Inspiring Words :)

A poem that Mother Teresa had on the wall of her bedroom is as follows:

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway."

These are wise words, and the reason Mother Teresa was able to make such a difference is probably because she believed them. You can do anything - it doesn't matter what anyone says! :)

Card Descriptions

Wow. Christmas Eve, already? My wonderful winter break is slipping away! Nooooooooo! I need more free days!+1 if you agree!

Now for some close ups of some of my first designs of cards. I created each of these cards with an inspiration in mind, and therefore have a story to tell on each one. On the back, I wrote these descriptions. For instance, on my signature winter card, The Snow-woman (Note the earrings on her!), I write the story that I had in my little kid head when I created it. I think that the back inspiration adds a little uniqueness and a homemade, real quality. The cards are bright and neatly packaged, yet have a special feel to them that I love! What makes me smile isn't earning money for myself, but that some people out there will have a happier life because of our efforts. :)

What have you guys been doing lately? Comment below to tell me about your holiday break and which card description you think is the coolest!
