Even the small purse and my pockets need to be emptied out weekly. We humans can sure collect stuff, and most of it stuff we will never use or even need. Kind of like our hearts.

Thinking about this differently, with your art, I see my figurative purse needs a good cleaning. And, ironically, I have been searching for a new purse--one that is larger (even though I don't like carrying a purse!) I've been looking on etsy using key words like: "tree", "peace sign" and "love"...A purse can say so much about us, I guess. <br /><br />And, by the way, if you didn't see my etsy feedback--I love the cards! My daughter suggested I keep one of each print, and give the others away ; )Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608709109853440492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3071410461129501656.post-61542509478398792382010-09-27T14:24:35.680-05:002010-09-27T14:24:35.680-05:00This is so cute and great at the same time.
