Comfort in the Cold

Last night, the snow glistened in the moonlight...just like the glitter we play with. It was incredible. When things get busy for you, my wish upon a falling snowflake is that you catch hold of a peaceful moment.

Art and an Anniversary

I met you at Loket Castle.

I have since gotten lost in vibrant, color-rich textures...



...and gone off to faraway places.

Happy etsy-versary my Deer* firefly friend, EriKa.

You make the world a more beautiful place.

Happy Mail!

It's that time of the year when you check your address book, go to the post office for Christmas Stamps (and decide if you really want to lick those envelopes) but the cards! The cards! Oh the beautiful Christmas cards created by etsy artists. Here are some of my very favorite ones. Peace and joy to you. ~Kathy

December is here...

...and so was the first snow when we woke up!

I didn't use a flash, so he's a bit bluish, but he was born today!

Mr. Buttons?

Happy December to you!

A Peaceful Day

Still feeling full, happy, a little sleepy, and enjoying this long 4-day weekend. Thought I would go for a power walk, but it's raining way too hard, so I did some journaling and then went to a craft show with my mother-in-law. I am now feeling like going through my papers, fabrics, and stamps, hoping to create something really fun. I am so thrilled to be able to have choices today! So many days in a row I have too much that I have to do, and not enough time to do what I want to do so badly. This is good. Isn't it nice to feel peaceful and content? I hope you feel this way, too....and that you have yummy leftovers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

May you have warmth, love, friendship, blessings and good food today, and much to be thankful for always.

In My Book Corner

Here's what I am settling in to read tonight: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I love books (and paper, yes!) so this seemed perfect for me. I am relaxing my body and my mind in preparation for lots of Parent-Teacher Conferences before Thanksgiving.

Have you read it ? Tell me what you think!

What are you reading? And, what do you recommend? I love having a new pile to devour...when time allows! Have a great week everyone! Find time to do what you love to do best! ~Kathy♥
