I aM nOt SUrE WhAt WiLl FRIgHteN YoU MOrE. . .

The art that I'm posting 
which is certainly SPOOKY! 
or the fact that I am posting at all! 
 I would love to say that my absence is all from lack of time, 
and while time certainly has been a factor,
 truthfully, its more FEAR; 
the fear of rejection. . . 
the fear that no one cares if I post,. . . 
and the fear that no one cares if I'm even here. 
It scares me. 
 I'm sure on the surface we all look like we have it all together,
 but I don't. 
 You see, lately, 
I've had more in my life 
and on my plate 
that I feel I can cope with and adding it to for any reason 
would be more than I am able to bear. 
 Sad, but true. . . 
I wish I didn't allow fear in my heart 
except for maybe an occasional spook house on Halloween.
Now, I've opened up. . . FEAR an All.
Hope I didn't Scare you all right away.
 Scared or not, here is my post. 
 This was my Trick or Treat class Friday night.

Rachele, I love your blog and I enjoy getting your creative ideas in my inbox on occasion. I'm sorry things are hitting a rough patch for you in life, we all go through our ups and downs, I'm glad you are back to posting, even if it's sporadic. These Halloween items are just to die for and I only wish I could attend a class of yours to create a creation like this...SIMPLY AMAZING! Good luck to you and my prayers are with you as you go through this time!!

GORGEOUS artwork! Love it. I was feeling extra fearful a couple of years ago when Dan-the-Man lost his job. I went to a regional Relief Society meeting and the speaker's topic was....yep, you guessed it: Fear! She spent the whole talk explaining that fear is Satan's tool to destroy faith. She said that faith and fear cannot be in the same place at once. She quoted many general conference talks on the subject. It was just what I needed. So, get rid of the fear and get into the faith, girl! It feels much better!
