things i'm lovin' this week
+ this fabulous lamp with a french script lampshade. found out they carry it at marshall's (there's one right down the road from me) and tj maxx. i know where i'm goin' later today lol! + this book i found today on amazon. what a perfect title: A Perfectly Kept House Is the Sign of a Misspent Life: Creative Ideas and Real-life Tips for Making Your Home Lived-in, Warm, Welcoming and One-of-A-Kind ... Worrying About Everything Being Just Right!)
+ these creative re-purposed organizers. totally right up my alley (see previous book link lol!)
+ this song from plumb. it's a remixed version of an older song of hers. i love the new version even more!!
+ and finally, my new blog community/forum over at blogfrog. you gotta go check it out and join! you can even join using your facebook login so there's no new username/password to have to remember (bonus!) i'll be using it instead of my ning site from now on since ning will start charging later this month. blogfrog is so simple compared to ning and i really like it better since it focuses more on building communities around existing blogs. it's a great place for my blog buddies to interact with each other, ask questions, and make new friends. after you join, your latest blog posts and twitter posts will be displayed in my community...another great way to connect with each other. :) please feel free to start a discussion when you have a question for me, advice you'd like to share, or stories related to your creative journeys. you can also sign up for daily email updates from the community too so you'll never be out of the loop when there's new activity.
well, i'd better get a move on. lots to do today and time is slipping away quickly for me these days. i'd love it if y'all would share some of your favorite things with me this week.....either here on this post or over at my new community. :D
blessings & hugs, paulette
Mini art jewels in progress
I've been wanting to create art jewelry again for a while now and have been busy researching and experimenting to find the way I like best and I think I've finally got it all figured out. Yea! These are a few test pieces I worked on yesterday that turned out (not gonna show you the ones that didn't lol!) that I'm planning on gifting. I've got more glass on it's way to me (bigger and handmade) that I will be using to create art pendants for sale. Art isn't just for your walls ya know. ;)
Music Love :: Better Than A Hallelujah - Amy Grant
beautiful imagery paired with this amazing song by Amy Grant. i'll be singing this during our church service tomorrow. praying my nerves don't get the best of me. it'll be my 2nd solo at church and it's been something like 12 years since i've sang by myself in front of people. used to do it all the time when i was kid...funny how things change. lol! :D
