Simple Woman's Daybook - April 13, 2015

Linking up with
The Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today:

April 13, 2015

Outside my Window:

A pleasant day;

not too warm - yet!

A little sunny;

but cloudy - rain?

The tree outside my window

that once held full branches

of little white flowers...

now only holds branches

of green leaves.

I am Thinking:

There is so much I should be doing:

organizing my craft stuff;

house-cleaning - yuck!

checking the laundry;

clearing off my computer desk...

I could go on and on an on,

but the cat needs attention!

I am Thankful:

Today's weather is not as hot

as it was a few days ago...

when I was miserable!

I am Wearing:

A pair of navy shorts,

a light blue flowered shirt,

and a pair of crocs

I am Creating:

Ideas in my head!

Projects to do:

Decorate picture frames;

Create scrapbook layouts;

Cover old magnets;

Make a mosaic turtle...

Ideas, yes!

Completed, no!

I am Going:

To have a light week -

I think!

I am Wondering:

If my laundry has finished washing?!

I am Reading:

"The Witness"

by Nora Roberts

A thriller about a young girl

who witnesses a killing...

Years later -

well, that is where I am at the moment!

I am Hoping:

To get some important things done today;

things like balancing the checkbook

and washing the clothes!

I am Looking Forward to:

Another great weekend of scrapbooking:

Friday Card Swap

and

Saturday Theme Crop -

"Under the Sea".

I am Learning:

I have way too many thoughts in my head

for just one journal or notebook;

I have one for everything you might think of!

Journaling;

Gratitude and Blessings;

Prayers;

Quotes;

Artistic "doodles"...

Calgon...

take me awaaay!!

In My Kitchen:

Leftovers!

That's what's for dinner!

Around the House:

If you really need to ask...

Scrapbooking stuff

scattered around the living room,

waiting to be put into the craft room -

Somewhere!

I am Pondering:

What God has in His plans

for the rest of this year?!

A Favorite Quote for Today:

"The beauty of a woman

is not in the clothes she wears,

the figure she carries,

or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman is seen

in her eyes,

because that is

the doorway

to her heart."

(Audrey Hepburn)

This quote was used in a post written

February 28th,

the last day of Fab-ruary -

finding the fab in your life!

{Read it here.}

I also found this one;

too bad the author is "unknown"...

"I'm not beautiful like you.

I'm beautiful like me."

Thanks,

for hosting that month of FAB!!

One of my Fave Things:

A Beautiful Peacock

{no, I did not take this photo;

but here is one I "made":

A paper-piecing project I did

several years ago

before I had a machine to do it for me!!

A Few Plans

From the Board Room

and a

Post Script:

"...yeah, so come the Monday after Resurrection Sunday and now we get to *be* the Resurrection People:

we get to believe that hope rises from dead places,

that impossible stones can be rolled away,

that all the sad things are becoming undone.

We get to be part of the resurrection of all things,

of His Kingdom coming -

because..." 

{These quotes were found on Ann Voskamp's Facebook page here.}
