Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ I Am An Artist

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".

I Am An Artist

I am an artist.

My definition of art is creating
something with my hands that is an
expression of who I am.

Art is a part of me.
I can't escape the urge to create,
to get out my feelings in the way
of paper and glue. Or losing myself
behind the lens of my camera.
I am so thankful for my art.

It's my own personal therapy.
And in the process I am leaving my mark
in the works I create.

I am an artist.

And there is nothing else in the world
I would rather be.

I thought I would share this poem today because my daughter's favorite class right now is Art. Plus, if we scrapbook, make cards, stamp, or do paper crafts projects...it works for us too. Wouldn't it make a cute layout showing us making something...and have this poem in the layout?! Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Family Tree

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".

Family Tree

Apart we are in many ways, and different we remain
Though we are still connected, the same blood runs through our veins
It unites us when we are lost, in dark times it is our key
Its where each one of us belong, in the (INSERT YOUR FAMILY NAME) Family Tree

 

I thought I would share this poem today because I think it would look great with the tree overlay that you can make with the Artbooking Cricut cartridge. My scrapbook buddy Dawn made a pretty layout...and when I saw this poem it reminded me of it. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)
