Beginnings & Endings...

I often think about times of my life as drawers in some kind of chest.

I open a drawer,

I experience,

I close a drawer

...and open another one.

Today closes a drawer on my summer vacation. Tomorrow opens one for a brand new year of teaching.

It was a very good summer.

It went so quickly...but life seems to go more quickly these days.

And I can open this drawer up again...

Let Them Eat Cake

It was a good little party at Grama's house and I so enjoyed making this cake.

23 Years Ago Today...

...my sweet daughter, Michelle, was born.

Happy Birthday!

You certainly have made the world a more beautiful place.

Love, ~Mom xo

Keeping me from working...

I can't put it down.

Even etsy's Danita and Pam Carriker (both of whom I've purchased from) are "layered throughout"!


I'm in art journaling heaven.
Won't you join me?

A Teacher's Thoughts...

I am planning and preparing.

Do students know that teachers can be just as nervous, excited and anxious as they are when summertime ends and a new year of the unknown begins?!

Good Morning!

Hoping you enjoy your Saturday!

Leaning Toward Greens...

I am excited to be using my favorite color in the new living room, soon!

Thank you for your comments

...and stay tuned!
