend
In feeling so lonesome.

Picture the land and think of it often.
Save your soul in the trees and rest.

Better yet, lie in the fresh spring grass, 
Count every blade and instantly be made.

Be of it what you may and never cease.
Follow the steps that lead behind, they are yours.

Caramelizing life, in heat and in sweetness.
Penetrating knowledge, driven beautifully here.

When Away



We shine like the 
stars
When away
We reach out and touch
When away
We organize and wake 
When away
We live in the light
When away

And when away, we sway, we stay
In love with the way
he graciously lay.
