DAy 31 - All done!


The topic for today is "YOU again"




This was taken a few years ago at Disney world.

SO GLAD this is the last day of January. This month has been nothing but a pain. Here's to Feb 1st!!!

I think I am going to continue on with the challenge but will post once a week or so with the topics. I like having a topic to take a photo of and it is fun to come up with ideas.

"Something I made"



This would be my art journal that I cut pages for, made the covers and bound into a book. I would like to make more. This one is about half full of art.

The last 3 days...


Day 22 - "Your Shoes"



Well, up here we are wearing boots - so these are mine on my front porch. I am liking these new boots very much and my feet are nice and warm!

Day 23 - "Something old"



That could be a lot of things around my house. :0) but I saw this first. I got this online and it is the back of a vintage photo of a young girl with this on the back.

Day 24 - "Guilty Pleasure"


If you know me at all - you know the answer to that one! lol I got these today - little baby peanut butter cups. If I dont eat the whole bag as a snack (!!) I think these would be very good in brownies. mmm.

That would be the homemade maple syrup that my friend Carol makes so wonderfully!




On my breakfast waffles - yummm.

It will soon be time to start tapping again!

Can't wait - because that will mean that spring would be on its way. :)

"Something you're reading" Yeah, this isn't too hard. :)

Day 11 and 12


I was away for a couple days and just got home so I am posting now.

Day 11 was "Where I sleep"



I love my cozy mattress with huge down comforter this time of year. Beside the bed is an old school desk I have had for years with some treasures beside it including gifts, glass from Venice, and a rock from Squam that says "It's never too late". I see that each time I go to bed, so I can remember that. :)

Day 12 - "Close- up"



This is a detail of one of the postcards I send my daughter each week while she is in college.

I keep this photo beside my desk so I can glance any time...

Day 9


"Daily Routine"

Of course that would be my computer! This is my personalized igoogle page. The theme changes daily so I never know what it will look like. All of my sections stay however. I have weather, tv listings, news, artist of the day, places to travel and more!



This is yesterdays screen shot to give you an idea of what I mean.
