Nature Rocks!

This past Saturday me and the hubby took the girls to White City Park, here on the Treasure Coast of Fl. Awesome! We BBQ'd, checked out cool trees, and watched the pond for gators! We will definitely have to do this more often!

Excitement on the way there

Daddy and our girls- gator watching

These trees had spanish moss all over them.

Until next time- enjoy nature- 'cuz it rocks!

Gratitude

This Thanksgiving we barbequed. Everybody is kinda sick and we just decided we will do all the big cooking another day. I think that we should practice giving thanks everyday- I know i do. I am a big gratitude list maker!!! Here is my gratitude list for today:

1. A most awesome supportive husband
2. Healthy kids with the most awesome senses of humor
3. Great friends
4. afternoon naps
5. a roof over my head and food in the fridge
6. morning coffee
7. my own art studio
8. my blooming morning glories
9. always eating dinner together as a family.
10. My health -
This list could go on and on. The little things are very important.
Here is a pic of our B-B-Q Fire!!!

This is what we are doing for Thanksgiving!!!!, a photo by Bird in a tree creations on Flickr.

Until next time- what are you grateful for?

Morning Glory

I have been slowly working on getting a garden back after the white fly invasion. One plant at a time. My Morning Glory bloomed. I love it when there are little water droplets on flowers!

Until next time- keep bloomin'!!!

Evolving

Today I did a craft show that I do every year, the only one I do. I would really like to concentrate more on making an online presence. I do this one with my my friend and my mom and we have a great time. It was even slower than last year! I did however sell a handful of items. The best parts of the show were the compliments people gave me on my paintings. I believe people will not go out of their way to give you a compliment unless they actually mean what they are saying. I also noticed that my paintings made a lot of people smile and that was awesome! Even though I did not sell any of my art work, the positive feedback was great confirmation that I am on the right path! The best comment of the day was when a woman came up that had bought some items from me last year and told me she loved my work and that I was totally evolving. It made me do a little "Evolving" happy dance. Tee hee he!
Here are a couple of pictures of my table.

Until next time- Keep evolving!!!

Snail Tree

I am not proud to admit that I killed a beautiful Gardenia tree that my husband gave to me. It was attacked by white flies and I was not fast enough on the eradication of them. Just when my porch was starting to come together. The other night I was on the porch and saw the coolest thing, there were snails all over my dead tree. It looked like a tree that grew snails! LOL Here are some pics. Not too good because they are night shots.

Until next time, keep movin'-

Fast Moving Time

These are my girls on Halloween! Willow was supergirl and Wren was a mermaid princess. Time seems to be moving very fast for me lately. There just never seems to be the time I need to work towards my goals. Sometimes it makes me sad. Sometimes I put too much pressure on myself. I need to remind myself that all things will happen when they are supposed to happen. Putting pressure on myself does not move things along. My girls are 3 and 4 and they will both be in school before I know it. I need to savor these times while they are here. There will be plenty of time to work on my goals once they are in school. For now I will just do what I can, when I can and enjoy each day.

Until next time, Savor the day...
