Susan, it's your fault that I got lost in the Sylvia Beach Hotel . I wandered into each and every room and had a hard time picking just one. I finally narrowed it down to Agatha Christie's, JK Rowling's, Amy Tan's and Chez Collete's. After having a go with Agatha Christie's and not making it work (Hercule Poirot was being sassy), I chose Amy Tan's - it brought me Joy and Luck! The painting above the headboard inspired this card, along with the gorgeous colors of the pieced quilt.
As for the quote, it continues inside the card: "You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future. Now is your time. " It is by Matthew Kelly, another favorite author, from his book The Rhythm of Life: Living Everyday with Passion & Purpose.
Thank you for that unique and awesome challenge, Susan! The next time we visit Oregon, I hope we get to stay there (we're JK Rowling, Agatha Christie and Amy Tan fans). Thank you, Sabrina, for doing the "behind the scenes" so that we Teapotters can tickle each other!

This is so calming and beautiful in its simplicity, and you chose the perfect background paper and accent colors to go with it. I love your Asian image, and pearls are the perfect finishing to an elegant card. I’ve not read Amy Tan but your card is drawing me to her writings!
