I love you VERRY much!

I didn't get picked for the team this time...but a lot of great talent did. Am I disappointed? Of course. I had already envisioned hanging the title 'CT for 2 peas" on my blog, but will it change how I scrap or how often? No. I scrap because I love it. It just means I wont' be adding more stash--well stash I'd otherwise have to purchase, to my collection and I'll have to keep refining my skills to continue to create my own digital elements. Nothing bad about that.

I'm practicing how to not take rejection personally. I know I have my own eclectic talent and I'm content with my artistic expression. It's sometimes hard to remember to give myself approval instead of looking for affirmation from the outside. But I appreciate praise, maybe too much, given my fine tuned co-dependency nature. This is just one more opportunity to accept let down gracefully. Besides how can I be sad when I am blessed with two little boys in my life who express their love daily through hugs, kisses, cuddles and occassionally cards?

I love this early attempt from Owen as he was learning to write. He may have a missplaced "r" but the sentiment is loud and clear. So how can I be sad for long when I have so much love in my life?

  3. Debi, You have a lot of talent and you have gained a lot from applying for the CT at 2peas. You now have a wonderful blog, with followers, another outlet to express yourself freely. There is a silver lining...
