Got the chance last Sunday night to hang with some gals and make a little craft, creative time. Some old friends and some semi-new, and brand new! Was fun to chat and breath in the talented air that was floating in the room! : D Even though Sis had us play a game that had me out of my comfort zone, it was all good and I actually enjoyed the process and spontaneity of it when we where done. Discovered the common love of "Pinky and the Brain" and many uses for the word, "snark". Can't you see Pinky saying that, "snark!". LOL So thanks Sherri for the get-together, will look forward to the next one.
Found this great quote and it has been on my mind a lot this week.
"We are shaped and fashioned by what we love" - Goethe
Here are just a few of the things I love:
Old jewelry. Loved it since before the eighties. Maybe because it was what my grandmother wore. Not sure, but have always loved these kinds of pieces. The spark-lier the better.
A new love.
Color and sparkle, the best of both worlds.
Vintage images...whats NOT to love. (These are from Birds & Butterflies by Nancy Rosin, copyright free images).
Velvet. Enough said.
Color!
Everything on my junky inspiration board!
What do you love?
Have a great weekend!
It looks like, we like a lot of the same things. However, you seem to have quite a bit more of the things we have in common. I just found my glitter tubes, that is my favorite glitter. I have to get a few more colors though.
Sounds like you had a nice night!

... paper, fabrics that beg to be touched, origami cranes, that one-with-the-universe feeling that happens when in the midst of creating with that easy rythm, the scent of cookies or bread baking, blogs (such as yours) that are chock full of humor, kindness and inspiration, sparkly shiny things, chai lattes, french manicures, crawling into a freshly made bed - with still warm sheets, breathing, being ... and so much more!
