The Simple things
Lately it's been thos most simple things that make me happy. A perfectly sweetened cup of coffee, a warm pair of socks, my new keyboard, yogurt dip (in a wrap) and smiles from my kids.
I find when I am having a lot of stress and trouble dealing with the kids if I concentrate on the things I'm thankful for and the little things that make me happy, I can't help but start to feel better.
I'm going to start a watercolor painting today- I've decided to start some momentum and just get to it. I think we'll start off with a flower or perhaps a portrait of my dog??? I've already purchased a brand new paint brush (another thing that makes me happy) so I'm ready to rumble as soon as I get my paper and paint out.
I'll post pictures of my progress...
Until then...

It is nice when the simple things make you happy. I love loading film in to my camera and thinking about the possibilities. I like waking up naturally on a Sunday morning... no alarm ringing in my ear. And I love love love office supplies and craft supplies even if I don't have plans for them.

OMG i'm so with you on the supplies. I love buying art supplies, like new paint and brushes even if they are only going to be added to my collection. Most times they inspire me to get my stuff out and start creating. isn't it wonderful!?!

I buy my beads like that. Even though I may not use them RIGHT THIS MINUTE you never know when a stroke of creativity will hit!
So I'm not the only hoarder out there ;)
