Great Tuesday in the NE

We are having such a nice winter, its really like
Spring around here, a big change, love the sunshine,
the warm temperatures, and the blessings.


One of my favorite colors is Aqua, and I found some
inspiration for us:



Love the Seltzer bottles in a beautiful aqua color.



Grate iron bed!!!

love the rug and the chairs in brown, these chairs look good, but they are very uncomfortable
to sit on, trust me!!!!!

Blessings on Sunday

Hello my friends:


What a week!!!! A lot of mixed feelings about our
friend Whitney.  We will miss her, unfortunately she
was crying for help with her addictions. I believe in treating addictions like we treat other diseases, like Diabetes, cancer, etc.  Without treatment people with addictions get worst and died.
She showed signs the day before of a very dark turmoil by excessive drinking and behavior by the pool according to the news.  However, people ignored the signs.  People do not behave like that
unless they are very very sick.  I can't believe that her helpers stylist, hair and make up, drivers, maids,
restaurant workers, anybody in that hotel didn't come to help her before she died.  I felt very bad about her daughter since she had to be the adult in the relationship.  I hope she holds on to the good memories of her Mom.


Thanks for your comments about Whitney.


On to another topic.


I had a great time at our monthly craft class. The girls are so talented, we made lots of paper crafts, laugh, and just had a great time. I find this group very relaxing.


Do you belong to a craft group?? Do you get together and craft? Its more fun to do it with friends.  Our teacher is so sweet and talented. I experimented with glitter from MS I made a butterfly card from a MS kit.  Personally, it was hard because Martha Steward
likes to mix her glitter to make shadows.  I finished it but I of course didn't mix it as good as the model.
The glitter is super fined, and I had it all over. Oh yes, I used her little tray, brush and all, still, I made a big
mess.  Sorry I didn't take a picture, but I will soon.

    Good Bye Whitney



    What a beautiful inspiring tribute to Whitney Houston.  I pray for the familyt
    for comfort for her daughter, and for God's grace to help them during
    this hard time.

    The service was beautiful and I loved to hear the artists, the choir, she is listening
    and rejoicing in heaven.  Her pain is gone, finally she is at rest.

    We lost a great artist...

    Dear friends:


    A beautiful sheet music wreath, with 32 Hits From
    Broadway, like "Baby is cold outside", "In My Arms" and more.  I just made this huge wreath, it measures 25" in diameter.  It has over 200 pages, just something for a music room, living room or bedroom.
    The book is old and I still have lots of pages left.








    The world lost a great artist, Whitney Houston, an incredible singer, we pray for her daughter and family.  A real tragedy, listen to some of my favorite
    songs on my playlist,


    Have a great day
