Snow Fun….

January 17, 2011

The past couple of weeks we have been getting 1 to 2 inches of snow every couple of days. It keeps a fresh bright white layer on top that sparkles in the sunshine.

Love the earthy colors of this painting. I also did something new for me….I used molding paste in the border details to give it texture. Wow…it was time consuming to do this but I love the raised look on the border. I will post a full picture of this one soon 🙂

UPDATE on found puppy……
the boys and I went door to door in our neighborhood with fliers of the puppy we found but nobody has ever seen her before. So today we are hanging fliers at local businesses. I have such mixed feelings…….we do not need another dog….two is plenty, however, lil’ precious is so lovable and has the sweetest disposition……. if we do find the owners we will be happy for them, but heartbroken because we will miss her.

I wouldn’t be surprise if someone just dropped her off in the neighborhood because they couldn’t taken care of her anymore. At our previous home we had a Dalmatian (found the owners of that one) another dog (it was nice to us but trying to bite anyone that came to our house), two black kittens, a rooster (yes, a rooster) and a baby possum (that thought out dog was it’s mother and kept trying to nurse). We are like a magnet for lost animals………why us??

a precious lil’ visitor

January 14, 2011

On the way to the store yesterday, Kyle and I found this lil‘ baby in the road near our house. We just had to help her so we stopped and she came right to us. We put her in the car with us and went to three nearby houses. None of the residents had ever seen her before. Kyle and I had an appointment to keep so we decided to take her home and put her in the garage so she would be safe until we returned. When we got home, I went to the studio to make fliers to pass around the neighborhood. She ended up staying the night with us because it was too dark/late to go door to door…and of course, we have all fallen in love with her. Buster and Daisy aren’t as crazy about her as we are. After school today the boys will take the fliers around the neighborhood. I hope some poor child wasn’t in distress crying all night because their puppy was lost. It breaks my heart to think of that…….because it happened to me years ago before Kevin and I had the boys. However, the reunion will be sweet for whomever the owners are.

do you believe in luck?

“Diligence”

……I don’t. I believe that we create our future. First by our thoughts, then by taking action and finally with diligence we make things happen. “Some people have all the luck”….I’m sure you’ve heard that before or may have even thought that about a particular person. On the contrary….”things” don’t just fall into one’s lap. Someone may seem lucky but believe me, they have worked for it and it starts with right thinking.

I hope you are as excited about 2011 as I am. This year is going to be a great one!!! I have big plans for my business (which I started in 2010 but will flourish this year). I have also made up my mind to make some personal changes as well…….things that will help me be a better wife, mother, daughter and friend.

I read on Danita‘s blog this morning “it’s the perfect time to get rid of the things that have been accumulating during all the months that passed, to make space for new things to come to our lives”…..I love this! I, too, need to do some re-organizing and “evacuating” in order to make room for new.

Whatever your plans for the new year, I hope they all come true……just remember, it all starts with YOU! Wishing you all a happy, healthy, prosperous 2011!

PEACE
