Welcome!

Every night I go to bed, I have thoughts swirling in my head. Things to do. Scrapbook pages I want to create. Gifts I want to make. Skills I want to learn. And, of course, daily happenings that I don't want to forget, but invariably will by tomorrow morning, only to pop up in a random thought weeks down the road. So, here I am. I may use this blog daily to empty my head and heart before cuddling up in my duvet, or as it may be, I may write in it once a month. Who knows. It is for me, but perhaps something I write or learn may spark a fire in someone else. Perhaps it may quiet a mind or make you feel like you are not alone out there. It is for me. But perhaps it is for you.

For Today: January 8, 2011

Back to my monthly ritual...

Outside my window...still a few strings of Christmas lights hanging on to the holiday joy.

I am thinking...thank all deities out there for helping me to find the end of schooling and a new beginning full of crafty goodness.

I am thankful for...a day with nowhere to go and nothing that needed to be done. 

From the kitchen...salmon and rice for dinner; fresh cheese bread about to come out of the bread maker; chocolate chip banana muffins soon to be fresh-from-the-oven. 

I am wearing ... jeans, slippers and a hoodie.

I am creating...time to enjoy my family & friends, to exercise and to craft!

I am going...to take Kai to his first gymnastics class tomorrow!  (Brady, I promise to continue calling it 'tumbling' in your presence)

I am reading...The Seeing Stone, as research for my class's Middle Ages study.

I am hoping...to be able to play a whole hour of basketball tomorrow without seizing up :)

I am hearing...Kai splashing around in the bath with his new toys.

Around the house...scrumptious smells and evidence of a fun-filled day.

One of my favourite things...a clean crafting room and Kai's exploration of the make-believe world.

A few plans for the rest of the week...beginning snowboarding lessons, trying on bridesmaid dresses for Kelly's wedding, a day up at Whistler with the Grade 5s.  A perfect way to begin a new year...
