Green Tulips




"May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks. May your heart be as light as a song. May each day bring you bright, happy hours. That stay with you all the year long."

A Weekend in Delaware

The unique thing about the east coast is that you can find World War II Bunkers and watch towers.
Kind of eerie.  it also reminds of what our families went through back then. Watching and worrying.

Cape Henelopen - Bayside 

The wind was fierce. There was a snow storm the day before.
As you can see it was not a day to be out on the water. 

If you can do it. You should visit a beach during the winter, especially if its a state park. Since its too cold to sit in one spot, you can have an adventure and discover new places. Here I was on top of a platform that was made for watching hawks and native birds. I never knew this was here and I've been going to this beach for over 10 years. What a great view. Just wish the wind wasn't so strong. 
Still it was worth it!

Valentine Card with Flourish!


This is my Valentine design for this year. My friends say I add
flourish to everything that I can, so this year I had cupid shoot
a flourish of love and swirls. It is printed on a 5x5" photo matte paper.
Then I mounted it onto a 5.25"x5.25" sheet of pink or black glittered
cover stock. Then I cut out the one heart to show off the glittered background.

When Balance in Life is Needed

Yoga Cards: Balance - even with nature, it can be achieved. I look at these rocks that I found throughout the Maine beachline this summer and I was instantly at peace.
