Hello

 I wanted to drop in and wave hello to all of you out there who are still following my blog.  I have been going through a difficult time in my life and rarely think of blogging, although it's an extremely supportive community.  At least,  my small audience is. One of the things I have been doing to make myself feel better is art journaling. I was skeptical at first,  but it has turned


out to be one of the most enjoyable parts of my day.  Have any of you ever tried it, and what are your thoughts?

    Life can suck at times but you will prevail! I’m glad you found journaling a respite from your life right now. I have not tried it but I bet it is fun to do, no matter what, do what gives you some peace of mind and don’t care what anyone else thinks.

    Hi Andrea, I can't say that I am familiar with art journaling but it does sound interesting and creative. You are a very artistic person so it is quite fitting that it would appeal to you. I am so happy that it brings you joy!

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
