Same. I didn't notice any mistakes either.

Here are a couple screenshots of quotes I have in my Inspiration folder.

 

Your new M3 is so beautiful, @paula kesselring

 

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening,
but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love.
It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.
Chuck Swindoll

 

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit
Psalm 34:18

 

Bueller? Bueller?

Here's one I like:
"The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief – But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love.”
–Hilary Stanton Zunin

It's better than the one I used to love:

"Grief is the price we pay for love.”
–Queen Elizabeth II

 

“Treasure the ones you love. Tomorrow is not promised.
Cherish the time you have with the people who matter
the most. Enjoy and appreciate them. Make time for them.
Love is action.”
― Akiroq Brost

 

Patsy - I loved Biograffiti She and Wish Bliss.. I used to be on Wish Blish's CT when Danielle was still designing.

 

How often I have repeated this to myself...
“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”
Mary Jean Irion

 

I like this quote, I've seen in many texts I've read, and could be used to any situation, wnhen you loose someone or even if something bad happens in life...

“It doesn't matter what has happened to you, it matters what you do with what has happened to you. Life is like a poker game. You don't get to choose the cards you are dealt, but it's entirely up to you how to play the hand.”

 

really?!! [/QUOTE]
I didn't either, Paula. I love the M3 Kit and love that it's dedicated to Dawn. I can't believe the loss you all feel - those of you who knew her well. I feel such a loss and I only knew her through her work and her kindness whenever I posted products of hers (which was/is often).

I'll be back with a quote in a minute.

 

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break. ~William Shakespeare

Thanks Paula and all for all of this inspiration.

 

Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

This poem has always brought me peace.

Congrats, Zoe!!
