A good friend of mine commissioned me to make a wreath as a Christmas gift.
I think it turned out quite nice.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Mi cumpleaños es el cinco de mayo. The only sentence I remember from my years of Spanish. Translation: My birthday is May 5th.
Our lovely host for T stands for Tuesday, Elizabeth, sent me a a wonderful gift last week. She’s so funny…if you click on the image you’ll see what she wrote that makes me laugh.
We have a running joke about being late for each others birthdays even though they are within 2 weeks of each other.
She sent me some of her wonderful handmade paper that I absolutely love and a beautiful handmade book. I was having issues taking these photos so I apologize for them not being the greatest.
Each page has carefully selected words and images that speak to our friendship. I’m so happy to have received such a thoughtful and heartfelt gift. Thank you dear friend!
I do know that Elizabeth is planning to share about this book later in the week and will likely have much better photos now that she has a good camera.
Thought I’d also show you my seedings…
again…crappy photo. My photo mojo was totally off yesterday. The whole day was a bit off to be honest. Here’s to a better day!
I plan to watch a mid-day movie from the comfort of my couch….possibly with an adult beverage…it’s my birthday I can do that. No cleaning. I threw a roast is in the crockpot and the family can make the rest happen for supper. A Tuesday birthday during the school year doesn’t work so well for an evening celebration. Too busy. The way I figure is I just get to celebrate longer as we have time. 🙂
What are you doing today?

Is that just a Minnesota thing? I’d have to assume the H E double hockey sticks part of it anyway. But it IS cold today. So cold, they closed school. I haven’t been out of the house since Saturday when I stocked up at the grocery store.
I’ve been crafting, cleaning and reading.
I completed the last pages in my journal which happened to be the last page of the book and the first.
I didn’t plan it that way…it just happened. All that’s left is to remove the library plastic and alter the covers.
I’m also working on completing my 2014 art calendar project. Here’s a little sneak peek.
And I couldn’t leave you today without showing my reinbeers…
I made them for my neighbor whose b-day happens to be New Year’s Eve. This is a crummy photo but I snapped it quick before we left. He told me they were too cute to drink.
