I was looking for pictures of sisters awhile back, & Dawn sent me this!
As soon as I saw the 4 school girls, a story began to develop in my head.
I imagined a kinship between them. 
It reminded me of the bond I feel with you.
We share our feelings, our joy & pain.
Our dreams & creations.
Each time I post, I know I will get support & truthful feedback from my friends.
It's like we have our own little sorority.
So I took that feeling , & turned it into a mystic tale of sisterhood.
They are bound by a secret & a devotion to each other. 
The secret sisterhood.
Rummaging through my storage unit, I came across my first tattered collage.
A little beat up, but I remember it like I created it yesterday.
Self portrait, age 5. Lovin' that burlap even then,
& still workin' that hair-do.
There's some comfort in familiarity.

Hi Lisa,
I love the self portrait. It is so darling. The sisterhood collage is so awesome! What a great reason behind it as well. It truly is a wonderful feeling knowing that there are so many caring people out here who want us to succeed at whatever it is we do or try. I just love that about the friendships I've made here. This piece is a tresure!
hugs
Oh Lisa, how wonderful...Love every bit of it! I had to laugh when I brought up your blog. I just posted a picture of 5 old friends! Check it out...not as cute as the 'sisters', but funny!
Your self portrait is priceless.
Have a wonderful week.
Blessings,
Susie

Lisa, your collage is awesome! There are so many wonderful details to look at. Those letter beads are just perfect for the title and I love the quilting you did around the girls. Isn't it amazing that we both made a collage with 4 girls?
How did the surgery go? Are you feeling o.k. or do you have some pain? If so, I wish you speedy recovery!

Hi Lisa!
I'm so happy to be part of the "Sisterhood." Afterall my name is Sissie and I love all my bloggy friends, especially you. Who could not love someone who writes you poetry and says nothing but nice things about you. I'm so lucky to have you in my life.
(Big squooshie hug here)
You were even a great budding artist at the age of 5 and I can't imagine what you will be like when you are old like me!
