Can you guess?
Stay Tuned to read about our
latest travel adventure!

Baby Doll Cradle Made New

Creating something new from something old 
is such fun!

We found this pine baby doll cradle at a resale shop.
My  daughter #1 paints some
lovely flowers on each end.
Mama Holli makes a mattress,
pillow and cover.
Just like new and ready for Gabby Goo
to tuck her baby dolls inside for nite nite!
Hopefully she won't try to put baby brother
in it instead!
She might try!

Flowers Please Stay!


School has started
The air has a different scent
The nights are cooler

I am not quite ready to surrender Summer
not ready to surrender the warm air
not ready to surrender the afternoon rain
not ready to surrender the flowers
oh how I Love my flowers

The Palette



What a beautiful vintage palette
from
 The Graphics Fairy! 

A
Palette
Is
A
Work
of
ART
all
by 
itself

I love to stare at my daughter's palette
while she works.
It tells a story.
It has a clear beginning and end.
The paint dances and swirls
on the hard surface
aiding to create the masterpiece.
Looking at her palette helps me
to peek into her mind.
To see the story unfold
even before
the 
paint
reaches the canvas.
