A Bed of Roses

A Bed of Roses. Collage.
New Year’s Eve will be lit by a Blue Moon and the moonlight will welcome the new year, 2010. Obviously, this only happens once in a blue moon!
As I prepared my dreamboard for the Full Moon Circle, I thought a lot about this. The Blue Moon shining as fireworks go off and the new year rings in. The passage between the first and second decade of this century.
Then I thought about the word I’ve chosen to guide me through the New Year. My word is “ease”. I thought of clouds and minimalism. But in the end my research of the word and its origin lead me to the synonym “bed of roses”, and that was irresistible! So here it is, passionate, romantic ease!

Hi sweetie, wanted to pop by to say Happy New Year and thanks for your constant support and wonderful comments on my blog… it’s so wonderful to have a great community of fellow artists online… i like the ease concept as you start 2010. I always find i jump in like a crazy person! So i will take a leaf out of your book and try easing into the new year myself. :-)
The first 12 days of January are the most important and set the scene for how we live the year so reflect, enjoy and be inspired. :-)
Lovely dreamboard and great wword of intention!
Happy New Year!
Hi, Kate! Happy New Year! Great to be back from our trip and catching up with you here… Feeling jet-lagged and heart-fuzzy after a sweet Christmas, good to be home and in blogland again. Very much enjoyed reading your holiday postings. And this new art work you’ve created is such lovely inspiration for the New Year! New ideas, new intentions and goals–just the thing for a new year. I plan on writing about some too by the weekend. Looking forward to sharing another creative year here with you. Wishing you much love, peace & joy in 2010, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
