My Life Is A Cage...........................


I did not think I would ever create an ATC again, I have had some people be really nasty to me a few years ago and it put me off all sorts of art. I didn't want to go out in public, because of nasty wispers, I just locked myself away and cried.   I did manage to continue creating my cards and I have even managed to do things that I thought I would never ever do, like create cute..... LOL




















I received an email from the wonderful Marion Bokelmann earlier this year, asking for me to participate in her annual ATC swap.  I have put her off for the last few years hoping that I might get over the pain and hurt and do them again.  Well I am not completely over the pain and yes I still am quite timid but I suddenly got the urge to do it ,with a little help from someone, and words of inspiration from the same person. (Thanks Charlene)  You see on the surface of me there is a strong person that does Electrical work and runs her own security business, on the surface I just get in and get it done.  Then on the other side of things is the pain and lies that others spread and they don't even know me.  Maybe if they got to know me they would understand that all is just nasty stuff unsubstantiated. So now I have decided to fight back, finally.

In doing the stance I have created for Marion's Swap 3 ATC's the theme is "My Life Is A Cage"  I hope this is what she is after. I am going to try and remain strong and get past this.  I feel that a little of my art has been caged by fear and hurt, I need to spread my wings again and try to get on with what makes me happy.  No I will never let those people in again, that damage is done.  This is a new start............. stay positive I will.
