Its me, just checking in to say...that I've had the most wonderful birthdays by far...not a cloud in the sky but the humidity was a tad high...when I awoke this morning I felt okay with turning another year older...I've accomplished a lot in my 49 years and I see myself accomplishing a lot more in another forty....to think that this little gal from Newark, New Jersey has come this far...I don' t have a degree, no fancy job, or a full breed pedigree...but what I do have is lots of love ones who care about me and many many dear friend
s who truly care about me...God has bless me with so many special people in my life that this alone can be so rewarding....so I say "Thank You God" for bringing me this far...and to know that He will be with me for the rest of my long journey in life .......
There's still one more entry I have to do today...and that is to pick a winner for my give away!....so I will be back in a flash or two or three but definitely before 11:30 ....

I'll be back....

Timmmmeee - It's On My Mind - Yesss It Is...

Does anyone have the time....but I ask - is it the right time for me....when we sit and type our entries into our blOZs...it could be 8:00 pm est...but when YOU out there in blOZ land enter into my small part of this land - it could be 6:00 am cst....so what time is the right time? I ask...
I think that any time we have the moment to tell someone that we love them is the right time....or when we see a star twinkle in the night & we make a wish that to can be the right time...or when we savor that favorite flavor of ice cream on a hot summer's day that to can be the right time for me....it doesn't always matter whether the little or big hands are on one of the 12 numbers on the face of a clock - its matters how we feel when the time is right...so don't sit on the side & let time go by....take those right times & store them in the hour glass of life & remember like the light of day we too take time for granted.....don't let it slip away....make each day be filled with many moments of the right time...
Have a honey of a night - sweet dreams!

The days begin to shorten while the nights arrival a little earlier, and things begin to show their shadows as the sun goes down....as I sit here by my computer & type this entry - I look outside to complete and total darkness - not one flicker of light, just me and my computer's glow...could there be some one out there looking at me....what do they see....do they wonder what I may be doing sitting at my make shift desk or are they wondering if I can see them....

As I sit & ponder & type away at my old Dell...I realize how precious our time is on this earth...how it could be here one moment and gone in a flash...just like the light of the day - that I take for granted....sometimes I forget with that light comes darkness...but I have FAITH that tomorrow brings more light to my life - & so I should treat this blessing like a precious stone & remember that its worth all its weight in gold & more...here's to all the sunrises & sunsets that bring a golden glow to your day, & all the seconds, minutes & moments in between them...may you not waste one ounce of gold that is given to you...treasure them & lock them away in our memories for when time becomes dark...





Have a honey of a night - sweet dreams!

A Bizzy Bee Creating...How Sweet It Is...

I so love creating....and I've been doing so much more of it, since I started blOZging - it seems as though blOZging has stir up the creative juices in me....I can remember way back when - when I was in Kindergarten making all kinds of things...I actually made a painting/picture/etching in class - that my Kindergarten teacher Mrs. M, had it framed - to give it to me as a gift, if I ever got married (Mrs. M was a good friend of our family) - well I haven't gotten married yet (there's still hope) and Mrs. M has passed away...so I'll never see it again, but I have a picture of it in my memory & to think someone thought my work was great enough even to frame and she was a grown up at that - way to cool...so that was the beginning of my creative journey of art in my life...



I have had my lows & highs with creating, and sometimes I put it on the back burner - due to things that are happening in my life - but low and behold I always go back to it...it a magnetic that never loses its strength......so on that note here are a few of the things that I have been creating for different swaps - please take a look at my creations - but I know for sure there will be lots more...especially since I signed up for more swaps....leave a comment or two of what you think of them...and don't forget to add your picture to my followers list & when you leave a comment its enter into the give away jar for a winner to be pull on Monday the 17th - I will show the items that will be in my give away this weekend....and if you're keeping score this post makes number 6...



Well I'm off to create some more...

Peace 2"U" all
