If nothing else it is my hope that this week has been full of remembrance for you all. May joy and grace fill your days and hope always live in your heart. Creating a Week As Art was quite an experience for me as it was not just about art work but about putting myself back in that very difficult time 10 years ago when the world seemed to stand still and a new reality was created. Through this a gentle, invisible hand if you will, guided me one which whispered leading me through moments I had not really intended to visit or relive. However, I am grateful beyond words for this opportunity and can only hope I honored the memory of this time sufficiently.
As a final giveaway my book publisher Northlight, has offered to gift a copy of my book to one reader (US residents only please). So without further ado the giftaway is open, please leave a comment on this post as well as a way to contact you if your information is not visible. The recipient will be announced on September 21st 12:01 PST.
Walk in your days with a heart full of hope!
I Love TheHIVE


This week was a good time of reflection for me as well- it has certainly changed our world and the world for our children. Thanks for your thoughtful posts and giftaways- I bought some resin but haven't had the courage to use it yet.

Kristen, what a lovely piece. I'm very fond of the construct of "grace", so that makes this one of interest immediately! I'd be thrilled to win your book.
