Inspiration Avenue: Wishes

First, I want to apologize for the lack of images this week. I realize you couldn't see them and neither could I. The server where I keep my images was down for several days. Then my internet connection went down, so I was unable to visit anyone or create any posts. All in all, it's been a rather frustrating few days.

This week's Inspiration Avenue challenge was issued by Jenn.



Here is my "Wishes" entry. The sentiment reads: "We often confuse what we wish for with what is." ~Neil Gaiman

This is an ATC I created using magazine images and scraps of scrapbook paper. I colored the edges of the ATC with a gold leafing pen.

  7. Lovely quote and ATC!
    As for your photo issues...I was briefly convinced it was Google Chrome that was the problem then I ran Firefox...same issue. I know you hate the Google machine but apparently I've become part of the collective. :)
