Heart Monday ... Hope Monday ...


It is the beginning of a new week ~ I am wishing that Heart Monday will symbolize "Hope"...

Hope for my family and friends that are struggling ~ Hope that my Dad continues to recover from his recent surgery ~ Hope that a New Year brings new opportunities for all the people that I love ... Hope for a happiness ...

This photo above is of a "Heart" Card that is visible in my office ... I purchased it along with a few other "heart gifts"I had sent to a dear friend for her birthday. I loved the simple stitching, with white polka dots ...

When was the last time you bought yourself something you liked?

    Kristine,I hope your Dad gets well soon! You are so kind,thinking of others, and I know your friend is thankful beyond words for those "heart" gifts for her birthday, lol! They are cherished! I love the card in this photo, it's gorgeous!
    The last time I bought something I liked was when I was in the US. I had the opportunity to purchase not only the things that don't sell here, but also things that I simply wanted to have; I guess a spoiled my self a bit, and it's a good feeling. :)

      Sonja - Yes, "My Friend" has thanked me many times for the "Heart" gifts - LOL - So glad you spoiled yourself - You really "needed" all those wonderful supplies to make us all those beautiful creations - But things you "wanted" were a real treat - I should be receiving my Sizzix today - I will let you know ...

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Letters Across The Miles

LETTERS ACROSS THE MILES  Dear Jennifer, I am quite excited to be sharing this journey of "Old Fashioned Letter Writing" (online) with you ... It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles". I think this is the "Push" that we both needed to jump right in! Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
