Postcard Swap

I am hooked on soooo many blogs.
One of my favorites is Kandeland.typepad.com/
It's always fun to see what Natalea is up to!
I have been wanting to get involved with art swaps that some blogs offer.
I always seem to find out about them AFTER the sign up deadline.
Typical for me.
THIS TIME THOUGH, I ACTUALLY DID IT ON TIME!
ACTUALLY, JUST IN TIME!
It is a very simple swap. You send 13 of Kandeland's blog friends
an artful postcard aka 'fun mail' with your favorite inspirational quote.
OR, one of them.....it's hard to choose.
I have a good collection of black and white fun postcards.
I chose to send each woman a different card.
My choice for the inspirational sayings were:
CREATIVE MESS IS BETTER THAN IDLE NEATNESS
and
Circumstances & situations do color life, but you have been given the mind to choose what the color will be. -John Homer Miller
I was excited to mail my postcards and I'm CRAZY excited to receive them.
When they all arrive, I will share the cards.
Everyone could use a little inspiration!

TUESDAY'S

I LOVE TUESDAY'S!
Tuesday is my studio day.
I started some pin cushions a few weeks ago and can't wait
to get in the studio on Tuesday to finish some!
*
I can NEVER get enough Frozen Charlottes!
Take a look at some of the pretty Frozen Charlotte pin cushions in the works.
They'll be listed on my EBAY site when finished.
*
I also have some Frozen Charlotte and Mini Fairie Vignettes
in the works.
I finally finished dying some mini bottle brush trees, so
they can be added to the vignettes.
I can't wait to see how they come together.

Keep your eyes posted here to see how things progress.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is the day to celebrate Love with your family and friends.
MC and Tess are the LOVES in my life.
They mean the world to me.
*
MC is my true Love.
It was Love at first sight.
*
Tess is my forever Love.
She'll always be my baby.
*
My Mom, my Gram, my Brother's and their families
taught me tough Love.
Our Family Love can only grow stronger.
*
My dogs taught me Unconditional Love.
They will Love you no matter what.
*
Missing my Dad, Pops, Nana and Ma
taught me about everlasting Love.
*
My friend's taught me that
LOVE takes time.
Grow with each other and learn the true meaning.
*
Cherish every LOVING moment
you have with your family and friends.
Saying I LOVE YOU is very valuable.
So, say it with meaning as if it were the LAST TIME.
*
I LOVE YOU MC and TESS with all of my Heart, Soul and Being!
*
Happy Valentine's Day !

My BABY Is 14!

I can't believe that my Baby is 14!
Where did the time go?
*
It feels like just yesterday she believed in the Tooth Fairy.
It feels like yesterday that she loved spaghetti-o's.
It feels like yesterday that I would carry her off to bed.
*
Today, we picked out a birthday outfit for school.
Today she wore a sequined birthday tiara.
Today she shared chocolate chip cookies with friends.
*
Today, our smart, funny, talented, beautiful and messy daughter is
14.
We are so blessed.
Thanks for being you, Tess.

Enuff Freakin Snow

I know that most of you are probably feeling about the same way. ENUFF FREAKIN SNOW! MC had seen enough snow to last him until next year. He's had a love affair with his snow blower for the last few weeks, and I think he's ready to dump her! He's been shoveling, scraping, chopping and snow blowing every night after work. Poor guy, "He look like he tired!" On the other hand, I've been cleaning, scraping and digging out cars at the dealership. There's over 350 vehicles to clean and move every storm. Some of the smaller sedans, Yaris, Prius and Scions, you can hardly see under the piles of snow. I don't remember storms that dropped this much snow since 1978. I was Tess' age and can remember snow drifts 5 feet tall and losing power for days. Thank God we haven't lost any power b/c we live with electric 'everything'. Heat, water, septic, you get the idea. So, if Mr Groundhog is correct, SPRING should be here soon. But hey, who's counting on that fur ball anyway?
