three little words....

I haven't floated away...

as you can probably guess, I'm just swimming in paint....

life. is. good.

I'll be caught up soon...then I'll be back, with a bang!

My Bella Inspirations Table Runner...

Did you see I was the winner of Sherrys' ~ Miss No Minimalist Here ~ giveaway last week?

I won a French burlap table runner from Laurie of Bella Inspirations...

and it came today.....!!!

It is GORGEOUS!!
I think it was made just for my granite island....


in my french kitchen...


I love how it warms up the granite...and adds more all-natural beauty...
Check out Laurie's etsy shop here...

A BIG THANK YOU TO SHERRY & LAURIE

XO XO!!

Anticipation....

Sometimes a song comes on the radio and it's as if they're playing it
just for you

last night...
driving home from Hannah's lacrosse game,
just me and Carly Simon...
"We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway, yay
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasin' after some finer day"

and my mind is racing...
so excited for friday when Mike get's home...
(he's out of town again!)
can't wait for summer when it's hazy, hot and humid....

(oh I love summer!)

and Carly's still singing....
"Anticipation, anticipation
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'"

and I'm still dreaming along......

so looking foward to vaction...visiting family in Iowa and Virginia Beach!!
(woohoo!!)

soon I'll be 'three days ahead' instead of 'two days behind' on my work....

(yippeee!!)

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
And stay right here 'cause these are the good old days
these are the good old days
these are the good old days

And *snap*!

Yes, these are the good old days, right here, right now....enjoying what I've got, what I've acheived already,

stopping and smelling the roses!

I've been painting from sun up till sun down lately!

here's just a few of the signs...

Life is good...thanks Carly...these really are the good old days!!
