Taking Time to Enjoy Little Things

I have fibromyalgia which is an arthritis type of disease, among other health issues. Fibromyalgia  is tricky because you look fine but you aren't and you never know exactly what is going to hurt or how you are going to feel but you can manage it.  This weekend I had the worst flare up I have had in a long time and it just made me realize that even though I generally do stop and appreciate most little things I should make an effort to do it even more.  Just listening to the rain and watching it yesterday, having dinner with my family, watching a dragonfly fly all around, simple little things.  This is an image I absolutely love and it reminds me of this... the little girl looks so content. I would have bought this set just for this image. It is from Crafty Secrets and it is called Sweet Kids. The background was chalked and the image was colored with watercolor pencils.  I used green papers and pearls to accent this card. The only glitter used was a pearl turquoise on her dress and hat band.(hard to believe I know lol)   Flower Soft was used for the bottom ~ I thought it made it look like a field of flowers. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do : )

  2. Hi Marsha,
    Thank~you, Yes it is under the girl, I would describe it as squished up little tiny curly pieces of foam -- almost like shavings. It comes in a number of colors. It is lots of fun to use and a jar will last a long time. They have a website and a page on facebook if you want to learn more. Hope that helps. : )
