A Mad Tea Party

  It's time! I'm ready! I hope you can make it to  our mad tea party.I keep looking out My windows

and peeking out on the porch.

Watching  For My guest to arrive,hopefully before nightfall.


Will they be taking Bluebell Lane

or Coffeeberry Lane.

Hope they be careful going through the opening of My forest,it's a must to do so after nightfall.

 Even the little critters of the forest know to go scampering for home  at Tea Time.They are never late.

All is ready, water is hot.

Trays are set.


Everyone can pick out their own pot and cup.




There you are! So happy you made it !

Sit,enjoy My fresh strawberries........

Grab a sandwich,relax and visit, stay for a long lazy while.

Then tea and dessert will be served.

I love your company.Please come back soon.

Vanessa from over the hills who lives in A Fanciful Twist was our guest of honor.Please go visit her,she will lead you the way to more Mad Tea Parties starting July 28th. Thank you Vanessa .

Gastric Bypass Update

I'm feeling a little stronger.

The clouds of pain are lifting and life is looking colorful again.
I'm feeling His presence and His care.

I'm healing and everything is coming together.

I'm  walking...keep moving.
Things are looking up and I keep looking up.

I'll soon be feeling lighter.

I have so much support,a blessing.

Next week I can start SWIMMING.

I'm glad that I kept up with My hobby of making things. Even at the worst of times, I created in one of My playful art journals.This was the last  prompt from Kristin at Twinkle Twinkle, Watermelon Ice.Thank you Kristin,it was fun.I'm also joining Beverly's Pink Saturday --Both on My sidebar-Thank you too Beverly for all the pink fun.

All photos from Pinterest except My journals.

Where Bloggers Create 2012 blog party


 Walking into My room each early morning the sun glistening through My cabinet of gnomes,fairies,little friends of all kinds tucked into teacups and sitting on hearts.There is even a pair of hobbit ears I made. I may glance out the window to see what the weather will be.Put My coffee down, sit in My red chair and talk to God. I look to the wall and cabinets in front of Me filled with flowers and My family.I feel gladness and contentment most mornings.As the morning goes on,I will at some point start planning My day,it usually has time for Me to play with My art.I'll look through My art cabinets,boxes and mostly through My craft ottoman.What tag will I make today?I just have so much fun.Thank you for visiting,sit and lets craft :)

I Love this spot,My computer on one side, my book shelf and tv tray on the other side for My drink.

My family in front of Me.

See My craft ottoman open in the mirror? There's plenty of room for visitors.


I may not have a fancy craft room but I do have a lot of good times in My little room.

One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
