Yesterday, August 28th, was my birthday. I have a little tradition that I always do on my birthday. Each year I make a list of one thing I want to do or accomplish for each year. It gives me something to think about and reflect on – instead of getting sad. Some of them are silly, some serious. I like looking back at the previous year ...

To celebrate, we had a fun backyard ladybug girl birthday bash with ladybug favors and bug antennae for all, a water blob (from pinterest of course), and a dress up lulu the ladybug costume for the birthday girl.

I love my little moments I find out in my Art studio. The space is a little workshop attached to our garage. The walls are covered with little bits of inspiration collected and, with a wall of windows on the west side, it is light and airy. This time of year, I head out a little early and turn on the space heater so that it is nice and toasty ...

So, today I am working on being a little more quiet, a little more reflective, and a little less productive. Wishing ...
