Oh yeah, wall art/Goodwill

***Disclaimer:  I am working my way back by posting a few drafts that were filed.***

I know that many of you commented on the crossbody bag that I found recently at my local Goodwill.  Well, feast your eyes on this beautifully woven leather bag!! I am having a ball taking it around town and it is so easy and goes with everything!!  It truly is a found treasure that cost a whopping $4.99.  It has such an artistic feel to it.  I think this bag will be on repeat for the Summer too!!  Stay tuned....

If I May......

Mural in NYC, 6/2011

It is happening and I should just try to stop fighting against it.  It is just not working out the way I want it to.  You know what I'm sayin'?  The posting outfits even just 2x a week, getting ready, posing, fluffing my hair, and sharing the best of me with all of you!! There, I said it, I put it all on the table.  My plate runneth over and I need to clean it up.  I am currently training for my 3rd Half Marathon as many of you know and I am having the hardest time getting all dolled up to post here after my training runs.  The race is 4 days away and I need to narrow my focus and grind out my training. In light of the horrific events in Boston, and the devastating tragedy in Texas, last week, I have been in an emotional holding pattern.   Where does that leave us?  Well, it means that I so badly want to keep posting here, but can not at the moment.

  I appreciate your patience and understanding!

 I value you all and am really grateful for this outlet to share.  I hope to resume once the training, race and recovery periods are over.
I really appreciate you hanging in there with me.

 So please, stay tuned......

My View at Sunset

Just wanted to share what  I saw as I drew the drapes closed the other evening......Perfection!!

My Little Chicks

Easter Chick Figurines c/o Personal Creations.com 

I don't share too much here about my family, but a few details here and there.  So, I was totally surprised when out of the blue, a representative from Personal creations.com contacted me about my blog and my family.   Have you ever heard of them?  They are a part of the same company that sells, Red Envelope, Pro Flowers, Pro Plants, Cherry Moon Farms and Shari's Berries!! I have a monogrammed necklace with the kids' initials from Red Envelope that I cherish and have ordered Pro Flowers before, but I have yet to own anything from Personal creations!!

 I selected these cute little chicks that I thought characterized my own "little" chicks!!  When they arrived I wasted no time putting them on the mantle with a little fellow I picked up from my local Habitat store.  Isn't he a handsome fellow?

   Thank you, Personal Creations and your staff for sharing these adorable keepsakes with my family.

  I look forward to these being a part of our Easter decor for years to come.
Happy Spring!!

Daydreaming of Spring by classicfunk on polyvore.com

I had a blast putting this little collection together...it is my sweet daydream of Spring.  It does not feel like Spring yet, but I am super hopeful it will soon! In the meantime, I bid you happy weekend!!

Enjoy!

What's Up?

What's Up With That?

So, I am like many of you who are making the switch from GFC to other means of blog reading/filing.  I have made the switch to Bloglovin' and still have to get use to seeing this format.  I have many of the blogs I read/follow going to my email and I hope that you continue to follow along with me via email, Bloglovin' or other outlets?

Thanks so much for following along.  Here's to a smooth transition!!  Please check out one of my favorite SNL skits!! I'll date myself and tell you that I use to watch this kid and his sidekick growing up.  Remember Keenan and Kel on Nik?? Hilarious!!

Happy Tuesday!!
