A close up!

My 'Believe' Angel... The words are: Believe on top then below the list goes like this...Trust your intuition...leap fearlessly...Embrace your truth...take flight towards your dreams...feel the abundance of your life...collect moments of kindness...do the thing you never thought you could....celebrate the gift of today...Never give up, Ever

On the back where the ribbon attaches is a pewter oval with the word "Peace" on it.

What a wonder she is!

Believe fits right in!

Isn't she lovely? I found the perfect spot. This angel is a hanging one not a stand up one and I am glad for the spot on my wall was calling her! Thanks so much Kelly Rae Roberts for this Giveaway and for your beautiful artwork that heals hearts!

Who Delivers on Saturday? U.S. Postal Service that's Who!

She has arrived. The big yellow/brown envelope all padded with bubble inside was leaned against the door while I was baking and making. I brought her in carefully and tended the fires, made the supper and found the swagcode. Dish water is run and hot so I cannot open her yet. I am savoring the opening and will do it later when the dishes are done. When Jack is in bed and I am alone with my music and my thoughts. I will show him tomorrow but he doesn't much care for the things I adore. He is polite and nods but soon is engaged about a thought of his own. I think I am a mystery to him, sometimes a painful one and other times quite a character that he loves dearly.

So 'Believe' is waiting for me and I am going to do the dishes now. I made them while enjoying my kitchen creatively. I made cookies from my childhood called "Blame Good Cookies"!  Memories can be a wonderful thing and I am still making them! I will take pictures when 'Believe' is placed where she will be happy and I will be satisfied!

I won the middle big girlie named 'Believe' and she will go perfectly on the pink wall in my studio with several other Kelly Rae Roberts artwork, photos and other artwork! I feel so blessed to win this and cannot wait to see 'Believe' in person. The blog asked, as Kelly is looking at names for her baby she is carrying that we give a girl and a boy name and I listed Ziva for the girl name and Beck for the boy name. Wow!

Thinking of Spring even though it isn't fully here yet.

I am sitting on the stump left from the Willow Tree thinking of how to change my yard on my current budget of "Now What?"

This is where I lay my head!

Surrounded by things I LOVE!

Here is a conglamorate corner with Kelly Rae's stuff and a watercolor I love!

My Droll and Wonderful Ladies Adorn My Cottage!

They are so whimsical and pleasant to live with. I just keep thinking that I must find another wall!

My Little Computer Corner in the Studio

I love certain artists and collect their work! Kelly Rae Roberts is one! I want one of her stand up dolls!

A gift from a friend! Thanks it looks lovely on my wall!

One of the Ladies is saying to the other "She is the one that did it!"

Can't you just hear the whisper?

My Kitchen Wall with the New Copper Pot!

So Today I Will Go Forward!

I have much to show you and today is work day to do just that. I have waited a year to feel the muse and it is here now!

People get ready!

We look out at Spring Peeking at us!

My Dining Room Laughs!

These two lively ladies are at play and mischief just comes their way! I love to laugh it up with the girls...

I Think I May Be Ready

So I am going to try to share my enthusiasm for my Cottage with whoever is out there. It is a foggy rainy day in WI as it is Spring and that is just the way it goes so no outside stuff is planned. I will instead show you some changes to the inside> Here we go Alice! Down that rabbit hole we go...
