250th Anniversary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson

250th Anniversary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson

This is a project I partcipated in 2003 with an online Yahoo group. There were seven of us who submitted 7x9 altered/mixed media pages that included quotes from Thomas Jefferson.

Happy Birthday Thomas Jefferson!!!!



I bound the pages with three rings and attached them within an vintage photo cover.

"I can not live without books."
~ Thomas Jefferson ~
(The small book contains several quotes from T.J. fits into the bottom left pocket)

"Let our settlements and theirs meet and blend together, to intermix and become one people"
~ Thomas Jefferson ~

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"

~ Thomas Jefferson ~

"The Earth Belongs to the living, not the dead."
~ Thomas Jefferson ~

"When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."
~ Thomas Jefferson ~

This one is mine . . .

"Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation and freedom in all just pursuits".

~ Thomas Jefferson ~

The last page . . .

"When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry count a hundred"

~Thomas Jefferson ~

(2012)

I am looking forward to the possibilities 2012 will bring.  Big and exciting changes are coming about!   I've just completed my MBA with a concentration in Accounting.  My mother ("The G" we lovingly call her - [that should be another blog post]) will begin serving mission in the London, England Temple in March, Youngest child will be graduating high school, and has already received letters of acceptance to two colleges.  Woaaaah!  I'm excited!!
