I'm Home

Oh.....I'm home. It feels soooo good to unpack all my stuff and be surrounded by my very own things. Am I wrong to think that? I mean, "stuff" is so materialistic and considering the entire world into the big picture...is it wrong to be appreciative of those materialized things?

Officially, I have christened my new home with the best dirty martini ever! My daughter and I have toasted to good times and good health.

Can you tell I have downed one martini!??!!!

I think you're owed a martini or two or three. Yes, I bow to the materialistic pleasures surrounding me. The are iconic symbols that I have lived. My treasured memories will be passed onto my child and grandchildren, just as many were inherited from my ancestors. They are who we are and there is no shame in our appreciation and comfort of them. I recall admiring the many collections of precious items carefully displayed in curio cabinets in your previous home. You have an innate sense of comfort and style - no doubt your new home will be just as warm and inviting.

Yes, you deserve a martini. Congrats on your new home, Deb!

Okay, okay - I officially like you. Just found your blog after a comment you left on mine, am scrolling through and reading... need to head to bed but I'm procrastinating as usual and came across the dirty martini comment. Any woman who likes dirty martinis - I like. I'm simple that way.

I am commiserating with you while reading about the unpacking bit. Gah. We moved here last January and I still don't have all of my pictures up on the wall and there are still boxes in the attic that I need to get down and organize in the office. It's so hard to just jump in there and get it done though, I always find an excuse.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

It is April of  2019. The year that marks my 65th trip around the sun.  Somehow, I always knew that I would make this landmark. There was never a doubt in my mind. The first 65 years have been trouble free. Moderate medical issues. One simple surgery in 2017.  This year will also mark 47 years of marriage to one man. Give me a standing O now, please! It’s incredible to recognize that I’ve know this man for almost 50 years. I don’t regret one single day. Not one.  Sure, there have been times that were filled with questions and struggles. But there have been so many more days that we’re fun filled, raising our two perfect children, living the life of suburbia, two working parents doing their best. Usually, I like to make a big deal about my birthdays. Especially after the surprise party when I was seven years old.  See, my parents were getting divorced at the time of my 7th birthday, Enter my Uncle Frank and Aunt Evelyn to the rescue.  Major distraction to get me out of

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would
