Yum...

Well, ok, this is not my usual thing to share, but this morning I was in desperate need of syrup for my pancakes.  I did the hunt online and found this website with tons of recipes just for syrup.  So, here it is....ENJOY

Happy Valentines Day

Nothing like falling a little behind in life. Its been way too long since I wrote on my blog.  I hope you are enjoying your new year and it is better than the last.  Life has been pretty much the same for me, as always I end up doing too many things.  Anyway, today is Valentines Day, so make it a special day for those you love!  I had my surprise sitting on the stove this morning.  Got a beautiful dozen Orange Roses.  My husband knows me well!  Red roses are beautiful too, but I prefer the orange or yellow ones...they are all so pretty!  I will have to put up some photos a little later today.  Enjoy your day, mine has yet to begin! 
XOXO

My Word for the year!

I worked hard on this little project this evening and finally came up with something I like!  I only had to start over like 3 times...lol  I hope you like it...

FUN SITE!

If you like to play with words like I do, this site is really cool!  Visual Thesaurus puts together a cluster of words together for you with one little click of your mouse!  You get a fun diagram plus all the examples of the word you are looking up and the possibilities you can mean with that one little word.  I recently joined this online Scrapbooking Journaling group, its a years adventure in creating a journal using just the one word you pick!  So I did the hunt online because that is how I am....and I love a thesaurus cause that is how I am...and viola!  This is inexpensive to join for a year, only $20 and you can cancel at any time which I like just in case I change my mind.  But I doubt it.  You can always just do the copy and paste routine too if you prefer, but this puts it all together for you with just one little click... I know now what I am going to do for my Journal, I will keep you up to date as time goes by.  I may put together a different blog, we shall see!  Have fun checking out this site!  I know I did...hehehe

Happy New Year!

Ok, so Im a little late, but you know....really...its alright!  LOL  Ive been busy trying to figure out what my new year is going to bring me!  I made a really cool bracelet so far, joined an art journal group, re-upped my subscription to Doll Street Journal, made more stitch markers today, and joined a gym!  So, I think my new year will be a good one!  Here is my newest bracelet I thought I would share with you first since it is done...LOL  It is mine, and not for sale.  I do like to keep what I make sometimes...hehehe...  Hope you like it!  OH, just so you know, I am also working on another little article about photographing your art!  Just some things I have learned over the past few years of doing my own photography and some of the obstacles I have come across...Give me another week or two for the first part of the article.  It will be worth the wait I promise!

New Earrings

I am trying a different style and I just love it!  I found these really cute bird spacer beads and wasnt quite sure what I was going to do with them.  They are much tinier than I thought they would be but so dang cute!  I was going through my stash of beads and found these fun looking wired beads.  I thought they would be perfect for the birds and sure enough, they are a perfect match!  So here are the photos....Let me know what you think!

XOXO
