It's not easy...but i'm getting my groove back

things are starting to "feel" normal here. i use normal in a not so normal way. my husband and i have separated. it's been almost 3 months now. my emotions have read like a road map. but, i am feeling "better" the "blues" are becoming pink, white & other great colors. i've had the bug. the bug to create. create and nest!!!!! i think they are great therapeutic feelings!! i'm sharing a few today. i will get back to the blog soon also. i'm getting back into my nursing career. i'm working in the area of hospice care. giving one on one care and dignity to my patients is very important to me, hospice care gives all that. i've added a few items to etsy, creating, nesting and caring all get emotions!!!!
blessings to all

As I move into the new season of my life...

I have to step away from blogging & all that makes my heart sing. I'm not sure how long I will be on this sabbatical. I've closed my booth space, packed away all my projects and, I'm not looking at my craft room with the same desire I once had. This is due to some serious marriage issues, returning to work full time and the pressures of the "real world", the grown up world that sucks the life out of you!! I can't do it all. I have done my best! It's all in the LORD'S hands now. I have enjoyed my journey blogging. The creative talent that has blessed so many leaves me in awe each time I find a new blog! I've said it before I enjoy visiting and reading the blogs more then I do posting. So, as I move fore ward faced with much uncertainty I know I can step back into this WORLD!! A place where I can relate, a place I understand more then the grown up world. Please keep me in your prayers! My next journey in life will not have much glitter, glue, paint or paper. But, I will have the Lord and the opportunity to someday return to creating and blogging.
Much thanks and love
Marie

HAPPY TRICK OR TREAT

A PUMPKIN VIGNETTE I DID FOR MY FALL DECORATING. I USED PHOTOBUCKET TO ALTER THE PICTURE. NOT SO SHABBY! THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS FOR ALTERING AT PHOTOBUCKET .I DID THIS AS A FREE ACCOUNT HOLDER. HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!! ENJOY THE FESTIVE FUN, BE SURE AND VISIT BEVERLY AT HOW SWEET THE SOUND. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SEE THE OTHERS THAT SHARE PINK.

MOSAIC TABLE

good day to all my friends at PINK SATURDAY! it's been a long time since i joined in on pink saturday and a month since my last post. changes are all around me some good some that just must be for now. none the less i'm here to have a little PINK twink and i must say i need it and it's long over due. 

the 16th & 17th (last weekend) we had a yard sale here at 49 stratford drive. lots of STUFF from back in the day. the HIS, HERS & OURS collection. we're a blended family, so there is STUFF, stuffed every where. i also had my inventory from the booth space i closed down last month. i NEED to get RID of STUFF!! the yard sale helped. some things will be donated to the church and some things went to the curb for trash pick up.

i do have some pink left overs! (that's something like t'giving left overs only better 'cause of the PINK)

today i'm sharing my vintage ice cream parlor chairs and table. i waved my mosaic tile cutters over the table top and this is what appeared. she was suppose to find her way to my booth but, just didn't make it. LOTS of vintage pink broken china for you all to love. so love away. i didn't cover the chairs. i do plan on it. this set did NOT sell at the yard sale. It was very LOVED by the "SALE-erS". maybe it was price tag shock. this set is still available should anyone take an interest in it. i think i'll list it on etsy, or maybe leave it open for

disscussion via e-mail. enjoy and have a blessed day. until the next time. please be sure to visit beverly at how sweet the sound and all the other pretty pink petals that post.
