Sprucing it Up...

Hello World!

Are you still out there reading? This place has been abandoned. I can't really say that my interests changed, I just lost my mojo.

Then summer came along and I decided it was time to take a break after I finished a few classes and just play.

And I did.

We rode our dirt bikes, went kayaking, played on paddle boards, swam at the lake and river, soaked in hot springs, did yoga, and lounged in my new hammock anyplace I could think to set it up!

Now that winter is settling in...I am doing some "house keeping". My shop is updated, the blog and my facebook page have a new look, and soon I will be offering my services for Web Design and Blog Templates. I have been fiendishly learning and applying some new skills and I am excited to be adding to my abilities. 

Hope you are all doing well...see you back here soon :)

How Long Has it Been?

Happy Tuesday!

It's already been a super productive morning. I woke up early to go teach a Yoga class (the regular instructor had a family event come up). Normally, I practice in the late afternoons or evenings.

Morning was different. Refreshing. I am in love with Down Dog and Frog Pose. I'm ready to tackle this day! Namaste :)

Yesterday I finally went down to my craft room and scrapbooked. I can't even remember the last time I made a page. I've had the urge. The desire. Never the follow through.

Words do not describe how content I felt yesterday when I finally started putting papers together, cutting, glueing, and creating!

I listed this one on eBay. I also have another one that I am hoping to finish today. I'll post it here when I get it done.

I'm not sure which part I enjoy more...the coloring or the scrapping. Good thing I get to do both!

It's been awhile since I posted a free goodie. This happy guy is looking for some love and attention:

Download him by clicking here: Happy Dog. Directions on how to use him are posted at the top of the blog :)

Okay. I'm off to be creative.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year...

10 days of break. And I can't tell you where they went...

Family. Food. Cleaning. Food. Family.

And then the flu.

That was fun. 10 people in the house, and it hit every single one of us! The little ones are the worst. They can't tell you when they are about to explode, it's never near a bucket, and it's always the worst possible place to clean up.

I slept away one whole day of the break. And I'm pretty sure each of my kids did too. We just rotated days.

But before the nasties hit, we played at the park:

Spent some time playing with rocks by the river.

And I did some Yoga!  I am working on mastering Crow Pose. One of these days it will just come naturally, but for now, I still am happy if I can just count to 6 or higher before I fall out :)

Here's to a happy, healthy, and creative 2012.

Still Fuzzy

It's getting better, that fuzzy, underwater feeling in my head. But not much. I was thinking I had kicked it by Tuesday, but it feels like Velcro. Still stuck to me!!

Tuesday night I managed some Yoga. All on my own. No video. Just memory and a magazine article for prompting. That felt good!!

Last night I walked 3 miles. Tomorrow I am walking a 5K, in the dark. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to the walk and then some time with my sister :)

Also, if you enjoyed the snowman treat from the last post, you are sure to love what Patty has done with it. She is offering a variation of him with word art on her blog. Be sure and stop by and see it :)

Looking forward to Friday!
