In the past, I told people's fortunes with playing cards but I do not do it anymore because I do not think it is wise to always know what your future holds. Part of the mystery of life is for us to make our own destiny and decide for ourselves what road we will take. We should not allow anything to alter our journey by knowing something that might greatly confuse our instinct of which path to choose. God gave us the life we have and it is up to us to choose wisely so that nothing but good will influence our decisions concerning our future.
With that in mind, our Theme for this Challenge is Gypsy Fortunetelling but in a good way! I want you to create your own good luck fortune card this week! I know I could use some good luck right now because the reason I have not been able to post challenges weekly is because my laptop has been giving me lots of trouble and I fear it is on the brink of certain doom and complete shut down! It was a real struggle just to get this post written and published! We all know that these past two years have not been my most favorable as far as luck goes so I am willing to try anything to bring the good back in my life! And just for fun...creating a lucky fortune card might be just what I need! Also, a prayer or two wouldn't hurt!
I am going to give you some symbols to use when you design your fortune card that will give you extra luck! The sun, moon, and stars always means good luck or good fortune. The use of a bear or dog means good protection. A tower means you are being watched over and protected. A clover leaf always means good luck!
A key means something promising will happen soon. A garden or bouquet of flowers means you are surrounded by good friends and happy times.
I cannot wait to see why you will come up with for your own good luck!
Here is my Good Luck card!
I hope it helps drive away the negative mishaps in my life and bring me good luck!
Next week we have a special treat! Mia, a new artist to our challenges, has designed a set of Quirky Animals Characters dressed in Victorian clothes for us to use in our artwork! I know you will love what she has designed for us for the next Challenge!
Please bear with me as I know I will have to buy another laptop soon and transfer my files so if I do not post for a week or two, please know I will be back as soon as possible!
Sending many hugs to all and thank you for your patience in this matter!
Kym my friend I feel your pain my laptop is hanging on the edge too. It's a Windows 10 and I don't want to upgrade because the new ones can't download Photoshop Elements.
