NLWM 2013

So many letters this month. April is National Letter Writing Month and I have had a very fun mail box. Here are just a few of the photos I have taken. One photo is a repeat but I wanted to add it to the mix.

big group of beautiful mail

first I started stringing them but I got to many cards to string.

these photos are cards I made. One is an amped up

photograph of my slippers that I made into postcards and

 the second is a very involved 

collage card of a photo of a fabric wall hanging 

I did of our little travel trailer.

These are the three cards I got today and they had tea bags in them...

Ananda Tulip Garden

Wow, yesterday was a beauty filled day. Great flowers, great food, and new friends. I went to the Ananda Tulip Garden with Roadrunner's travel club. We were lucky to have sun, even thought we had some wind , the wind held off until we were out of the gardens and off to lunch. I had a gluten free basil, pesto noodle dish along with lentils and salad. I talked to some wonderful ladies and took some pretty good photos.

A GREAT WAY TO SPEND A DAY.

A Friday of food, flowers and mail

Today was a food day. What that means around here is that we pick up food from all the grocery stores around town and deliver it to the food bank. It stopped raining so we had a fairly easy pick up and delivery. Joe has been doing this for 2 years and I have started helping about 6 months ago. Through rain and sleet and snow we get food for the food bank to pass out to the needy in the area.

While the guys were unloading the food I saw some beautiful flowers at the end of the driveway.

Today was a great day in my mailbox. The 5th day of NLWM and cards in the mail. 

I strung the cards up on ribbon to hang by our entry hall. 

Thanks to give 2011

Thanksgiving and I am thankful for the people that love me and the home my husband has built us. I am thankful for the challenges that teach me how to be a better person. We have many blessings and I try to remember them each day.

wheat weavings waiting to be made

I have been thinking of wheat weavings for some time now. I found wheat stalks at the store that I can use and I found a book that reminds me how to make them. In the 1980's I made quite a few wheat weavings and sold them at a crafts fair. Now I have to rig up a way to soak the stalks because they are so long. I have a little heart I have made to see if I can remember anything, I think it came out good so I am on my way.

book read

Vampires and Witches and demons....France, Oxford Manuscript, Time travel

Spring has sprung and the rain is at bay,

Flowers are poking their heads out to play,

Jays fly and squawk in sunshine rays,

And hearts find love hoping spring will stay.
