Moss,Rocks,Glass - Creative Juices

Terrariums, I had seen them before, and admired them - but never thought I could put one together. This weekend- well, I put together 3 of them.
Best Bud and I have been checking out the various creations of others on Pintrest for awhile now. So, since we had creative hang out time today, we stomped through the woods around her home. We searched out different types of moss and carefully pulled off sheets of it to bring back for our pre-bought apothecary style jars. We found lichens on some sticks, various bark, and rocks we could use.

Once they were all laid out, we got busy...

First snow of the year!

What does the word snow do to you? Does it bring up fond memories of playing in it? Or does it bring up stress as you worry about slippery streets, accidents, and broken bones? Or as a child, do you hope for a day or two out of school/work?
I love the snow. The white clean and peaceful beauty of the snow crunching underfoot as you walk through it, or the chill you feel as you lay down in it and make snow angels. I still enjoy watching the individual flakes fall! It's like being inside a snow globe!  Do you take the time to look at a few of the flakes like we did as children? They are beautiful - another reminder that everything is purposeful, and designed for you to enjoy.
Ever heard of singing in the rain? How about dancing in the snow? Each season brings its own beauty and sense of change, each a gift given during its own time of the year.  Try to take time this year to appreciate the beauty around you. Each day is a gift - unwrap it!

First post of the Year

'First' is a key word used more at this time of year, and particularly this month more than any other.... or so I've been told. 

Goals are set and dreams are planted during this time of year. What do you have planned, or hope to cut out of your life this year?

Sweetie and I decided to make monthly goals this year. Time will tell at the end of the month. Since it is now the 12th it's almost at the half way point!  Is this a time of joy for you, or do you realize some of those goals are just as far behind as they were on the 31st of December?

Best wishes in the new year! I hope it is a terrific one for you!
