Dear Rebecca -

Dear Rebecca,

I love my new journal!

I can't tell you how much I love each and every page....

 It's is amazing in real life!

Every page is more beautiful than the next,

after years of not having a special journal,

I now have the perfect place

to write all of my thoughts and ideas!

I Love It!

Rebecca Anthony is one of the most talented artists I know, out there in the blog world.

So full of inspiration and creativity. She has been so supportive of my artwork here on my blog for the past year! She's a wonderful blog friend to me!

She is now selling her beautiful illustrated journals

here,

You may want to purchase one, I did, and I LOVE it!

And you can visit her blog, here
Her work is incredible!
I think you will agree!

Thanks Rebecca!

Creative Tuesdays - Lucky

 Madeline was the luckiest mouse of all...she had found her four leaf clover!

and when I saw the Creative Tuesday's prompt over at Mr. Toast's I quickly sketched this out...

Just a few little good luck charms for my friends, over there.

Well, one thing I know is that I am lucky to have found such a wonderful group of people here in the blog world to share my days with! 

Thank you for that!

Now, I am off to visit Mr. Toast, and see all of the creative entries!

Lucky me!

Grab a pencil and paper and come join us!

An Award...and Halloween Decorating

Here's just a peek at some of the Halloween decorating that's been going on around our house.

I love anything that glitters, and these pumpkins from Michael's do the trick.

We also filled out apothecary jars with

green moss and skeleton heads.

Apothecary jars from Home Goods are a plenty around my house!

Black candles are also a must!

and every house needs a witch's broom, right???

we do not want anything too scary around here,

so these soft, plush pillows, from Target (we have a ghost, too)

are perfect throughout the house.

Have you been doing any holiday decorating?

and a big, huge, giant thank you to Leen Christens for the wonderful Lovely Blog award.

Please pop over to her blog, to see her adorable work!

Thanks Leen!!!

A rainy day...

Rain, rain go away, my kids are sick and we're home all day!

Ok, so we are making the best of another rainy day here...it's a good day to do some artwork and crafts with the kids...(see my pages section up top for a rainy day craft idea)

cuddle up next to the fire and read

The New York Times...

 And for all of you bloggers out there, this article in today's Style's section might be of interest to you....

"Honey, Don't Bother Mommy. I'm Too Busy Building My Brand" by Jennifer Mendelsohn

....it's all about Blogging, Blogging Boot Camp, mommies and blogs and corporate America...all joining forces together, I found it pretty interesting...tell me, what do you think?

Enjoy the rain, and stay dry!
