I apologize in advance for the light quality. It was evening by the time I received my package...it was brought to me while I was napping in fact. And this morning has brought gray, rainy skies. You know when I pull out Photoscape's Gradient 6 that I'm trying to make a not-so-good photo better.

Never has a gift more perfectly expressed such lofty thoughts and goals. Our dreams, those things which we think of most often, are God-given. Did you know that? We do not dream without His having placed it in our hearts. So we must pay close attention to our dreams.
Thank you, Miss Sandy, for your incredible generosity of talent and spirit. I ♥ you!
So, have you guessed that my dream is to write a book? I'm not even concerned about publishing it, I just want to finish it. More on that another day. What dream are you holding dear?
My mother didn't start writing until she was in her 60's and she wrote short stories and two books. She never submitted them to a publisher. That wasn't her intent. She just enjoyed the process. Now we have them to pass down to generations of our family. So never give up your dream. Love the gifts.
ReplyDeletemay you make your dream come true!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your gorgeous winnings! Such creativity is inspiring. I hope you follow your dream to write a book. Just do a little each day! Yes, I think I may have a book or two in me too. My dreams are tossing all over the place, like a ship in rocky seas. So many possibilities and so little time to get them all accomplished! But as you have noticed, I make many of them come true after I apply a little determination!
ReplyDeleteVee, I hope you will fullfill your dream of writing a book one day. I have dreams of re-decorating my bedroom and changing up the front entry and painting but I am just too tired to do it. (it might be the winter doldrums) Your gift from Miss Sandy is beautiful and you did an great job on your photos. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs, Pam
ReplyDelete've been away from blogging for too long - will have to come back and read more - i love the magnets you're making Vee - what's the kit called? I need to set up[ a craft table and keep working rather than just thinking about it. Glad you won the draw. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful package of beautiful goodies your received!
ReplyDeleteI love knowing that your dream is to write a book. I love your writing style so I am sure it would be a fabulous book.

I must give some thought to my dreams...I don't know right off hand what they would be other than having my children all walk with the Lord!
ReplyDeleteI am going to ponder this out for a while...
Deanna

ReplyDeleteMy dream is to one day have a hobby farm again.
I hope that you will make the time to accomplish your dream. Speaking of God-given gifts, you have one for writing. You have such a beautiful way of writing on the blog. You make me (and I'm sure many others) feel emotions ~ laughter, tears, thought, etc. Your book will be a treasure.
Beautiful win. There are so many talented people in blog land.

ReplyDeleteKeep writing, Vee. You'll get there, word by word, or Bird by bird, as Anne Lamott says.
I, too, have writing aspirations. I have finished one book and have files for more. But I get sidetracked. Easily.
What would we do without dreams?
Signature 'Miss Sandy'! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your thoughts on pursuing our dreams...which are given to us by God. Yea...I like that.
Follow that dream, Vee!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, God does plant them in our hearts. We just need the faith to follow them.
Congrat on all your lovely gifts from Sandy too.
I for one would love to read your book when you write it. Notice I said when!?
ReplyDeleteMy dream right now is to build that little cabin in the woods with Ken.

ReplyDeleteI would love to read your book when you finish it, Vee! You have such a charming writing style...so personal and intimate. I always feel like you're writing just to me. :-D
(My secret dream is to write a book too...maybe a children's book.)
Beautiful gifts from Miss Sandy! She is so very talented. You are also talented, Vee, and I'm sure you will write and engaging book!
ReplyDeleteMy dreams are always of travel and seeing more of the world. There is so much I'd like to see and savor before I get too old to be able do that.
Enjoy your weekend!
A book, I want to write a book. And like you, I don't care if it ever gets published, might be best if I just keep it to myself.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your win :)
Congrats on the luscious goodies, Vee! That Miss Sandy is some artist! She has such a great eye for those little pretties.
ReplyDeleteAnd Yes, you should write a book! You've always got a way with words, Vee. Me? I just wanna quit working and paint all the time!
What a beautiful gift and how inspiring.
ReplyDeleteDreams...oh my, so many, but today God stirred one that brought me to tears, He is doing something in my heart and as the dream was verbalized from someone else, my heart leaped. Now to see Him bring it to past.
Blessings as you push into your dreams and God guides you.
Congratulations on your win! How lovely! Pursue your dreams and write that book! You can do it. I know what ever the subject it will be something we can all enjoy and learn from. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI hope your dream comes true!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful collages!!!
I am living my dream right now. Married to a wonderful man. Love and family....enough adventure to keep me occupied and challenged. Healthy enough to enjoy life. The hope of having meaningful relationships with all my grandchildren. I have all I ever dreamed of and MORE! God has been so good to me....
Beautiful treasures tucked into your dream.
ReplyDeleteI have often thought that you are such a wonderful writer. I hope that you dream comes true. I'll be standing on line at the book signing
