I didn't look at this week's Illustration Friday word until this morning.  One of the girls from my Swoon show is perfect!  I apologize for being a little lax on my posting these last few days~ my grandparents have flown in from Pennsylvania for a visit, and I have been enjoying my time with them. It is the first time they've flown since the 1950s. I am so proud of them!

*

I will be staying out at the lake this upcoming week.  I am bringing a lot of work with me {like the bookmarks that I still haven't finished}. Hopefully I will have it ready to share with you by Friday.

*

Today? I need to get in gear and finish straightening up. My grandparents are making the trek to Missoula to see my house for the very first time. I can't wait!

*

Have a wonderful Monday~

I know I will!

Strange, isn't it?

IF*brave

She new that she must be brave~

It would be a long journey through the dark cave,

but it was the only way to get through the mountains.

IF*perspective

From her perspective, 

she could see nearly everything 

that happened in her tiny village.

IF*adrift

 

"What does it mean?" she wondered. 

Her dream was vivid: a golden fish, sprouting from her head; 

a ship under a blue moon, floating adrift through a sea of aspens. 

Rebekah knew that one day she would understand the dream.

It just was not time, yet.
