Spring Is In The Air Balloon #1

My latest creation is this beautiful "Hot Air Balloon" made from a large goose egg. Total time from start to finish was 96 waking hours and at least that much of dreaming about the results. The basket was cut from the eggs pointy egg, and I added flowers in the basket to go with the sping theme. The egg is hand painted and rhinestones added for bling.

The beautiful hand dyed lace is from Nicki Lee of Raviolee Dreams on Etsy.

I Promise Myself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is something worth while in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to critisize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in great words, but in great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
