Since I've been reading about words for the year on some of my faavorite blogs, I've decided that "possibility" is going it as my word for this year. Several challenges inspired this journal page: Crazy Amigos' "Brand New Start" challenge, One Powerful Hour's "Inspirational Word" challenge,Wednesday Stamper's "When I Grow Up challenge, and Illustration Friday's word "Confined" sent me running in the opposite direction. This journal page started with a background from the dictionary, the page with "possibility" on it, although I don't know if you can even see that any more. Then, I added a handpainted image from a Tim Burton-inspired fashion spread I cut out of Harper's Bazar, acrylic paint, handcolored scrapbook paper, and flourishes with a rubber stamp. Now that I think of it, she looks a bit like a fairy godmother, which is exactly what I'd like to be wne I grow up.
"Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today." Mark Twain. This is what I believe. This is what my life as a wife, a mother, a teacher, a friend, and an artist have taught me.

Great post and what a stunning piece!
Love today's art. You are going to discover how great it is to have a word for the year. Mine hasn't hit me yet. I been thinking and thinking. Nothing.
I got your distress signal the other day. Stupid people! Sorry you had to deal with that.
It's POS-SI-BLE!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great song that is!!
And going for the impossible... cheers.
Once again, a stunning piece, Alberta! She looks as though her heart is open to many 'possibilities' with her radiant positive energy. Hugs, Terri xoxo
This is way cool, Alberta. It's funny, I just put up a post on my blog about my word for the year, which I hadn't even thought about doing until it struck me a couple of hours ago.
Life is a fair shake
Impossible pessimism
Opt for possible.
