Paper Playtime - #17 Pearls

Pearls, I love them! 

I wear mine mostly to church and wasn't going to write about that but I looked up 

the meaning of the pearl and it said:

With it's humble beginnings, Pearls symbolize innocence and a pure heart, and help us get in touch with the simple honest things of life. Pearls symbolize the best within us.  Honesty, Purity , Wisdom and Integrity.  They remind us to walk with Dignity. Pearls can stimulate your femininity and help with self acceptance. They lift your spirits and make you feel calm and beautiful.  

it also said:

"Vibrates to the number 7" ( and the #7 has significant meaning in the bible....hmmmm )

also they were inherited from my mother ( and she is a Gemini ) and it said this:

Astrological Sign:  Cancer and Gemini

Now I am a Pisces and it says:

Elements: Water

wow, no wonder I love them so much!

And if you want to read the emotional reason as to why I love my mother's pearls so much then you can check what I wrote: My Mother's Pearls

Also there are pearl idioms:

cast (one's) pearls before swine

 to waste something good on someone who doesn't care about it. (From a biblical quotation.) 

or

a pearl of wisdom

an important piece of advice

I'm on a Halloween kick I admit, ya'll must be use to my early "occasion" cards by now. In the beginning of September I will be putting out the Halloween cards and tags so I need to be ready! I had this great black moon die cut in my stash that I have no idea where it came from but I thought it would make a fab Halloween card especially with the spider dangling off his head.

I used a large pearl for his eye and then liquid pearls to decorate him with....and I see from the close up that I had one liquid pearl drop that didn't cooperate, but oh well, that's what makes it a handmade card, lol
