"Come to the edge.' 'We can't. We're afraid.' 'Come to the edge.' 'We can't.
We will fall!' 'Come to the edge.' And they came. And he pushed them. And
they flew." ― Guillaume Apollinaire
Our guest Ronda Palazzari sent me the quote above after we recorded the podcast. I'm sure that after listening to her thoughts you will agree with me that she is an amazing woman. Here's a little bit about her:
Ronda is an Author, Mixed Media Artist, Scrapbook Designer, and an Instructor living in the burbs of Denver. Her first book of Art of Layers with North Light Publishing/F&W Media was released in March 2012. She designs with Maya Road, Sizzix, Antiquated Collection, and Purple Onion Stamps. She has published in several magazines and idea books including Artful Blogging, Creating Keepsakes, Memory Makers, Scrapbook Trends, and Somerset Magazines. She's best known for combining her mixed-media techniques with scrapbooking, but Ronda is one to follow because you never know if she will be sewing or getting messy with paints…
…her craft changes day-to-day. She continues to teach worldwide as well as providing inspiration and telling her dorky stories on her blog HelpMeRonda.
If you have comments or questions, I know that we'd love to hear them!

Congratulations to you and your mum.
That was very empowering and
a great reminder to women to remember ourselves.
Rhonda was really interesting to listen to. I am going to see where in Asutralia you can get her book.

Enjoyed the whole podcast! Looking forward to more!
So thankful I found your blog. Because of you, I have started art journaling and playing with water colors, stencils, spray inks, etc. Amazingly, those products and techniques I learned from you are now on my scrapbook pages.

What an amazing start to your podcasts! You and your mom are so charming, thoughtful, and inspiring! I can’t wait for the next one!
Ronda made a terrific first guest, and listening to her insights made a wonderful start to my day!

Oh I am beginning to love these podcasts. Of course I don’t have time to stop and listen so I’ve begun listening while doing something I don’t enjoy but must be done (exercises) LOVE IT! Thanks.

A wonderful first episode! Great insights about art, life, success, failure. I really loved your mom’s input with the 4 types of “failure”. Yoda, she is, indeed! 🙂 Looking forward to more, and, like Lori W., I listen while doing something “non-preferred”, so it is like I am able to keep arting even when I’m doing other “have to’s”. Though, I can’t say exercising was one of those. But my bathroom cabinets have finally been purged! Lol!

That was a wonderful podcast, and Ronda was a perfect first guest. Your discussion about failure really resonated with me. Particularly how we can hear tons of positive things, but get fixated on one negative. Very very true. So glad you’re doing these podcasts. I look forward to more. (And I loved when your mom chimed in. She is very wise indeed.)

Took me a while but I finally finished listening to the podcast (school holidays aren’t the best for finding time to sit and listen to something, so I stretched the time out). First, thanks Julie for doing this and second thanks to Ronda for insight and inspiration! Julie, I love your Mum! I hope that there is a day in my future where I meet you both 🙂

Julie, love the podcast. I wasn’t so sure when you made the announcement – I’m a visual girl. But it’s great. And listening to your Mom, I know I would be better for having someone with so much wisdom when I was growing up.

I just listened to you last night on the Paperclipping Round Table podcast. I’m so glad you were a guest or I would have missed your fabulous podcast. I just subscribed can’t wait for the next episode. You make me want to step outside my comfort zone and try new things which will only make my comfort zone larger right? Thank you so very much for the inspiration!!! Keep it coming, and I’ll spread the word;)

Hi Julie — just to thank you, your mother and Ronda for allowing us to “listen in ” on your conversation. It felt like having lunch with good friends and certainly gave me, at 70, pause for thought. Why it makes good sense to open up a place for making art in one’s life. I’ve put it off too long! Thank you — I’m out here listening.
