Ahhhhhh.... life is wonderful!

Merry Monday to you!

I hope your Christmas was amazing!  Ours was truly wonderful!  It's still hard to believe Christmas is over.  Every year it comes so fast.  I have to say, this year seemed to be a bit less like that.  I know it's because I told everyone that we weren't exchanging many gifts.  I told my girls that I didn't want any gifts and that if they really had an urge to spend money, to spend it on someone who really needs something.  They didn't spend any money and they gave me a picture frame they made.  It's the best gift I have received!

I am excited for the New Year!  I have so many plans and ideas for getting my artistic blood flowing and my business.  This week will be a great opportunity to regroup.  My sweetie is working and my girls are exhausted from visiting with their dad and his family, so I can focus and get back to some sort of routine.

A new twist on my blog...

If you had been to my blog in the past, you know what I'm talking about.  I am giving up my previous dishy blog so I can share my more passionate side.  Plus, there were a few people who  didn't appreciate my opinions about my "past".  I guess the truth hurts!

I have always been creative.  I remember "cooking" at the ripe age of 4.  While my parents were sleeping, I would saunter down to the kitchen and create wonderful concoctions... I am surprised I am alive.  I remember mixing cocoa powder with comet.  Stirring it for hours.  The color of green and brown mixing together fascinated me.  Good thing I didn't eat it.  I am probably the reason kids proofing was created.  My parents idea of kid proofing was then to lock my bedroom at night.  Sooooo, I got creative in my bedroom.  I started peeling the wallpaper!

Yep, even as a youngster, I couldn't sit still and always wanted to be doing something.  So, I am sharing my passion of creativity.

Welcome back...

Have fun with me, play and find your own creative side! I'll be sharing all sorts of things from my fabulous finds, culinary creations and those imaginative beauties I create out of paper, fabric, metal or... who knows...

Exciting news, as well... I have been engaged for over two years and we have set the date!!!  I will be married to my soul mate on June 19, 2010!  We are so incredibly excited.  Love the second time around is absolutely amazing!

I'll keep ya posted on that endeavor as I plan a wedding!!!!  

come back soon!  I won't bore you!
