Life is a Box of Crayola Crayons & more!

"2009" a year that's brought me a Crayola Box of color that has brighten my life in many ways....this year began like any other year that has come and gone...but it had an added twist.....

At the end of last year, I venture over to Artsy Mama's blOZ and low & behold, I saw that she was hosting a "Year of Color" that would begin in January & you guess it end in December....after I read Kari's description of all the things that were going to go on in it - I said "go for it"....so I purchased my enrollment and couldn't wait to see what I was in store for...

I am soooo glad that I made that purchased....since January - Kari has brought many new things into my life - from learning new techniques, looking at things in a different way, to trying out things out of the ordinary for me, joining many swaps through it and the best part of it - is meeting all the lovely ladies that I've had the honor to swap with....their creativity just blows my mind away....the e-chatting with them late at night and going to their blOZ and seeing the way they see life - their journey....it truly amazes me that here I sit typing away to all of you out there in blOZ and you might be a 1000 miles away & see what my life is like here at the Jersey Shore... Kari showed me to step out of the box and become my OWN individual crayon...

But it doesn't end there - I said what the heck let me join another group and sure enough I joined the winter Bella group...where I met though commenting on Teresa McFayden's Group the lovely Lady Bug herself Ms. Geralyn...I can thank Geralyn for giving me that added push that I needed to start up my engines & get my blog rolling....now through this world of blogging I have met some wonderful women from Jersey to California to Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Maine, New York, the list goes on...and I know that I will meet a lot more....

Every time I click the enter button on the computer I venture to someone else blog, which might lead me into another lovely ladies' blog and so on...so what I'm leading up to is I've gone for the gold ring on the Carousal and registered for Silver Bella....to think that this Girl from Jersey is traveling the road to Bella Land where all the Glitz, Glitter and Gals are going to be - creating treasures and memories of a time they spent in Omaha Nebraska and these memories will include me...

So here's to more roads opening up for me to go and explore - ahhhhhh the possibilities are endless...here's to you opening up your box of crayons and discovering all the rainbows & pot of gold by just beginning with one crayon......

May your life be filled with many rainbows!

Grace & Peace 2 "U"
