play.....and rest


not too long ago i started to hear a little whisper.....a little voice inside my creative soul that pops up from time to time to remind me that when you play, you also need to rest.  i usually do a fairly good job of ignoring the whisper, mainly because i like to play, and well, i'm not so good at the "rest" part.  but i have a rather persistent whisper.......and a rather impatient one, too.....because it's not whispering anymore.....it's more of a roar now, making it a lot harder to ignore.  
so, i'm going to be a good listener and take some time to rest......of course,  you know i won't be that good and i'll sneak in a little play when the whisper-roar isn't looking.......
but in the meantime, i'm counting on you to play while i'm gone.....
play lots of happy-art-play, sweet bloggy friends!!!
(i'll be back soon!)

    That's a good thing to listen to that little inward voice. I'm in that same place as we blog lol. In fact, I cancelled a few things yesterday evening because my little voice spoke to me as well.

    Enjoy your rest.

    Blogland will NOT be as fun without your happy posts and cheery artwork...BUT, I'm glad you're listening to that roaring whisper and taking some playtime for yourself. I'll be right here when the door to Elvie Studio opens up again! xo Paulette
