I am grateful for life
And all that I love
I am grateful for the Earth
And the Sun up above
I am grateful for my spirit
And my inner being
For the One that I express
And the joy of this feeling

I've nominated you for the "One Lovely Blog" award. It's on my blog: http://dreamwiththefishes.blogspot.com/2008/12/next-award-to-pass-on-is.html
Thanks for your wonderful compliments to me on my blog! I'm glad you're enjoying the goodies stash. I'm also grateful for your having begun painting again and started blogging. It's great to see your work and I enjoy reading your words. I'm so happy 2008 has been good to you and I wish you even greater joy in 2009! xoxo Serena
what a fun and colorful page! love the different pattern. wishing you the best for a happy, creative and artylicious 2009!
I have already left a comment on this scrumptious picture but, hey, what is wrong with another one. Fantastic. You asked me if I know of the author Frank Baum and, of course, I do. My claim to "Oz" comes from a different direction. We Australians calls ourselves Aussies which we pronounce OZZIES so it follows that the land of our birth has been shortened to Oz (with apologies to Mr Baum!).
Love your Jack Johnson tracks
I look at your art and I just can't imagine you not painting, so I am so grateful for that in 2008, too. I was just admiring your journal pages this morning on flickr! (I've got to get active in Nancy's group again. I miss it so)
I am so grateful to have "met" you this past year. Definitely one of my favorite things from 2008!
Superb. Love the colour combination. Wise words.
The quote on your collage is a GREAT GIFT!!!!! Thanks for the reminder!!!
A beautiful page...an inspiring quote...I love visiting you! :)
