Originally, the idea was this. Two sisters spending one year creating art, or at least creating, every day using only supplies that they already have, get for free, find, or receive...looking to rediscover the artistic selves they've lost somewhere along the way in all the clutter of life... But it didn't fit into life, and so now who knows what you might find?!!

International Women's Day

There are twice as many illiterate women over the age of 15 than men.
Women earn 10 percent of the world's income, but work two thirds of the working hours.
70 percent of those living in poverty are women.
45 million girls are denied an education.
Women in the US earn 76.5% of men's gross hourly pay for the same job.

Empowerment begins with teaching our girls that they have worth, that they are unique and special and can do and be whatever they want. Empowerment begins with believing in yourself so that you can pass that on.

    Love this! Every girl should make one of these and keep it close for by for daily affirmation! Thank you for this beautiful idea. I'm going to make one for myself and encourage my girl to, also. Brilliant!
