Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

      Thank you so much Helen...it's been a crazy, busy weekend...have missed catching up on everyone's news. I had a quick look at your blog today...how wonderful that that little girl wants one of your paintings...how more wonderful that you can fulfill that wish. You know this is going to be one of her most treasured possessions for her entire life. Can't wait to go back tomorrow and read properly!

Go on...make my day...
