Summer 2011 Sneak Peek #4

Hi All!! I am currently in my adorable hotel room in Columbus, OH after a fabulous day with Sarah from Helen Winnemore's. Sarah has treated me to such a lovely day today and I am so blissed out right now. Thank you Sarah for making me feel so welcome and so taken care of!

Tomorrow I will be at her adorable shop all day signing things and chatting and eating pink macarons! (mmmmmmmmm!) Please oh please swing by if you are anywhere near!

Here is the last Sneak Peek for Summer 2011!

This one has been in the hopper for a while, and there have been various moments, various stories and various friends I have wanted to put this into the world for. But the moment seemed right, right now. It is about so many things; the willingness to love, and the willingness to love yourself, the need to sometimes let it go, and the ability to forgive yourself for hanging on, and patience. It is a lot about patience. It's about the courage it takes to leave something behind, or change something that you know for something that you don't on behalf of your own good and about the freedom that always always comes with that.

Right now, this one goes out to the possibility of all of that for some hearts dear to me. And of course, hearts dear to you too.

Let me know what you think!

xoxo

  7. Oh, wow.  Leigh, this one really hit me where I am right now.
    Thank you.  It’s fabulous.

  8. This is AMAZING. You have really touched me with this…so much power in one little card!

  10. oh.my.word. you are a girl after my own {recently declared free} heart! I fell in love with your cards forever ago & have had a quote from my favorite {classic} CurlyGirl card on my blog since I started Suburbs of Utopia. A lot of things have changed over the years on the ‘Burb but the one thing that remains constant is my copyright-infringement header… =) anyways, that was my wordy way of saying ‘Thank you for creating awesomely inspiring takethewordsrightoutofmyheart artwork! I’m a HUGE fan!’ =)

  12. This is just so special and profound. A friend is going through a really hard time right now and I wish I could send this to her.
    I found your blog through the BYW course and I think its gorgeous !!! I’ll be back.

    P.S Fabulous blog design …would you mind talking a little about it with me ?

  14. wow! this has so many levels of meaning to me at this point in life….thank you!

  15. It is about patience, and as much as it’s about patience, I believe timing is right up there too.  I haven’t read your blog in quite some time, but as I stood in my kitchen with a very heavy heart, I looked up and saw your cards posted all over my fridge.  I decided I was going to check things out again, see what’s new, and see if I could feel that sense of companionship I always feel reading your thoughts. 

    As I read this post and card, tears sprung to eyes and rolled down my cheeks.  I didn’t even wipe them away because it was such a cleansing moment, that I didn’t want to interrupt it.  So as I realized that I had been patient, and I let it all go,  I also realized that timing is everything, and I didn’t see this a moment too soon.

    Thank you.

  17. After adoring your art for some time, I just started reading the blog.  I really needed this one tonight!  For all that you do, thank you!

  18. Oh Leigh,
    Helen Winnemore’s is where I found all your goodies for the FIRST time(2007)while visiting my Columbus, Ohio friend Madeline !! I literally spent an hour laughing and laughing and laughing~ it was magical:-)
