Pre-Schoolers

It's starting to get crowded in that nest !! Four robin's growing fast as can be !!

Below is another shot, taken with Mom's zoom lens - they're hungry little robins !!

Crafty Cards

This afternoon into this evening, I hunkered down on the floor of the landing (aka my office area), and crafted some fun cards for friends and family. 

I have a long list of cards I want to make, today was only the tip of the iceberg.

I am happy to have crafted & to be dropping these in the mail tomorrow !!

Here are two tiny shots of the crafty fun I had. 

Many more will appear in the days and weeks to come !!

Just Follow Your Heart

" sometimes you gotta stop and remember that you're not going to live forever. be young. think smart. stay true. and just follow your heart ... "

As I have been unpacking, I am been looking at all my belongings with new eyes. Finding new purposes for things I've had for years, displaying forgotten treasures, and reminiscing about the past.

In all my unpacking, I have found so many items that were given & gifted to me and even made for me by friends ... these friends are all held so near and dear to my heart, even though I have grown apart from some of them over the years.

It makes me smile to think back on all the fabulous adventures we had, all the ridiculous inside jokes we shared, all the secrets we entrusted, and all the hilarious photos I still have in albums and boxes.

Friends definitely come and go from our lives, but I am so thankful to have all those past friends in my life while I did. They all still mean the world to me : )

And, as it seems it may never end, I'm still unpacking.

Down to the last bunch of boxes & bins, a fair number of which needs to just be taken down to the basement for storage.

That is my planned "task" for Wednesday this week - hopefully after that it will just be putting the last few odds & ends away, and hanging the last few frames & photos.
