A Granny-Squarin’ Fool!
Good evening! I almost forgot to blog tonight – EEK!! That would have messed up my goal of posting 365 days in a row. My sister, Alice, taught me how to crochet granny squares this past week, and I have been a granny-sqaurin’ fool ever …

The Ya-Ya Sisterhood!
Good evening!
I just got up to my art studio, and turned on the tele for some background noise, and what did I happily see was playing? One of my favorite movies, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I just LOVE this movie, as well as this same story is my absolute FAVORITE book, which is saying a lot since I so have so many favorites.
I think my draw to this movie is that I have always dreamed of having a small intimate group of women who all share their lives with each other. A band of sisters who are there for each other through thick and thin! Now that I have re-read this sentence after writing this, I realize that I kind of do have this little sisterhood in my own life, we just live kind of far from each other! But, just knowing that I have got my own sisters out there, it makes me realize how much more special I think this movie is.
Besides the sisterhood itself, I think my favorite part of this movie is the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Ya-Ya Sisterhood ceremonies, with it’s candlelight and self-made crowns. I can just imagine the girls sitting in a circle, the air crackling with positive energy and hope, I can hear the giggling as Vivi tries to keep them all in character, in her dramatic way – of course I would be Vivi in this scene. But of course, DAHLING!! 😉
Anyway, I digress! 🙂 I wanted to tell you about my day today. I went to work, as usual, but then I had a doctors appointment this afternoon. I have a really hard time going to the doctors. I feel like I am just complaining when I go, because I know there are people out there who have much larger problems then I do! I want to just skim over whatever is going on with myself, which usually means I don’t say what is the real reason I came into the office.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Is it just me??
And it isn’t my doctor – I LOVE my doctor!! She is one of those people who has the BEST kind of bedside manner, and she doesn’t mind explaining things over and over for you, or answering all of my questions. So what is the big deal?? I would love to hear your experiences with your physician!!
Anyway, I know this is kind of a jumpy posting tonight, but I am so tired! I feel like I am recouping from jet-lag from our vacation these past 2 weeks, so I will have to ask for your forgiveness!! I am going to go spend some more time cleaning up my art studio – slow and steady wins the race!!
Have a FABULOUS evening!
Getting Down & Dirty!

Taking a Moment to Catch Up!
Good evening! Tonight is the last night of our two week vacation! Jason and I are both going back to work tomorrow. Normally I would be a little bummed about it, but to be honest with you, I have been going a little stir-crazy, and …
A Relaxing Saturday!
Good evening!
I am having a very relaxing Saturday at home with my sweetie! I wanted to share some more pics from my weekend with my sisters with you this evening!
I found these two FABULOUS vintage train cases, that looking at them now, I am sick to myself that I did not pick these up! I may just have to call my sissy, and ask her to pick them up for me!! HEE! HEE! 😉
There was also this little chi-chi red and white striped purse. Can you say A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E?????
I also love these little goblets. I am not sure if it is the cut of them, the fact that they are nice and heavy, or if it is just the scrumptious blue!!! I LOVE these!!
These pictures were right up my alley!! Pic 1!
Pic 2!! 😉
This is my dream vanity!! I have always dreamed about having a sexy place to get all dressed up!! DREAMY! 😉
These boxes of music rolls were so interesting! At first glance it reminded me of Olivander’s shop in Harry Potter! 😉 But I just love decorating with these kind of historical trinkets that are just GREAT conversation starters!!
Alright, I am going to call it quits for this night and spend some more quiet time with my sweetie and the girls!!
Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
Sister-Time!
Good evening! I got to spend the past few days with my sisters and I got to spend a little more time with my sister, Alice, than I normally do, which was a very nice change! Alice is my third sister (3 of 5 sisters). …
