They are my roots! But then again so are my clay roses too! I did them first and LOVE my time of just being w/hubby and creating them.<br /><br />Isn't life just like that..we take rabbit trails and then find out we need to go back!<br /><br />Wishing you well! Glad you got my sweet lil gift! You are a treasure!<br /><br />Blessings...LorenaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13266383410969740448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-36649670999005547472010-01-18T11:39:46.383-06:002010-01-18T11:39:46.383-06:00Rebecca...

I was scrolling through a few minutes ago to see what was interesting and came upon this post of yours. I cannot begin to tell you how it has blessed me.<br /><br />First what you wrote is something I have been grappling with, too, to some degree. I'll tell you more about that in an email. Thank you for sharing so openly, and for reminding me of the post I did a week ago or so on being true to me!! <br /><br />Secondly, I was deeply touched by your Mom's comment, especially since she called you Becky, and then what she said. My Mom went to be with the Lord in 2004, and as I was reading your Mom's words, I felt that I was listening to my Mom reassuring me. She was also extremely gifted creatively as was her Mom. All I can say as tears fill my eyes, is thank you. This is just too precious for words, and has blessed my heart immensely.<br />Big hugs to you, gal! Be true to you! <br />Lots of love,<br />BeckyBECKYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272099392249278847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-18733203961698873152010-01-17T20:22:36.577-06:002010-01-17T20:22:36.577-06:00Dear Rebecca,

Part of my home is like that and the family and kitchen is more colorful and Frenchish ..Frenchish?? LOL whatever that is. I think you know what I mean. <br />Can you tell me the brand of the paint you suggested. Bungalow White. It sounds like it might be perfect and I trust your taste. I am going with white..<br />Hugs...<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-547191772418472752010-01-17T17:18:34.230-06:002010-01-17T17:18:34.230-06:00Hi Rebecca: I am so glad you find you "peace&...Hi Rebecca: I am so glad you find you "peace".

Seriously, Rebecca, I am totally blessed that I have never paid attention to trends of any kind....I have always done my own thing and could NEVER understand why anyone would want to do/be like everyone else.<br /><br />I believe we all have moments of standing back and questioning. I think that is not a bad thing. <br /><br />Step back to your center....you know where it is.

Your creations are one of a kind, made with love, beautiful roses only you can create, and beautiful bits and pieces of materials that were once loved by someone else. You bring these old treasures back to life with your wonderful touch. Nothing like your creations can ever be from China, or even duplicated. I'm glad you found your way back, because this my friend is what you should be doing.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Debbie from NJPink Roses and Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07292534447306279495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-50079283733602836292010-01-17T11:26:28.127-06:002010-01-17T11:26:28.127-06:00You know, when I lost my job I wondered what my re...You know, when I lost my job I wondered what my real authentic true calling is. I think right now I am in a place where I am needed to watch the grand kids when my daughter needs me to care for them so she can work a day or so a week, or like this past week when she got violently ill with a stomach virus and being pregnant made it worse, so my husband and I were able to care for the three little ones so my daughter could rest. So, using as few words as I can, I am needed right here.

You are, and will always remain, the most talented person I know. Nearly everything I've ever learned to do I know because of you. You have blessed me for so many years and I'm honored to be your daughter.<br /><br />I remember when I was little how you painstakingly helped me earn my sewing and art badges in Girl Scouts. Whenever I do a French Seam or a fringed hem I smile because I'll never forget your patience and love. I was such a slow learner but your were a loving teacher...<br /><br />You still are.<br /><br />I love you most.<br /><br />BeckRebecca Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662129266792835433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-76813705490571435672010-01-16T20:43:57.087-06:002010-01-16T20:43:57.087-06:00I know that feeling of not being in my place.

He has blessed you as a multi-talented person: Design, Fashion, Artistic and Creative. Be it needle or brush in hand, you have enriched the lives of others and by your beautiful word pictures and inspirationl thoughts, you have also enriched your own.<br /><br />Style changes, but often comes full circle. Nothing is ever really new; it is just recycled.<br />I am reminded of a song you shared with me not long ago. "MORE OF YOU." It is when we we follow God's leading for our lives, we are blessed and in reality find ourselves. What you do and share is beautiful. If you are happy with what you do, and in the process bring joy to others-- you have achived GREAT success. <br /><br />You are unique -- there is none other like you.<br /><br />Blessings on you "Little Fairy."<br /><br />Love you-- MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-85744858894374807072010-01-16T16:49:53.229-06:002010-01-16T16:49:53.229-06:00Dearest Rebecca,

It sits on my desk today and I love it more as time goes by. I have pillows, sachets, baskets and paintings. I have taken the little extra treasures you include with each shipping and used them as precious accents throughout my home.<br />Oh, how I love what you create. I will always follow you, pray for you, and continue to be inspired by you. God has given you such a beautiful talent and I am grateful to have met you.<br />Blessings and inspiration to you today.<br /><br />In Grace,<br />MarieMoments of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106070161165702778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-71353901777356341062010-01-16T15:13:09.630-06:002010-01-16T15:13:09.630-06:00Hi Rebecca, I think this is a malady we're all...Hi Rebecca, I think this is a malady we're all faced with from time to time and suffer from. There is so much visual stimulation today that it is hard to stay focused and we are fickle. Maybe because God blessed us with so many talents and we realize time flies by so quickly we just want to do this and do that and not miss anything. You will be happier now with your fabrics and laces and sweet femme notions and will once again some day want to explore something new. One thing for sure you are meant to do is be the friend we know we'll find when we come to your site to visit.

The things that we have loved and passed down to each other, or created for each other - those things never go out of style. Those are the things that you use to create your works of art, the things that God has blessed your hands with.Sometimes we stray away from those things because we need a moment to renew ourselves. Sometimes God has us away to refocus, remember and restore. So looking forward to seeing all that you will be creating in the new year!Sewn With Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137376998525862928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-26095074553619110082010-01-15T22:21:36.772-06:002010-01-15T22:21:36.772-06:00Hi sweet ~r~,
