Only Love Remains - Another Year and Another Altered Art Tag

First, I hope the New Year is going well for all. I guess it's not too late to say that. ☺

As always, I begin the New Year with great ideas and intentions of forging new directions. I did find my way through a few things on last year's list, but I certainly hope to improve on that this year. As long as I do what I can each day, I count that to the good. It's only when I don't do what I certainly can do that there is a possibility of regret.

Anyway, here is my first Altered Art Tag of the year. The message always inspires. I hope it lifts you too.

Be back soon.

Okay, back to way.

Keepsake Altered Art Gift Tags

I love creating these Altered Art Gift Tags, especially this time of year. Each tag carries an inspirational message, and provides me with an opportunity to use many wonderful bits and pieces I have stored away in my studio. What do you think?
