Valentine Madness!
I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day and when I found some vintage Valentines similar to those we used to hand out when I was in elementary school, I just had to decorate our den for the occasion!
‘Nuff said!
I just had to do it!
An old flat, water hyacinth basket (Goodwill) became the background for an assortment of Valentine elements.
The focus of our den, done up in hearts and flowers.

…champagne dreams…
…cavier wishes????
…a touch of country…
…wearing my heart(s) on my tablecloth….
…a serving of flaming hearts1…
…a new pillow with a heart-felt statement! (The pillow is a custom order item that is new in the Thirty-one Gifts Spring and Summer Catalog!)
Reflections of 2013
This year, 2013, has been an adventure about which I can’t complain. I’ve run 4ish half-marathons if you count fumbling on the Disney Wine & Dine and only completing 10 miles. My family has had ups and downs but we are as close as ever. Work has had its ups and downs, but I am in the end happy with the outcome and will ride this career plateau for now. I’m happily in love and can’t believe how lucky I am in finding this gentleman (online, in fact). August of this year was one year and I am enjoying this adventure with him.
Next step is looking to 2014 and what the year will bring. I’d like to plan a few goals and adventures, but I know many things in the coming year will be spontaneous and I welcome those as well.
I’m such a lucky gal!

I’ve got a feeling!
I have an antsy energy that is nagging on my soul. Do you know what it’s saying?
BE CREATIVE!
There are at least two types of creativity in my life. One type belongs at the office but I don’t feel that creating a mind-blowing memo about council requirements satisfies that second type of creativity.
I want to dive into the second type that screams for a walk-around of Michael’s. The one that upon seeing a blank journal widens its eyes beyond belief. The type that when holding a camera wants to run outside and start snapping the shutter.
Do you ever feel that creative nag? How do you satisfy it?
