Quoted Photography **Art Slam**

Next week, Slammers, you are all in for a treat. Suzi Blu will be our first guest contributor to the Art Slam. If you are not familiar with her work, she produces videos as part of her art vlog and shares art journaling inspiration. Suzi has a wonderful outlook on creating and being free with your journals. I think you guys are going to be in for a real treat.

Good Quotes

I love it when I find profound quotes or sayings. Here are two I am loving right now:

 When caught sleeping at work…slowly raise your head and say, "…in Jesus name, Amen."

"One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his
greatest surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he
couldn’t." – Henry Ford
