HUBBY LOVE

Well I have been a bit busy with my class, but it's fun and energizing to use my brain once in a while. My hubby has wanted family pictures in his office for a long time, he asked me months ago (I know, I'm a bad wife) so I decided to just GET IT DONE! So this is the wall arrangement I made on my bed, prior to final glue down (all the white edges) he was happy with the final result and now looks at all of us all day, helping him remember why he works so hard...thank you honey, we love you more then you know and appreciate all the hard years you have worked for our well being. XOXO

CLOCKS

So clocks are another thing I love, all different shapes and sizes, but I am picky about a "good looking face"...you know, the style of the numbers and hands...this was a clock I took apart and made for a friend's son, he loves baseball, for that matter they all love baseball, the clock came with the baseball face, I just added stickers, wood cutouts, and the pictures and BELIEVE rub on...it was fun and I went out and bought two more clocks, different from this and I still haven't made them up yet...looking for some inspiration I guess, but I need to work on that...a scrappin up project for fun...

I LOVE CUPCAKES

I love cupcakes...not so much to eat, although they are yummy...I just love that they look like a little mini cake, and you can decorate them so many cute ways...They are fun to make too, so baking isn't so boring when you make cupcakes...maybe I should open a cupcake shoppe...that would be fun...but maybe too much work, that might take the fun out of it...will have to think about it....

ONE OF MY WISHES

One of my many wishes in life is to live by the coast...of course in this area I could never afford to live anywhere near the beach...but a girl can dream can't she? I never tan, and I really don't sunbathe...but I love the sound of the waves, the smell of the sea, and fog that comes with it...a good book, a comfortable chair, no wind, and an umbrella and I am content...until I have a chocolate or coffee craving...but I would be content for a few hours...it's so beautiful.

Coastal Living is my favorite magazine, the only one I subscribe to, I have the first one, fell in love with it immediately, and give it as gifts to special people in my life. I keep it all intact, whereas my other magazines I yank out the pages I like and throw the rest away...can't keep them all, and I would rather keep my Coastals then any of the rest cause it will never go out of style....

DON'T ASK ME WHY

Ok, don't ask me why, cause I don't have a clue...I love old keys. They absolutely fascinate me, but I have no idea why...is it the shapes, the colors, the intricate detail, the sizes, the simplicity...I don't know why I like them...nothing rings in my childhood...I can't remember having a great run in with an old key...I am at a loss, I should collect them, but I wouldn't know what to do with them...maybe it is tied to something about me that loves front doorways too...entryways, porches, I love doorways, no clue why...maybe it's always exciting to me because doors often lead us to somewhere we haven't been...and keys unlock the doors...what do you think? I know, you think I've lost it...

TIME

I saw a wonderful quote yesterday on a church billboard...

"The rhythm of God's timing can only be broken by disobedience"

It's so true, God can take days, weeks, months, probably even years to make a single situation come to fulfillment, and at the last moment, because we have a free will (that's probably why it took so long) we can turn away from His opportunity to bless us, because we decide we might have a better plan for ourselves...if only we could learn to sit back, and relax, cling to His promise and watch Him at work....amazing things we miss out on...

FAMILY FLIP ALBUM

This little family album is easy and fun, just chipboard (the cardboard on the back of a pad of paper) that has scrap papers glued on and then hole punch the cards and add pictures, then put them on a book ring and add ribbons to cover it, and little journaling tags...so fun, and I got this idea from Donna Downey, love her stuff...
