{waiting for spring}

Hello there:)

Happy Sunday to you!!!

I don't know about you.....but I have

SPRING FEVER

like crazy:) Being cooped up all winter long is just more than I can handle!

So decided to buy myself a sweet little hyacinth plant!

I'm telling you...that's the best $4.00 a person could spend:)

Sometimes in life it's the littlest of things that bring so much joy.

anywho....

since I bought my fancy camera i've been trying to practice with it.

At first I told myself I'd practice taking photographs everyday....but it's turned out to be more like 2 or 3 times a week:)

Photography is such an art and I really admire the bloggers that take such wonderful photographs....maybe someday i'll get there...maybe not. But for today i'm at least going to enjoy the journey! Enjoy learning something new.

Don't be too harsh...I know I have a long way to go in my photography...but the important thing is to try:)

As for spring....

I just can't wait to get my hands into the dirt!

I can't think of anything I like better than to have dirty hands:)

Maybe that's why I enjoy creating jewelry so much.....my hands are never nice and clean:)

I tell you....

living in the Midwest sure teaches you a lot about having patience:)

and having patience is just something i've never been good at.

this morning....

instead of being grouchy about how cold it was outside.....

I decided to load up the girls and go for a little drive:)

with the windows down and the heat on full blast!

It felt kind of invigorating

and sure made me happy!!!!

I snapped some photos and just enjoyed the sweet beauty of the morning!

Even though it's not spring ...yet....

I enjoyed the sunshine imparting it's beauty of the frosty plants!!

 Enjoying the simple things in life really is where life is best.

at least in my opinion:)

Some people enjoy fancy homes...and fancy cars....

fancy clothes with all the best names....

Nothing wrong with that!

it's just not for me:)

Give me an old rusty truck and nature

and I am in bliss:)

Maybe that's why i've had my truck for over 7 years:)

Who needs something new...I plan to keep for many more years too!

Living a life uncomplicated is where it's at.

Finding beauty in the simple things in life....

Pairing down your life so that you can really live the life you want to live.....

now that's where it's at:)

Here's the quote that's really been inspring me lately.

How true is that!





Sometimes it's hard to not let the what you want now get in the way of what you really want.

What are your hopes and dreams...

What kind of life do you truly want to live...

Are you moving in that direction ....are you making choices based on that....

or are you trading your dreams for what you want right now??!?!

Now don't get me wrong.....

sometimes it's more important to just live in the moment!

Sometimes pizza and wine is just more important that my overall goal of losing a few lbs:)

It's just good to know ...deep inside...what and why your choosing what you are:)

Only you can make the choices that make your heart and soul sing!



Ok...well there you have it....

A little sharing of my photography journey

and a sprinkling of where i'm at in my following my hopes and dreams journey:)

.....Happy Sunday Friends.....

I'm off to unload the kiln with some happy new creations while my husband lays the ceramic tiles in our kitchen!

The sun in shining and life is good today:)
