Thank you ALL for your wonderful feedback on the “Teacher/Educator” card!! I loved hearing your reasons and enthusiasm on the subject! The overwhelming support was for “Teacher” as I suspected, and I have to say, I agree. First thought, best thought I guess. I agree that many different kinds of people in our lives are teachers and that 'educator' has a more formal tone to it. So, “teacher” will go to print! Thanks for your help!
Here is the latest (very very late) addition to the 2012 summer release and I have to admit to being kind of in love with her.
“Adventure” is a common theme with me, but in this case I wanted to speak to the adventure that lies within choice. Now, I don't promote recklessness (though, it is sometimes necessary) and certainly support responsibility in decision-making, but here I am making a case for the not-safe choice. Not the unsafe choice, that's different.
The 'not-safe' choice is the opposite of the choice that you make because you know exactly what will happen and how it will all play out, and even though it might not make your heart sing, it does not involve any risk. Risk is the scary part.
Risk is where the growth happens.
Now, that does not mean that you should bop around taking risky chances willy nilly. Heck, this is from someone who cannot watch scary movies and gets hives during that show where people catch Catfish with their bare hands. (but, c'mon! That seems unnecessary!) But every now and again you will come upon a decision you have to make or a moment where you have to choose, and every now and again you will get that feeling in your stomach and the decision will be extra hard because it has a twinkle in it. That twinkle is the promise of something that awaits you…and it's usually your LIFE.
This one is for the seekers.

I love this one – gret job for life is an adventure that all should enjoy. There is light all around they just have to see it.

Are any of your prints on fabric? If not , what a super quilt could be made!!
as always, another wonderful saying and card. you are the BEST!
love your work! thanks for sharing your talent and creativity with all of us!
Risk is where the growth happens!!! We cant grow and have stories to tell if we dont risk. Life without risk is like a banana split without the banana. This is my new favorite! My craft room needs this on canvas!!!
Love love it!!!
“This one is for the seekers”. I absolutely love it, Leigh. Curly Girl, I say this cuz it’s true – you make my world better. =)
Great sentiment. I know who I want to share this with. When does it come out?
I would officially order one of your 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 magnets… to put next to my OTHER favorite (can’t say previous – love them both)
“There is a direct correlation between the level of happiness in one’s life and the amount of silliness they allow into it” she said “I know. I’ve done studies.”
Oh, I love this card. I want it real big and framed and in my bedroom. 🙂 And as much as I love the card itself, I really needed to hear the encouragement written in the blog.
