Living In the Moment

I thought I would share the coffee mug and keychain that my Hubby brought home for me from his business trip. It got me thinking of "Being Lucky" ... I had purely guessed on a Superbowl Football Sheet one year - (Keep in mind, I do not know much about Football) and I won the pool ... Simply by guessing ... Needless to say, the men that study football each year were blown away by this ... Was there a time in your life that you were extremely lucky? If so, where and what was the outcome?

This is a photo I took of my new "Reading Glasses" - With an enamelized effect that I just love - I am seeing things clearer lately, so I thought this was a nice tie-in. I am realizing I thrive better when I am creating - I need to create to move forward in other aspects of my life - Creativity needs to be a part of me, not just from time to time - But everyday. Have you had an "Ah-Ha Moment" lately and just knew you needed to follow through with a certain thought?

I decided to post this photo of a friends horse to touch upon the idea of being free ... Some days I feel that I do not want to be tamed, I want to run free - Find people to run with ... Do ever feel you need more creative people in your life?

I thought we could play "5 Things I am Grateful For" today ... I will start: 1) My Family 2) My Friends 3) Good Health 4) Being able to hear the birds sing 5) Living one in Nature Now, It's your turn ...

Yesterday, My post was about what trinkets you like to bring home from a get-away - Today I took a photo of a bracelet I like to wear to jeans - Is there a piece of jewelry that you find yourself going back to - again and again - to wear with jeans? with a certain skirt? Or is it earrings or a ring? I would love to hear what you find yourself going for to feel your best ...

I thought I would ask if anyone of you like taking "trinkets" home from places visited - I usually like to bring home small items (keychains, magnets, bookmarks, postcards etc ...) to remember a nice get-away ... Sometimes I will find a doll or a statue to remind me of that special time ... What do you like to remember a vacation?

I have been looking through my craft inventory and I came across these floral tags - I just love the colors - I remember a time when you would never put florals with anything other than solids - I happen to love stripes with florals - Just adds a whole new dimension to a look you are trying to create ... What colors have you put together for a painting, mixed media project, scrapbook - That you would never have put together and magically transformed into something wonderful?
