Your creative spark is wonderful Deanne! I love what you have made for our Path of Positivity challenge OPTIMISM! The sentiment is perfect; I've not seen this before - original and unique and a blessing for others to see (and our DT Team!) I really love how you have added the twine and the curly wirlies on it! You have captured the essence of Optimism beautifully - I am so glad you entered this month and hope you will join us again! HeArtfully Yours, Samara (DT)
Hello Deanne,

I am so glad that you are continuing to enjoy your visits to the Path of Positivity. We certainly always enjoy seeing your creations. This one is just beautiful in every aspect. I really like your choice of papers and embellishments and of course that sentiment is wonderful. The stitching is also the perfect accent.

I am sorry that it took me so long to come and visit. I've been battling a virus that has been chewing into the time I have available for commenting but I did want you know how pleased we were that you could join us again this month. Don't forget to come and check to see if you are part of our top seven for challenge #5 as we will be posting this info on Monday evening.

I hope that you continue to enjoy life's journey!
