Those wonderful needlepoint pillows that remind us of 
When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today.
O bed! O bed! delicious bed!That heaven upon earth to the weary head.~
And last but not least.... Shall we not forget the most precious of all PILLOWS.....
The first treasure that caught my attention.... 
One of the outdoor exhibits... 
Hmmmm...... I think this might make a beautiful wedding gift!
As you step into the market this is what you first see..... 
The next few pictures came from a 
The Cottage Farm Chic was INCREDIBLE!
I don't know what it is that attracts me to Bottle Trees, but, my goodness I love them! I worked with stained glass for years, so maybe it is the color of the bottles. Or maybe it is the sun glistening off of the glass? After I think about it, they have to scare off my lovely birds, but I don't care! I love a beautiful Bottle Tree! Just look at this one~ I have to wonder where all of these beautiful bottles and vases came from... They look really old! Maybe from an old WESTERN TOWN where Billy the Kid once visited. Maybe that's what I like about a Bottle Tree, they help my imagination just float off into the breeze (not that it needs to much help)!
Have you ever said something or done something really stupid and wish you hadn't? You wanted to apologize and just get it over with? Here it is the perfect way to do it. No matter who the "VICTIM" (your own child, husband, relative, or friend) is, this is the sure cure! Give them a pack of "AirHeads" with a note attached saying Sometimes I just feel like an Airhead! I am Sorry! You know they just have to laugh at that point! Who could be mad? They say that
Do you have a ROAD TRIP that you can't wait to take? Well.... I have a trip from Atlanta to St. George Island, all back roads, that I love it! The camera sits by my side waiting for those moments that my car has to come to a stop and get that special picture. You never know what it might be, some child sitting on a railroad track across a creek fishing, longhorn bulls in a old cribshack with their heads out the window or simply a beautiful arrangement of clouds across the wheat fields. You are thankful for the zoom because without it you could not get that great picture without trespassing. Or maybe with that zoom we are trespassing..... Who knows??? But to capture that wonderful moment and take it home with us! For me the picture of this old car is the definition of "bliss". Bliss~ complete happiness!

Chase and Daniel grew up together like brothers,
This is the Valentine that I gave my Sweetheart last year! It is an Altered Art Trading Card. To make it, I scanned one of my vintage bingo cards and made it into a smaller scale to fit onto my ATC (altered art trading card). I then copied it onto a khaki colored paper, cut and sanded the sides and then I inked the sides to make it look even older. I then took two old pictures of us growing up dressed as sailors which was a perfect fit together (how amazing that we were always a perfect fit together). I ran them through photoshop to scale them to size and clean them up. I then copied them to a matte photo paper and then cut them out just like you would a paper doll. I decided to use Pop dots to make the photos pop up. I then made a ticket that said, "You won my Heart" on my computer using printshop. I attached the ticket and the jewels. Used a little more inking for aging and put an eyelet in the side to add some more bling. Before I added the bling, I decided to coat the card with a coat of beeswax for more aging. I allowed some of the beeswax to bead for effects. For more color I wanted to use red beads, heart and dice to finish off my project! To say the least ~ Reid loved it! But being Reid~ He loves everything I do! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Valentine!
I am so excited!!! The Inspired Room is hosting 12 months of Goals for a more Beautiful Life! It is a year program of creating a more beautiful life for yourself with the help of others and it sounds like so much fun. Just to give you a hint ~ January's word is Balanced Living.... You have to decide what that means to you and how that can help you and post it. I started my own personal journal today!
