Joyful, Joyful, I am Joyful

If it's one thing that I have learned in my half-century of life, it's that life is made up of trials, tribulations and snippets of joy.  It's those joyful moments in time that we remember and that we should cherish.  This is a new card that I made, and it's filled with joy.  I am thinking of opening an etsy shop and filling it with my greeting cards.  Thoughts?

Soup that's Good for the Soul

When I stepped through my front door this afternoon after having lunch with my son, I spied a small, plain brown paper wrapped package on the arm of the couch addressed to me.  With an inner-squeal I opened with delight the wonderful package from my bead-soup party partner, Shea of gr8findings.etsy.com.  Such loveliness and beauty.  With only one email between us Shea managed to get all of my favorites into that little package, all the way down to my favorite flower.  How could she have known this?  I've decided that Shea is magic.  Stay tuned for more posts on my creative path with these wonderful trinkets and the big reveal on June 18 of all of the blog party pretties.  Until then, Shea, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
