ahh ... a new week is coming to an end once again! it's amazing how time flies ... the older you get, the faster it flies ... "time on turbo" i call it! UGH! there's just not enough time in a day to do all the things you want to do, there's not enough time in a lifetime actually ...
with all this limited time ... it's a good thing i managed to make one creation for 2 challenges!
this week's creation is for simon says stamp and show's "tim holtz inspired" and inspiration avenue's "the power of words". two separate challenges, that have somehow combined my life philosophies and my creative style.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am drooling on my keyboard that is gorgeous I love it. Great work. Yes time flies by. I say it is "Time is like a roll of toilet tissue the closer to the end the faster it goes." LOL.
