Thursday, March 31st
Well, it's the last day of March. I'm not sure if it came in like a lion or not, but I do know that today here in East Texas it is going out like a lamb. Now if we will only get those April showers next month, that will be a real blessing. The gardens here are so dry, but I have faith that the rain will come when it is needed most.
I have been feeling under the weather for a few months and I mention this only to alert everyone to something I have discovered. The day before New Year's I had the flu and some other complications. Since then it's been just one thing after the other and I haven't felt myself at all. Constant fatigue and just general feelings of being unwell as well as some medical concerns have been my companion since the beginning of 2011. Last week I went to the doctor and had even more test done. This time I think (hope and pray) that we have hit upon the cause of my problems. The blood test revealed that I am Vitamin D deficient. My doctor believes this deficiency may be the cause of all my troubles. The great thing is that Vitamin D suppliments are cheap and easy to take and the sunshine is free. You do have to request this test, but it's something to be aware of.
I was pleasantly surprised this morning when logging in to Etsy to discover one of my wreaths had been purchased. It was one of my favorites. (Seems I always think that when one sells. It's like sending my baby off to a new home. Yes, I am a bit crazy at times. ) I am hoping this Vitamin D therapy will renew my energy so I am able to create new wreaths again. Even doing that has been hard for me lately.
Wishing each and everyone a great day.
Remember...No one can make you feel bad unless you give them permission.

4:30 a.m. Sunday Morning Goings On
Good Morning! I woke this morning, hopped out of bed, and plugged in my glue gun to get started early. Ideas were popping like popcorn in my mind and I was eager to get them onto a wreath. Yesterday I painted a wreath with just a light dusting of cream paint hoping to create a shabby chic look. Later when a picture is posted you can decide if I achieved that look. At this point, I'm not so sure. The jury of my mind's eye is still out.

Spring is in the Air!
It's been a while since I have written. Well, OK, I'll be honest. It's been a long while since I've written here. I am determined to learn how to do this thing which is so foreign to me...this thing called BLOGGING! I've always had the idea that if it can be done, then I can do it! I will go with that notion now and do my best.
Spring is my favorite time of year. The baby greens are such a great expression of renewal and change. The one thing I've learned in this life is that the only thing I can depend on in life is that it will change. Just about the time I think I've got things all lined out...it changes. Sometimes I wonder if it's a test, to see if I can stay on my feet. Other times, I know that I am not nearly so important in the scheme of things. Change is just a part of the natural order of things and as change goes, Spring is a change I enjoy.
Easter is one of the 'big' event of spring for me and my family. Easter Sunday lunch will be enjoyed by about 15 family members at my house. It's a tradition I truly look forward to each year. I'll post the Easter Sunday menu later.
Spring is also a time to change that winter wreath you have on your front door. I've been busily creating new spring wreaths for my Etsy shop. I only wish I could work as fast as I can dream up ideas. Maybe one day, I will streamline the process a little more, but for now I just create at the pace I am comfortable with.
I plan on posting a DIY section soon with instructions and pictures.. (as soon as I get a little more comfortable with this Blogging process) so stay tuned.
