Lilura

Not too long ago, Pam at yoborobo had a Giveaway. She drew this adorable little witch, Lilura, and I was the very lucky winner.

Lilura arrived today and she is SO cute. I will frame her and hang her on my gallery wall.

If you haven't visited Pam's blog, please do. She is one of my sweet blog friends and she has a way with words that WILL make you smile! Pam is multi talented ~ she draws, makes stuffed skellies, critters and monsters, and she writes children's books. She was recently published in Stuffed Magazine. Visit her etsy shop (yoborobo), too. You won't be sorry!

Thanks, Pam. I love Lilura!

audrey said...: I totally understand. You have a black pointed head and your eyes are big and green sometimes. I mean you wear a black pointy hat sometimes and you have small green eyes. I mean you don't ever wear a black pointy heat and your eyes are brown. I mean...; October 14, 2010 at 12:31 AM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

~ James Kavanaugh

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
