My Birthday Thoughts

Birthday dinner at Benihana's with my husband and 3 kids

My beautiful birthday purse
Chocolate cake for everyone!

It's my Birthday today. I'm 49 years young! I try to live by Oprah's advice..."you just need to own it and embrace it!" I just want to know where did all those years go?? I don’t feel 49. I feel like I'm in my 20's, but my mirror tells me otherwise. I see lines, wrinkles and of course the gray hair that now needs to be dyed every four weeks instead of six. And the fact that I just received an invitation to my 31st High School Class Reunion. Okay, 31 is a little odd, let's just say it was the 70's and leave it at that!

Birthdays to me are meant to be celebrated, to revel in the fact that for whatever reason, we are still here on this earth. So I enjoy each moment of each precious year. My journey is intended to continue. This path I travel is filled with many wonderful and incredible people. People I am destined to have a connection with. I have always believed that people come into our lives for a reason, it’s no accident that our paths crossed. When you meet someone and have a connection with them two things are meant to happen: Either you are here to learn from them or they are to learn from you.

Here are a few things I have learned

in my 49 years:

To put God first, trust in him, and have unwavering faith that all will be well.

Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others. Love yourself and you will be loved.

No matter what happens, how bad it seems today, Life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: A rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

Regardless of your relationship with your parents,you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

Making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life…"

Smile at everyone you meet.

Laugh at yourself and with yourself.

When you're feeling depressed put some music on and dance!

It’s okay to make a mistake or fail, just learn from it.

You shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

If you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

Even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

What you focus on with your thoughts and feelings is what you attract into your experience.

In all things, always remember to give thanks. You might not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. If it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Eating a little chocolate everyday is good for you.

I've learned I still have alot to learn yet!

I Love my new birthday purse. Mary created it using hand-made papers she designed! Mary also added a Miram Robert art print to the pocket card. Mary and I both agree she is one of our favorite artist. Can't wait to take my beautiful purse out tonight.

Our New Press Release

Art as an Accessory: New Customizable Purse Allows Crafters to Display Creativity

“Changeable Art Purse” clearly reveals

crafters’ artwork and passions

Pursue Your Art has created an innovative “changeable art purse” that allows crafters, artists and entrepreneurs to creatively display artwork, artist trading cards, photos, promotional materials, and more. Available in 8-pocket and 2-pocket styles, the purse’s unique design features clear vinyl pockets that hold slip-in artwork pieces. The pockets make it easy to update instantly for any fashion occasion. It’s “changeable art” that you wear as an accessory.

Starting with a precut blank pulpboard base (available in black or cream), crafters can create distinctive art pieces to insert into the purse’s high-quality vinyl frame. You can work with a variety of artistic mediums – decorative papers, photos, fabric, paints, stamps, and even digital artwork. Build your artwork on the blank panels and pocket cards; slip them inside the frame, and go. Additional sets of panels and pocket cards are available to create a variety of looks using the same purse body.

Pursue Your Art! founders Mary Welch and Erin Mueller offer the following purse theme ideas:

• Print family photos and slip into the pockets in front of a cheerful print background. Tip:Black& White photos make the purse POP!)
• Decorate panels with papers and embellishments related to an upcoming holiday.
• Print out reduced scans of children’s artwork to highlight a special artist in your life.
• Create samples featuring products you sell as an independent consultant. Store business cards in one of the pockets for easy access (and word-of-mouth advertising).
• Gather memorabilia from a school or military career and take along to special ceremonies.
  

Pursue Your Art! offers a gallery of customers’ creations at their website, www.pursueyourart.com. The founders also maintain a blog with frequently updated tips and ideas for using the purse: http://wwwpursueyourart.blogspot.com/

About Pursue Your Art!Founders (and friends) Mary Welch and Erin Mueller admit their purses should come with the warning, "Do not use if you don't want to talk to anyone or you don't like compliments". They formed their business in 2006, and now operate from satellite offices in Thiensville and Mukwonago, Wisconsin.
