Happy Anniversary P.S. I Love You

This post is a tribute to my wonderful parents and their 50th wedding anniversary. It sounds like the same old cliche to say that I couldn't have asked for better parents, so I won't say that. I could have asked for better parents but they would not have been found, because I don't believe I could have two better people to be my parents. I am so proud of them and honored that they have chosen to stay together for all these years. They have made our family the special unit that it is today and made us (their children) the adults we are today. It is because of the love and support, that they showed each other and their children, that made myself and my siblings into doting parents and committed spouses. Please help me wish them a Happy Anniversary by leaving a little note at the end of this post.
I would like to end this post with my favorite family quote.

A Little Surprise

As I was running around this morning trying to get ready for my day I noticed something among my studio mess. It was a few pink things stuck in a nest with a sweet little pink bird perched in the middle. It wasn't finished yet, it looked like someone had started putting a little assemblage together. I thought how sweet that's what my daughter was doing in my bedroom for long yesterday. She even made a little crown for Jewel (that's what I named her) the bird. That was so sweet for her to start it for me and leave it as a surprise for me to find. Well you know I quickly hurried around and finished it. After it was put all together a added a little note to her Ribbon. It says "Love Comes In Small Packages" I thought that this was fitting since I viewed this as a little loving gesture on her part. Thanks Dani girl.
You can find Jewel and her nest for sale in my Etsy shop. http://www.studiopink.etsy.com/
I am not sure I want to part with her but then I will just be passing on the love.
"Love Comes In Small Packages" Pass it on!

Can You Feel It?

I lost my favorite picture today. I lost my muse. I need to touch down on a warm spring day.

Ahh spring, new life, fresh start, warm and bright. I need to see something spring, black soil, green shoots, new blooms. It's all right, it's on its way. In my mind I am walking in the sun, on the beach, the breeze is blowing softly across my face, the water is gently rolling in and lapping at my feet. I bend over and pick up the most beautiful shell, I marvel at it, put it in my pocket. A treasures from the sea. I am walking through the meadow with wild flowers bursting in full color at my feet. Into the woods I go though the moss covered trees. They are alive with new life nesting. Yes this is spring. I can feel it coming. My desires are not only wishes. I found my favorite picture, I found my muse, but I am still dreaming of spring. I feel like a new soul reaching out into the light. My roots firmly planted and my shoots are beginning to break ground reaching up to the sun. Warm on my face. Can you feel it? Bottle it up and share it with the ones you love.
