Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, it's 2/14/14 and it's 77 degrees here in New Mexico! Our crocuses are blooming as well as some of our other bulbs. So I just had to share a pic I made of a photo I took in our yard today. Hopefully I'll be able to update my blog soon! Been busy with art lessons and watercolor paintings!

Life is wonderful! Hope to see you all soon!

Happy Blogoversary to Me!

Wow! Time flies! I had no idea today was my Blogoversary. Ah, well. Been busy trying my best to get well & be creative at the same time. So no gifts this time...but maybe you can use the tutorial below, in a previous post, to get some inspiration!
I will be taking an online class in June. You can see the artist at her blog: http://joannezsharpe.blogspot.com/ I'm hoping to loosen up my art some. After June hopefully I'll have some new artwork to share with you!
Until then, have a wonderful summer!
And don't forget our veterans this Memorial Day!

International Awareness Day and Mother's Day

May 12th, 2013 was International Awareness Day for ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia. Trying to get the word out so people can understand about these diseases & hopefully help in any way they can. Here's a couple of pics from that day I found in Google Images & from my health sites. I want to thank everyone who has sent me well wishes, prayers, energy & support!

Even Niagra Falls got in on the action!

Blue for ME and purple for Fibromyalgia!

And this day also happened to be Mother's Day!

I hope all of you moms out there had a very

special day!

I wish you all could smell these wonderful carnations!

Long time no see! Or read!

So I'm gonna try to catch up on some of the things that have been going on in my life since...well, too long ago! Ha! I'll try not to put them all in one post so there's not a bunch of confusion. ;) Let's start with the end of 2012!

The first one is my Birthday 2012!!! Here are a couple pics from that special day:

Some lovely birthday gifts, cards & food!

And here's a special doll a dear friend made me!

I called her Blue Margarita!

She also made me one before that I called Pink Champagne!

And, since I really don't like cake,

here's a piece of my birthday pie!

Check out that great crown candle holder!

All in all it was a wonderful day! And I'm still in my 50s! :)

Then it was time for Cookie Day! This year I didn't take pics of all the cookies. But I did take pics of a few hot air balloons that decided to take to flight that day! Here's a couple pics:

This one you have to enlarge 'cuz they're in the distance.

Except for the one just to the left of the house you see.

Just click on the picture!

Here you can see the first balloon starting to descend.

Sure looked close to the bosque!

Then shortly after that it was the Solstice & Christmas 2012! We didn't do our regular big tree this year. Just decided on a simple celebration of the light of the season. Here's a couple pics from then:

Check out my little mice candle holders.

They're reading! One of my favorite pass times.

Outside we had paper farolitos/luminarias and

our circle of friends candle holder.

It was a very sweet time for us!

And that's all there is for the end of 2012!

Hope you all are having a great New Year!

On to the next post...

Happy Earth Day!

Here's hoping we all remember to have a Happy Earth Day!

Love our Mother!

P.S. I'll get back on here as soon as I can.

Been dealing with physical issues as some of you know.

Have lots to share...just need the energy!

Happy Thanksgiving! (Vegans Beware!)

We decided this year to start Thanksgiving early!

So yesterday my DH roasted this great bird!

And he even made some gluten free gravy!

So today we're having turkey soup.

On Thanksgiving we'll have all the fixings.

And there will still be lots of leftovers!

Hope you all have a peaceful & blessed day!

Got you, my pretty!

Some say Dorothy made it back to Kansas!

Muah ha ha! Check out those ruby reds!

And while you're at it,

Check out my moldy shoes next to my broom.

Hope you all had a happy Halloween,

Samhain, Shadow Fest, Dia de los Muertos,

or whatever you celebrate!
