Encouraging Words Carving Consortium Swap Melissa McCarthy, Hostrix October 1998 Page One of Three |
| The
swap started when a member of the Carving Consortium Listserv (CC-L) had a health
challenge, and was heartened by all the encouragement (cards, lettters, etc.) received
from this online community. That member had the idea that an Encouraging Words swap would
bring hope to others, but didn't want to handle the details. Therefore, the member posted
the swap idea on the Carving Consortium, and Melissa McCarthy decided to take on the
project as her first swap-coordinating effort. As you can see, Melissa did a great job as hostrix. We are grateful for her contribution. |
The
words were all printed on 3" x 5" sized stock. The idea was that this
is an easy size (in the USA) to get a small inexpensive frame, even perhaps a magnetic one
for the front of a refrigerator. The messages could be changed at any time according to
the needs of the viewer. Thanks are in order to Melissa McCarthy and the artist participants who made this project come to life. And as always, thanks to Linda Berman for creating and nurturing the Carving Consortium, which brought us all together. |

Eddy Rountree "...The phrase "uncover, discover, discard" is a maxim that is highly regarded in Adult Children of Alcoholics, A.A., and Al-Anon...the phrase...is a truth by which I try to live my life: uncover the garbage...from my past and my present, discover the truth and that which is good about myself, then discard those beliefs or ideas which no longer serve me or which were untruths to begin with..." (Various inks and embossing on flecked linen blush cardstock.) |
