This past couple of weeks I put my ALBM album aside and worked on a banner I saw featured on TvWeekly, and I had a ton of fun, it was easy and fast to make and I took some pics today so you could see it, is going to hang over my door in my scraproom and it´s super springy I´ll have to do one for halloween and Christmas now.
(the pretty kitty in the back is not included in the banner)
(is kind of a long banner, excuse the mess in the back)
I´m so happy and proud of myself today I started conquering one of my biggest fears: lizards; I am terrified of lizards, big or small, green or blue, vicious or tamed, caged or free they simply FREAK ME OUT!! But today leaving home to go to work I greeted our neighbors who love animals and have a wide variety of them, including 4 dogs, 1 ferret, 1 rabbit and now also a green lizard and they wanted to show it to me, oh yes you know it I started to freak out and they were trying to get me to get close to it and I politely refused and then it occur to me, why was I so afraid? So I got close and gently rubbed Rene´s (green lizard) back with my finger, its been over 12 hours and I can still describe in detail exactly how it felt to touch it, I felt so good about myself maybe next week I allow them to place it on my hand, is a small step for manking but a huuuge step for me.
Tomorrow we have craft meeting and who knows what could happen there, fun times for sure, I also worked on a card today I´ll take a pic tomorrow and also work on my ALBM album, have a great weekend everybody and hope you all create a lot!
Great Banner! Love all the embellishments you used. Simply lovely.
ResponderEliminarCongrats on taking that first big step conquering your fear. I like to say "you need to take baby steps to get you through".
Have a great weekend.
The banner is adorable! Love love love it!
ResponderEliminarLida, thanks for the sweet comments on my blog this weekend. I truly appreciate them.
ResponderEliminarThe banner is wonderful and the kitty in the background is too cute. :) Great job taking steps towards conquering your fear of lizards. Don't they have the coolest skin?
Beautiful banner! What fun!
ResponderEliminarAnd well done with the lizard :) It can be so hard to deal with fears like that!
Oooo...the banner is really cute! Very inspirational and it's a great idea to make seasonal ones.
ResponderEliminarI know what you mean about being afraid of different kinds of critters. For me, it's frogs and snakes. It's awesome that you faced your fear!
I totally love your banner and you did such a good job. I spend a lot of time staring at green lizards, outside on my smoke breaks. I keep my distance, but they remind me so much of dinosaurs. I can't hold one though, you're brave!
