Bloggerette Sorority
What you haven't heard of this before? Now I've had the button in my sidebar for a week and many of our blogging sisters have already joined in the fun. Where have you been? You can learn more about it here and here.
Our Rush project was to take the provided photo and create something with it. The concept was very easy, it could be anything and with all the talent out there I was skeptical about joining. Then I decided to heck with it, I would do what I do and that is to work with the photo and create a digital collage. On Rush Day your were to post a photo of your project.
The instructions went on to say…
There are no rules.
Well — except one.
You must be in the picture too.
So here is my completed project…
You can see I didn't take a photo of my project, but I did put myself right into it.
Yes, those are butterfly wings on my back, I wear them as I flit from blog to blog to see what all ya'll are up to on any given day. There had to be a teddy bear! What says comfort better than a teddy bear and you've sent me so much encouragement and so many hugs during this transitional phase of my life. The vintage globe is there representing our world of bloggers. I'm so grateful for the friendships I've formed in so many other countries and right here in the United States!
I then filled up the space with hearts and flowers, because just who doesn't love them? I gave the whole thing a vintage look, because you know how much I love anything vintage!
I'm excited to see all the creativity that my new sorority sisters will be sharing today. If you haven't joined, it's never too late. Sign up today and watch for what our next project will be! Links for all my sorority sisters are in the sidebar of Some Diamonds Are Forever.
For all my new sorority sisters, I'm Rhonda and I live in Coastal Georgia here in the United States, but if I go downtown and look across the river, I can see Florida!

Gee, my technical skills are way at the bottom. I can't imagine participating in anything as creative as this!
This is wonderful Rhonda! I love the symbolism you used. Great way to celebrate the wonderful world of blogging! Hugs, Kat
Like Becky, my technical skills are minimal...guess I'm out. But I sure will enjoy seeing the results of your challenges.
Hugs,

I am glad you explained because I assumed you were the teddy bear. What a creative take on the theme.

I do like the wings for flitting from blog to blog, too. I would need wings today. I just posted photos for my third party this week! It's going to take me a while to visit everyone, but I'll enjoy every minute of it.
Thanks so much for stopping by my site. It's good to have more sisters!
I'll visit again soon...

P.S. I forgot to say: my condolences on the loss of your beloved dog, Sheldon. I saw his picture on your previous post. He looked like a lovely, beautiful dog. My sympathies...
Wow! What a great job Rhonda! You stepped up the challenge quite well. Love the vintage look and the symbolism behind it.

This is great! Nice job of sneaking yourself into the collage :) Nice to meet you sister!
Hey from SE Georgia...about an hour give or take from the coast. Your creation is FABYOULOUS !
Oh my as I was scrolling down I saw the photo of your sweet Sheldon. He could be brother to our sweet Loki who also went to the Rainbow Bridge not long ago.Remember...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
