happy friday....  my friends.

i found these fabulous river rocks at michaels the other day.  a nice bag full of assorted river rocks for $2.00.

yay.... 

mouse over to see the before image...  i used several new textures that i created to complete a subtle background and add some depth to the image.

i have so many things i am bursting to share. i whole lot of blessings to acknowledge. wow...it's been a fabulous few months.

back to post and share soon..... ♥kim

p.s. ladies, if you are hunting for the river rocks in michaels, they are in mesh bags and come in 2 different sizes...this one and some smaller ones in lovely earth tones. i found them amongst the floral supplies.

completely fab... maybe i should take a pic tomorrow the smaller ones next.

a little love...  ♥ kim

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were all born to manifest the glory of God within us.

It’s not just some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson

frosty love ~ before & after fun

happiest monday evening.

i am madly creating some textures of my own.
wow, it's been a ton of fun! and loads of work...

and i'm so excited about sharing them soon.

in the meantime, i thought i would share some

before and afters with you.

mouse over to see the before...

on the home front...
....

john is away and apprently that means
dishes aren't getting done as often
laundry is sitting on the table
bed is unmade
no milk in the fridge

oops...apparently he motivates me in those areas
or
is it that he does so much?

i just walked into the kitchen to see the dishes piled up
and thought, wow, kim...you might wanna get on that...or at least get one of the boys on that.

....

happy monday... ♥kim

oh my, just had to share

happy saturday my friends.

so, we may not have spring yet.

and it's going to be a long while before we do.

sigh....

but wow, what a gift this week has been.  such beautiful frostiness. 
and today was extra special.

john is away for 10 days on vacation....
it'll be so nice when we can both vacation together.
but right now, i wouldn't dare leave my boys at home alone.
and andy would be completely against the idea too. :)

so i'm afraid we won't be out scouting abandoned buildings for a few weeks. 

and, i'm way too chicken to go on my own.

but that's okay.
because this frosty goodness is everywhere.
and it seemed to be extra special on the trail today.

andy and i spent about an hour and a half, just out walking thru the trail.

taking pic after pic...

i was actually over heating with just a hoodie on. 

Yay....

such a wonderful feeling...

so happy i was able to steal some time just to soak up the warmth and let go of the worries...

even for just a little while.

john, i miss you already.  as i type this you are probably landing in chicago.

hope it's going well.

.......

no one has washed the dishes yet.  who's going to empty the recycling?

who's going to get the boys to take their laundry up?

wow, you do so much...

......

have a fabulous weekend my friends.... xxo, kim ♥

......

p.s. good news though... bryce is cooking dinner... woo hoo.. :)
