couldn't resist

ok, i've been contemplating how to revise my blog banner since i've been learning more about photoshop elements. as i turn my interests more and more to vintage art elements, i could not resist utilizing an element so in tune to my daytime job, an antique mortgage. i talk here in my blog how my career affords me the ability to pursue my artistic inclination. i may as well acknowledge that in my blog. makes sense? besides, i love the art of the written word. it is so powerful. i don't think we give the written word the respect it deserves. just ask someone who does not know how to read how important the written word is - they know all too well as it impacts them so greatly with their lack of ability. learning to read and write is a gift we should all be grateful to have. there was a time, not all that long ago that many were not afforded this luxury. writing is beautiful also. there are those of us who are afflicted (or endowed, i'm not sure which) of the love of all things font. i read about this in digital scrapbooking magazine. i have found a kin in this group of digital scrapbookers. just like my love for paint, glue, paper, thread and fabric. colors call out to me. patterns scream at me. it is a wonderful day spent in my studio surrounded by my passions.
