I would like to put my order in for more time....
who ever it is that handles the time department, I would like to order 4 more hours a day....thank you very much! (4 should be enough, I don't want to be too greedy...)

O how I wish it was as easy as that! I have so many lovely projects dancing round my head right now that I can hardly sleep! So some extra hours would be just wonderFull.
*sigh*
A few short years ago I realized that I needed to create something each day. It felt so good to create...and so I began my journey into mixed media art. When I get a new idea or have been inspired by another artist to try a project, I feel so ALIVE....
Creating things adds such vibrancy to my life.
Does it feel that way to any of you?

*breathe*
Sometimes I am so in a hurry to get get things done before I must lay my head down on my pillow, I need to remind myself to breathe. Slow down, and be with the process of creation. That feels good too!
*Embrace*
I once heard it said that "You can't get it wrong and you can never get it done" and while this statement may seems sad, it also is very liberating. Life itself is perpetual, creativity is ongoing...
So it is o.k. if I don't get everything I want done right NOW...it is o.k.
*smile*
It is o.k. because for me it is about the moment...the JOY of creation in the moment! So when I get concerned about "getting it all done" I breathe and remind myself why I am doing this...and that is because it feels good! And when I get back round to this thought...maybe I don't really need anymore time...just awareness of my own moments of JOY!

The photos are of a project I am working on for a little book swap as well as another swap at MAMA. The front and back covers of this book are made from dominos.
I have never created a domino book before and I am finding it quite enjoyable.
Thank you so much for listening.
Hugs,
Terri

Teeny-tiny domino books....how cute they are! Love the themes you used and the colors are divine.
Yes, more hours in the day would be splendid. And you're not being greedy, my sweet. Just honest!
You and Marie have found a simpatico, haven't you? I'm sure she'd be happy to know you adore her.
Have a great day my friend. Breathe deeply!

Hi Terri, I agree with you 100 percent. I am always wishing for more time. Where does it go. I love your domino books, they are just beautiful Terri. I can't wait to start on mine, but am finishing other things. I also feel like I have to create each and every day, it is calming to me. Have a wonderful week and thanks for sharing your beautiful little books. Hugs, Terri
I love the aqua one! They are all so cute and look like so much fun to make!

I really like the aqua book.

What a beautiful post Terri. Wonderfully put...it is the process of creating that I love best too. But, if we had more time, we could enjoy even more process! lol

OMG I love these little domino books! They make me want to take a break from my beads and try something new!
Terri, these are wonderful little books ... tiny treasures. How about an extra day a week and we'll add an hour to each day?!!!!!?!!!!!!!
Your domino books are gorgeous. What a wonderful way to use those dominos. More hours in the day would be wonderful. I just need them to be for the things I want to do and not the things I have to do.
SO clever & unique~ Each is special, but I like the bottom one especially!
Draga moja jako mi se sviđa tvoj rad, prekrasno...
Knjižica od domina, ti si puna lijepih ideja, bravo.
Terri, I couldn't agree more. I have so many ideas buzzing round my head and never enough time. I am in the middle of a major craft space tidy at the moment, that means even less time for creating! Still, we have to take real pleasure from the time we do have!
I love your little domino books, I didn't realise at first that is what they are and what tiny treasures they are - truly beautiful miniature creations.

Your post really resounded with me. More time would be absolutely wonderful but as you go on to say the joy is in the creating, in that moment and it's holding on to that in this super fast world. Just adore your domino books they are so pretty and neat :)
Terri, these are just beautiful! 4 more hours? Yeah I'd take that as long as they could be creative hours...
loving your Domino books your so inspiring Terri thanks (posting my Easter basket tomorrow)I had some little extras I wanted to get ;0)
Love Dawn xx
There are just times when a post strikes a chord deep within my soul and this one qualifies. Not only does it include the most gorgeous artwork shining with inspiration and gorgeous detail but the sentiments you express so eloquently reflect how I feel almost every day. Given your need for more time each day, I feel very grateful indeed that you visit my blog and leave comments.
These are all so beyond wonderful! I have these books on my to do list now! Thank you so much for the inspiration! :D
Hi Terry ,
Beautiful Domino Books ! Thank you for visiting my blog;You are so kind to me ! I also had a sort of "long story " , but I hope , hope ,hope you will be pleasantly surprised !
Terri -
Your Domino Books are beautiful. I made one for my Mother-in-law not too long ago, with an Asian theme since she is half Japanese. The inside pages were actually a long miniature watercolor painting I made specifically for the book. And you are right, they are so much fun to make. Yours are just stunning. Thanks for sharing with us.

Marvelous little masterpieces Terri... you are awesome, loving the turquoise Marie! You are wonderfully inspiring.
I also would love to have more hours in a day... I love those beautiful little books... so precious!
Oh Terri I just knew these little lovelies were made with dominoes. Beautiful and so very creative of you. I agree that making something is so very satisfying. It really does calm the hectic pace of life and what we must do. It is a gift to be able to make art. Happy weekend my dear...
Terri,
I love your domino books. They are very clever and so unique! I would like more time, too. There is never enough creating time, for sure!
Hugs,
Suz
Terri these are just stunning!! I am ALWAYS amazed at how lovely everything you make is!

Your dominos have really bowled me over! How wonderful they are. And I know what you mean about needing to be creative! Thanks for visiting my blog, too. Nice to meet you! Hugs from Germany, Valerie
they are so beautiful. would like to know how to make them. the colors are fantastic.
very beautiful would love to know how to make them and how o color the dominoes, they are awesome
Holy Son of a Gun - a domino book??? I don't believe it. At first I thought they were bricks - LOL. Oh my oh my they take my breath away. You are just bursting with creations, Terri! I love it. OK, am using this quote as it was posted on Cindy LaFerle's blog yesterday: "The eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy." Rumi She also created a wonderful work using that quote. Reading your post today and seeing your creations reminded me of that quote. You soul is joy, Terri, always remember that. Hugs, girlfriend.
these are so cute! I especially love the "Tiffany" blue one. Enjoy creating! xxx Loribeth
Terri your domino books are scrumptious. I especially love the aqua one, but the purple is such a beautiful surprise too. I love your post about finding, and realizing the moment.
Hi Terri, thanks so much for stopping by the farm house. You are more than welcome anytime...

Terri, these little domino books are fantastic. And I just read you had never made them before? So hard to believe! They are absolutely delicious and the writing you paired with them was so thoughtful and just right.
I am thinking that some of these must be for the Little Book swap I am hosting . . . ooh la la!
