rainbows and wonder






this was the rainbow c and i saw while out running errands yesterday. neither of us had ever seen a complet rainbow before, and a double rainbow! if you look hard at the pictures you can see it. the cell phone camera did not capture even a fraction of the beauty. this is why i try to carry my digital camera with me where ever i go, but the battery was dead. you just never know when something marvelous and breath taking will happen!

been gone a long time




i think i have the winter blahs. and i have been traveling so i have not been able to make a date with my creative muse. the weather bounces back and forth between frigid cold and crazy warmth. it makes it hard to know what season to adjust too. but, today it is all about the winter wonderland. i have not really had the desire to create (due to family responsibilities, travel and just plain old blahs), but this winter scene outside my bedroom window makes me think of snow queen dolls, blue and gray and white polymer clay beads and dazzling sparkling crystals for a necklace. i think i will just snuggle up with a great art/craft magazine, a cup of tea and a warm blanket and just watch the snow lazily fall from the silver clouds above. the sun is setting, deer are scampering across the back yard and i have the house to myself. almost a perfect day. and the hubby will be home later so maybe i have time for a hot bath with my chocolate bubble bath (which is one of my favs!) and get snuggled down for the night. a marvelous day. i even got some housework done too. can it get any better than that? i don't think so!
