I WILL Beat Depression

I know this has nothing to do with crafting or creating but in a way I am creating a new me. I have decided to put myself first and get some help for the depression I've been struggling with for years. With the support of my family and friends I know I can beat this! Hopefully as I begin to heal I will find myself crafting again, as it's always something I've loved to do and it brings me an inner peace.

I had a fun time creating with the Bracket Frame.  I used the Avonlea Paper Pack, which is just lovely.  I decorated the frame with Opaque Pearls, Liquid Glass, Floret Paper Flowers.  I also created the blue flower using a shape cut with the Art Philosophy Cartridge.

My First Blog Hop

So as those few of you that follow my blog have noticed, I don't post often.  That is something that I am hoping to rectify as I have just joined a cross Canada blog hop featuring Close To My Heart products.  I'm looking forward to participating and can't wait until it goes live tomorrow.  Stay tuned :)
