oh goodie goodies!

After feeling a bit stressed about various January issues, the main topic being remodeling a guest bathroom and never enough time in a day, I received my prize from Suzanne at Sperlygirl which sent me into giddy gratitude for her generous offerings. The birdie painting is so alive with texture and color, I can almost hear her singing to me! And of course the Italian treats are the lagniappe to top it all off! It's good to be me!

pensive

Since I am busier than a bee hive I decided to post some calming photos of mine for the Misty Journal project about "feelings" No time today to journal so I decided to gaze upon some past memories of a slower, simpler time in my life, not so long ago...not too far away, where I lived on a tiny magical Caribbean Island, Isla Mujeres, Mexico.....a place where un-beknown to me would alter me forever. For the better. pen-sive 1. dreamily or wistfully thoughtful. 2. expressed or revealing thoughtfulness, usually marked by some sadness

Crayola moment

I put on the brakes today, my 51st birthday, to get out the crayolas and play with Misty's Journal Challenge. I grabbed my "Wreck This Journal", poured a glass of wine and begin to scribble.
