Suddenly Artistic

for today... 

outside my window...a few clouds and light rain.

i am thinking... how warm the weather was all during the past week.

i am thankful for... every day.

i am wearing... my usual...  jeans, t-shirt and flats.

i am going...  to definitely start walking and exercising this week... for sure!

i am currently reading... 'winter sea' by susana kearsley and re-reading  'voyager' by diana gabaldon.

i am hoping... my husband does not travel too often this year.

on my mind... my 'little word' for this year... release.

pondering these words...  'when it's dark enough, you can see the stars'  -c.a. beard-

from the kitchen... oatmeal with dried cherries, cranberries and almonds.

around the house... back to the old routine and therefore all is quiet.

one of my favorite things... an unplanned day to do whatever i want.

i'm creating... a photo book.

a few plans for the rest of the week... i for sure have more than a few! talk to college advisor, sat tutoring for my son, grocery shopping,  start getting together all papers for tax day, doctor's appointment, take car for service....etc...etc....

from my lens: 

you can join the simple woman's daybook  where every day is a blank page..... and participate in creating a list of the simple things and every day moments of our daily lives.

sorry i've been a terrible blogger i was supposed to post this yesterday but life does get in the way sometimes and  time just seems to have been flying by with so many things on my plate right now... but i promise, i've been a better mom and wife because of this...  ;)  

i guess one major event in our lives this year will be helping my son with the college process....he is on 11th grade (seems that it was only yesterday that i was driving him to kindergarten... *sigh*)

 and believe or not, he has to start it soon which means filling applications from his choice of schools, taking required tests, getting letters of recommendations, finishing his social work hours, visit to schools, ...etc....etc... which means i have to help a lot to make sure he's doing all that is necessary...  

he's decided to go to music school.... and i often wonder if a 16 year old really knows what he wants to do for the rest of his life.... i'm crossing my fingers he makes good decisions.

anyway, that's one of the things on my mind right now besides all the other things i want or have to do too.  i did manage to create a few layouts and i'm happy with the results. take a look:

i have no idea what it's happening to blogger but i just could not link my images to my gallery for list of credits. if interested please visit my gallery at o'scraps.

ninascraps is back with a kit perfect for valentine's day layouts and/or cards:
