Happy Mother's Day

Dear God,
If roses grow in heaven then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss on her cheek and hold her for awhile. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS.

Viva Las Vegas

Going to Las Vegas next week, staying at the Palazzo, getting married!

Of The Day

Book- Evernight by Claudia Gray
Candle- Sonny&Cher- Candles by Victoria
Fragrance- Butterfly flowers
Nail polish- Tickled Pink- Sally Hansen
Peeve- people who say "These ones"
Qoute- Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Poem in Your Pocket Day.

In case you didn't know, April is National Poetry Month and today is Poem in your Pocket Day. Everyone is urged to carry a poem with you today and share it with friends or co-workers.
The following poem has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. Hope you all have a favorite poem, and I hope you will share it.

Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

~ Joyce Kilmer

A quick post

About five months ago we had to put my mom in a nursing home. Around that time I lost all my desire to do art, so I haven;t been on here too much. I just wanted to let you ladies know that my mom passed away last night. We knew this was coming, but it's still very hard.
Please keep posting all your great art work.... maybe I'll get inspired again.

Hugs

Kitchen Disaster

Okay....has anyone ever drop a can of Pam on the floor? Trust me, its not pretty. I drop a can on the kitchen floor this morning and the nozzle locked into the spray mode, so in a few seconds my floor was covered with slippery, butter flavored Pam. So I pick it up and tried to fix the nozzle, not good, it broke off....now I'm covered with buttery flavored Pam.

My kitchen floor is ceramic tile and is now like an ice skating rink. I finally threw the can into the sink where it is still "hissing" away like a buttery flavored snake. HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

What does this picture have to do with Thanksgiving? Nothing at all. I just figured you were all tired of looking at turkeys and cornucopias.

Hope you all have a happy and healthy Turkey Day.
