word of the day . . .

eating a rainbow . . .

This is my mom's favorite meal.  

She tells me - she could eat it every night.

I tell her it's "magic".

Then she just laughs and shakes her head at me.  

HAPPY MONDAY!

today . . .

2019 came to and end . . . 2020 arrived with everything life is going to throw at me.

I have decided to handle it the best way I know how . . . still trying to figure what that is on some days - but I always seem to figure it out.

I believe I posted a picture a Steve when we first brought him home.  I thought I would share a Christmas picture of him . . . which pretty much describes his personality. 

Just trying to get back to this blog . . . I miss what it does for me.

"Dearly beloved,

we are gathered her today

to get through this thing

called life."

Special Treat!

I was a little surprised at how fast Jelly the guinea pig went after the Elf.

No worries . . . the Elf came came through the ordeal unscathed.

halloween surprise . . .

What a fun surprise I received in the mail a few days ago!

Lorraine from Paper Vernissage is always so thoughtful!

Thank you Lorraine!

 I hate putting Lorraine's cards away . . . they usually find a place where I display them for awhile.

This cute little skull!!!!

I need to make some of these.

charlotte & chalk . . .

 This is the skeleton that Charlotte came up with.

I love how it turned out.  

She seems to be into making things look creepy these days . . . 

. . . I wonder where she gets that from?

making me smile today . . .

This is when I start having fun making a doll . . . 

I am not sure what I am going to do with these yet - but that is also part of the fun.

 Avery came to visit me at work yesterday. . . 

. . . evidently she likes to doodle also!

 . . . and a new coffee mug.  

Happy Friday!

Happy Tuesday!

Just a reminder . . . 

Find JOY in the everyday stuff!

Happy October . . .

I cannot help myself when it comes to decorating for Halloween.

I thought I would share some of the decorations I have out this year.

I am not sure where this obsession with Halloween came from . . . but it just keeps growing.

HAPPY OCTOBER!
