free ticket

Hi ladies! Liz here, reporting to you live from my laptop...

A while ago my sweet friend Stephanie Nielson posted this quote on her blog. It's so powerful and really spoke to me...
There is in every true woman's heart
a spark of heavenly fire,
which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity;
but which kindles up and
beams and blazes
in the dark hour of adversity.
-Washington Irving
Every one of us has a Spark and that's why we're so excited about this event... to be inspired by other creative woman... by you.

I could really use a get away to focus on my creative spark! I have 3 busy boys and husband who just graduated from college and is still job hunting! SO a little time to focus on what I can create would be much appreciated! I found you thanks to Nie Nie!

Keith and Shasta said...

If you have seen Dieter Uchtdorf's youtube video "Create" (I saw it from Nie's blog) then you know how I feel. "The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul." I cried my guts out when I watched it. I yearn to create, and am stuffed with ideas..."Spark is getting in touch with your creative spirit." Show me how.

Michelle Devine said...
