Outside my Window:
Sunshine;
a slight breeze
blowing through the trees;
blowing through the trees;
birds singing their
"Pretty pretty pretty" song;
"Pretty pretty pretty" song;
a beautiful day!
I am Thinking:
Spring is finally here!
I am Thankful:
For wonderful friends that can
Laugh together
Cry together
Share resources!
Eat together...
a lot and not always nutritious...
like Dunkin' Donuts
for breakfast!
like Dunkin' Donuts
for breakfast!
and a Grasshopper Blizzard
from Dairy Queen...
for lunch!
And, I am thankful for friends
And, I am thankful for friends
who sleep together...
as in sharing a hotel room!
as in sharing a hotel room!
Ride together;
Shop together
and
Create together.
In the Kitchen:
A few dirty dishes;
some "left-over snacks
from the retreat this past weekend.
I am Wearing:
A yellow flowered night gown,
navy stretch pants,
crocs;
warmer weather
calls for lighter gowns!
I am Creating:
Spent the weekend making cards;
made a cute "pillow box" for a gift;
created a two-page layout for a swap...
it was actually the second on I made;
could not find the first one!!
(Still looking for it!!)
I am Going:
No place today...
Catching up on things
after the weekend!
I am Wondering:
Where my two-page layout is!
I am reading:
Actually finished reading
"White Oleander"
by Janet Fitch;
haven't really started anything yet -
I am Hoping:
The beautiful weather remains all week;
it is Spring Break for my two (older) grandsons!
I am Looking Forward to:
Hanging out with my daughter(s)
and the grandchildren
this week and weekend.
I am Learning:
New techniques in my scrapbooking
and card making;
I will share some when completed!
I will share some when completed!
Around the House:
All of my scrapbooking stuff;
unloaded from the car
and lining the living and dining room walls...
until I can bring it into my craft room!
I am Pondering:
Feelings;
Relationships;
"Children" and Choices...
LIFE
and
LOVE.
A Favorite Quote for Today:
"Out of loss -
she found hope.
Out of despair -
she found courage.
Out of it all -
she found herself."
(part of a TV advertisement
for a Lifetime Movie;
unfortunately, I didn't note what movie!)
One of My Favorite Things:
Spending time with friends...
Friends are not things;
but special people to cherish!
Friends are not things;

Love your quote. Did you enjoy White Oleander? I read it years ago. I think I liked it but I can't remember LOL!!
ReplyDeleteIt took some time for me to get into it...the language; the way the young girl was brought up and her lust after older "father figure" men...but I get the story line and don't usually give up on a book - unless it's a very trashy one!!
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting!
What a bright and optimistic post! Hoping you have found your two pager :).
ReplyDeleteThank you Alexa! I feel "bright and optimistic" after being away from home for a few days; kind of puts the rest of my "worries" behind for a while and come home refreshed (or at least ready for whatever - until the next get-away time, which is possibly one overnight in April and another retreat 1st weekend of May!)...
DeleteAnd, so far - lost layout is still lost! But I will come across it eventually...that will teach me to plan something in advance!! I usually make that particular layout (it's for a page swap) the Friday that begins the retreats!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Spring??? What is that??? Can you send some of it here? Just a tiny corner would be great! I'm glad you have such a great creative hobby you enjoy, I think that is such a blessing! I hope you have a wonderful week with your children and grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteEllie, out weather here is beautiful - until it hits the summertime! I do not love the HOT HOT HOT weather; but when it's pleasant and a bit breezy and...well, I love that time of year except for the pollen and allergens. Wish I could send you today; it's gorgeous!
DeleteLooking forward to a wonderweek with the family! Hope your week is wonderful as well, whatever you may be doing.
