                      ***********************************************************************
                               Ok... Hello! .... First off.. I tried to get this all to line up five time.... and it wont work for me today... so this is just the craziness of what happens down the rabbit hole!!! 
 And this is just a little post to get me over the bump 
                                                         of not knowing what to blog about!!!
                                                                           Because I dont!!!! 
                       Its pouring Snow outside, but inside my house is like a Fantasy 
                                                                           Land I admit!! 
                                   know its over the top, but it keeps me out of trouble!!! 
                                      and not to mention I am having a blast!! hee hee

                                                This is for a party later this week, ...
                         I have spent very little on everything, just using alot of what I        
                                                                            already had!!!

What color are your Memories?..........




I am already thinking of Spring! Here come the seed Catalogs, ... I am immersed in the planning of Future Gardens! I tend to think of myself as more of an "Artist" these days, so its just using a new medium to create with!
I love to travel for inspiration...Perhaps a trip to the Caribbean will help! Oh Yes thats right! ... I am going this week! LOL That will surely help my Winter Blues! ... I cant wait to see turquoise watersAnd Pink Flowers!!!!!! Ahhhhh.....
Here is a new necklace I made! I love it!! A miniature terrarium around my neck! It looks bigger than it really is... and its pretty sturdy too! I cleaned the whole house yesterday with it on!!!Let me know if any one wants one! I can make more!

Well its almost done! I painted the new shelf I got for Christmas! Yeah! I love the colors! ( Turquoise, green, and pink!) It just brightens up the whole space! spent almost the whole day there today... Very relaxing, and inspiring! The pics are kinda blurry because my daughter has my camera in London for a week! ( I am going through jpg withdrawals! )

Hope fully I will have my ETSY ACCOUNT OPEN THIS WEEK! YEAH!
Either that or my own website... I am still trying to figure out which I want to do....
Cheers!
