A Peek at Something Special....and Lets Talk!!

Hi Dear Friends,


First I want to share with you a
little peek at something I am
making as a gift to someone!!

I am making it in all their favorite
colors...something I think they
will really love!! :)

So what have all of you been up to?
I have so many talented followers
out there. Some are painters, some
embroider, some love to collage
with fabrics, others collage with
papers. Jewelry makers, journal
making.....etc.
There are so many mediums out
there in the art communities that
my head goes dizzy with so much
to look at. For instance Pinterest!
I "Pin" I like pinning...but after awhile
my head is spinning with so many
pictures...I must stop!! There are
all forms of addictions as we know
and I find I am becoming addicted
to looking at so much lately...ughh
I must resist the Force...hahaha
I do not want or need to keep
looking! So I'm going to pare
down my time spent...looking
at stuff and just relax..read
my Nook books which I have
about four novels open and
only partially read.....is this just
me??? Or do you do this too??

Please leave me a comment.....
I need to hear from you..ok??
I need to know I am not alone
in these things that overwhelm
me at times....Tell me what
overwhelms you and how you
cope with the onslaught of stuff
out there!!

Well tomorrow is another
day.....Ciao Bella!


Love to All and to All a Great Day!!

Susan

    I hear you! I don't even go to Pinterest because I don't want to get sucked in. I have been trying not to spend so much time online, reading blogs, and failing miserably. So if I miss an occasional post of yours, please forgive me!

    I love pinterest, but now I've got so many pic of projects I want to do it is very overwhelming! I have a kindle, and I have a hard time finding free time to just sit and relax and actually read it. I guess its a balancing act...I will have to force myself to slow down, maybe make a list of priorities (I'm a list maker :)) I think everyone gets caught up sometimes..it's hard not to when there is so much cool stuff it look at!

    Yes, Susan I am one of those that quickly become addicted to anything fun! Having just started blogging, I am just trying to figure it all out while making a few interesting items! Can you tell me how bloggers get the individualized headers (other than the generic ones from Google?) Do I need to hire someone to help me? I enjoy reading what you have to say.

    I do personalized custom headers, banners, avatars and business cards if you need something let me know and we can discuss details

    Dear Susan,
    you are right, I also use far too much time blogging, maybe not as much on Pinterest, and I don`t Pin anything- can `t involve myself in that also, as I have to be in my shop at dayes, and in the evenings I write and read my dear friends posts- I prefer that from Pinning myself.But sometimes I visit my friends on Pinterest to see what they found! BUT only sometimes...
    Hugs,Dorthe

    Beautiful work!! Your friend will love it!
    I agree that we might need to cut back and leave some time for book reading. I use to read a lot, then I got to blogging and pinning. well you know how it goes!
    Hugs, Maki

    Hi Susan-Yes, it can get overwhelming at time with all the "looking" and then not getting much done. I have to really set time limits for myself. Your little frame is very cute with the doily attached.

    Hope your bursitis gets better...there is nothing worse than being in lot tern pain. xo Diana

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
