blessings....

This time of year I reflect on all of my many blessings - I recently saw this quote in a video -  "don't miss out on a blessing because isn't packaged the way that you expect..."  I like this reminder of how we sometimes miss the blessings we receive every day because they come in the ordinary, simple things we take for granted.  

All of this led me to create "mini blessings"tm, small paintings with inspirational blessings, that you might want to give a special person.

I also created a special "blessing book" - a present for a friend who was a blessing to me this year.  This book was created from an old rejected painting.  I printed out photos of her grandchildren and family that I collected off her facebook page and collaged them onto various pages along with inspirational quotes.  

This book could be a journal in which she could write down various blessings, a devotional to write spiritual thoughts, a prayer journal or anything she could image.  

Here are the pages...
