Faux Stitchery...

Lately (or at all, depending on how you look at it) I haven't had a creative bone in my body...
So I revel in the cleverness of others...this coming from one of my TeamMates, Shelley!

Look closely at the the Sunflower piece.
Uh...that means CLICK on the photo to enlarge.

Do you remember those ridiculous pattern tracing wheels we used in Home Ec class?
Well, they make GREAT impressions on paper without all the mess of tracing paper...sand across the top and VIOLA! Faux Stitchery!
Idn't she great?! And I've never taught her a thing (or two)

(ps: you can buy those little tracing wheels made just for scrapbookers...imagine that!

i Dare You....

As of late, I've been wallowing in my own frustrations of a long commute, nerve wracking job, and just every day life.
I needed a big kick in the ass to say, "see? you don't have it so bad".

Well, I found that big kick in the ass and I have a dare for you....it's a big challenge.
Be forewarned...
You will need tissues...
You will need an hour, or two or a day or week...or come back to it every time you need a big kick in the ass OR
a song in your heart OR
to see/feel that life is full of blessings that come in many different sizes and people celebrate them to the fullest.

I DARE you to read this blog to
Enjoy the Smallest Blessings

I found Nemo!

Had a lovely family gathering today, and our niece, along with her family had a beautiful "sea" tank.
Not only did she have a clown fish named Nemo but of course annemies, aneonemies, anomenies, 
anemones. It was very curious to see how the other fish avoided the anemones, becuase it would kill them. Safely, and securely, Nemo would run to the anemones when another fish got to close to him...
Just LIKE THE MOVIE!

It's Time for FRAME shopping!

It IS all about *MY FRAME OF  MIND*, ya know!
