I was thinking about what to call this blog last night, and this image popped into my head.
It is the cover of a sketchbook I bought from an Etsy seller a few years ago. I had just discovered Etsy and was moved to purchase something. I liked the idea of a website where you could buy something handmade, directly from an artist. I liked the idea of owning something that was made with care in some one's home. So I humbly plopped down about three dollars and ordered this little book. Over the years this book has held a lot of important memories. I wrote my wedding vows in this book. I wrote thank you letters to friends and family. I planned the layout of my daughter's nursery. Lately I've been filling it with prayers for my baby.
I wonder sometimes if the woman who made this book knew how precious it could be for someone else. As artists I think that sometimes we are unaware of how much our art can effect other people. Anyway, I thought that this book could be a bit of an inspiration for this blog so that is how I came up with the name. Hopefully this blog will encourage me to create art that may inspire someone else one day.
