So stinkin' cute...

...I got more than a few good chuckles at the antics over at Dog Blog TV. Thhose little Yorkies are always up to something, I tell ya! And the cartoonish voice-over is freakin' hilarious!! You gotta go take a look-see. Go on. You deserve a laugh today!

Eleven...

...today, Madi is 11. No longer a child & not yet a teen. Caught in those ever awkward days of being a pre-teen. Trying to find out who you are. Trying to be older, yet still wanting to be little just a while longer.

I pray that she will continue to be the sweet, loving little girl that enjoys a good snuggle as often as she can get it. Who still talks to Mom about everything. Who only changes by growing stronger and more confident in herself rather than becoming independent too quickly.

It's hard seeing your baby get older. But I look forward to seeing her mature and grow into a fine young lady. I want her to know that she will always be as precious to me as she is now. And that I am proud of her.

Confessions of a Scrapbook Widower...

...Hilarious! My husband can relate to this!
This guy is so funny!

An adventure...

...the Artist's Way. Some of us gals from Two Peas have joined together & are working through Artist's Way by Julia Cameron.
One of the girls set up a Support Blog to discuss our journey. Kewl Beans.

This is Week One.

I had a bit of a lte start, but I am catching up. Still need to do my artist's date this week. Not easy living in Podunk in winter. I'll probably just lock myself in my room & watch an old movie on TV. Still sound like fun, though.

Very powerful stuff.

I am having a HARD time waking up half an hour early to do the morning pages. I am totally NOT a morning person. In NO WAY, Shape or form. But I am doing it anyway. My brain is mush at that hour, but , at least I am doing it. That is waht is important. Perhaps soon it will start to have an effect.

Sometimes....

...you have one of those days when you are just irritable. You try not to be. But it's there under the surface. And then the littlest things set you on nerve.
...and you just feel crabby about everything. Until your teenage daughter tells you outloud that she loves you. In front of her friends at school. Actually, she yells it. And then all the little things that got under my skin today just seem so insignificant.

Everything that matters is summed up in those 3 little words.

Oh, and Taylor, I love you, too!

Such Fun colors & Designs

Found print & pattern quite by accident while blog surfing today. Whimsical, colorful & just plain fun! Gotta love it!
