this girl...

...this girl was itching to create all day...
...she needed her hands to be busy...
...i know what that feels like...
...the need to make something...
...the feeling of needing to create what's been fluttering inside...
"...mom, can i make one too?..."
she wanted to make a ragamuffin garland like i made last week
only, hers was gonna be PinK!...
so...she gathered her scraps of fabric and ribbons in shades of pink...


she began cutting her strips of fabric
she was amazed by how much she needed
the table was covered in pInK!

then, she started tying the fabric and ribbons onto her garland strand...
one by one...
she could see it coming along after a bit...
then there was more cutting and more tying...
*******
about an hour later...she was done!


so proud of what she made with her own hands...
this girl was satisfied...
...i know that feeling too...
completely fulfilled because you just listened to your spirit and created...
you used your hands to make something wonderful...




so we headed to morgan's room to find the perfect spot for her garland
she draped it across her bed so she could slumber right under it at night




morgan
...i hope you always listen to your fingers when they are itching to create...
...creating is what makes us unique and individual...
...be inspired daily...
...share with us the gifts that make up you...
i love you!
