Day to day





















“You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.” ~ Paulo Coehlo
All is calm and well around here lately. The kids being sick has meant more crafting and more baking. Keeping my son out of the kitchen was nearly impossible as long as I was in it. He is such a love, wanting to participate in every step...Or, he could have just been bored out of his mind from being stuck at home with me for 5 days, he he... Crushing peppermint and melting chocolate fixed that :). We also managed to make cards, decorate paper, and play with brand new stamps that I am head over heels with. They are made by Yellow Owl Workshop, and you have to take a look!!

Okay, short but sweet, I'm off for more merry making...
much love to you friends
be happy

xoxo
