Words to Inspire

I just love it…came across this amongst my many decorations and added it to the tree….

Wings  - aren't they beautiful...

Been a While

......and I have been around, but not around. So I shall pop in when I can and drop a line or two, or visit a while and then drift away and show up maybe here, maybe there, on days........when the words are there.
Been slow on the photo's too, but spring is coming and, hopefully the creative flowers will bloom again.

Here's  one for fun.....

Happy week ahead full of smiles to you all.

With Intention

So, here we are. New Year, and I hope it will be a Happy and Prosperous one for you all.
I have not been around much of late as 1000% things have been on my plate, all good, but the wheels fell off with the blogging somewhat because of that. I have missed a few Shadow Shot Sundays (and you know how I love to play) and intend to remedy that. However, I am GRATEFUL  for busy and happy and sunshine and that I am LOVED and have all these good things that keep me busy and grateful too that I have a blog and blogs I love (Maxabella Loves)

For 2011 my resolution is to blog with intention: and yes there will be other resolutions which I will address in another blog and a bucket list and a few other things like a Keyword for the Week, one word, one action, but you have to strive to action that word.

Starting here this weeks word is:
BE             (just be, and let all else flow around you, accept (all good things), relax and BE.)

So, here is to the New Year - may all your dreams come true and may we be blessed with Happiness the whole year through.

Sorry we are late!

That seems to be my greeting recently.
 It has been so hectic around here and thank you to all my friends on land and "on-line" for their patience with me.
We have added a new family member (Boo Boo), I have started working and what started out as "looking for something mornings" has turned into something 4 days a week and more sometimes. The ironing is stacked high, like I hope Sant's presents will be, well actually I am hoping he will stay a while and send the "elves" to do it for me. (what do you think my chances are on that one?) AND it seems like everyone has been trying to fit everything into the first 2 weeks in December..........so actually life is NORMAL.
I am sure you are all in exactly the same boat as I am. However, I am grateful that I have so much going on in my life and for all that is good that is happening and I wish you all a HAPPY and FUN FILLED weekend ahead.

I am off tomorrow and heading for IKEA (hooray) love that place. See you on Sunday for SSS with Tracy.

SUNDAY & IT'S SHADOW TIME # 134

Been a crazy few weeks in my house how about yours?
Had a DT assignment to finish and managed to burn the midnight oil and get that done but only got to submit it this morning.   Now it's time to play over at Tracy's

So with all the rush, these are my shadows taken a few weeks ago but I am only using them now. That doesn't mean I am not seeing more shadows that I want to shoot, but I just haven't shot any in the last week or so.  ENJOY and play with us at Shadow Shot Sunday over at Tracy's

Shadow Shot Sunday #129

Go and have a look at the talented shadow shots for the week from all over the world and THANK YOU Tracy for including me in the mosaic for this week.

Here are my shots hope you like them including the ghostly figures!!!

ghostly figures on Halloween

                                                                         Ghosts among us

                                                                They followed us everywhere!

                                                                       Ghostly trees too

                                                                Aliens or cat on the roof

                                                      She follows watching over the children

Loop di Loo on Halloween

and the ghosts went with not wanting to be left out.....

So Halloween turned out better than I expected after all. We were invited to a Halloween party and all the kids got creative and looked fun-tastic.
Shadows from this for SSS (those of you who are following Shadow Shot Sunday) were brilliant. We walked for an hour and a half and were beat by the end but had loads of candy so the kids were happy and more was had back at the house from the pinata. Great job Elizabeth for all the hard work and decorating you did. We had a fun time.

Then home we went where late at night, my washing machine decided it was not being left out of this party, so  in the best of party spirits (I think there was more than washing soap in that load) it decided to hop, skip, jump, attempt to launch itself at different angles and make the most awful last sounds as it lurched, twisted and screeched across the floor.  POSSESSED.............

I raced into the laundry lept on top (oh yes! it was a sight to frighten any ghouls - me hanging off the washing machine - trying to stop the machine from damaging the walls - or me) by then, that was the only way to get to the off switch without becoming a statistic of and on Halloween and, just before it shuddered it's last breath I smelt the burning.
So with that, and the bits it left behind on the floor on it's journey - I am guessing, we have a serious problem.

I hope your Hallowed Eve was fun and you suffered no lasting damages.

Shadow Shot Sunday #128

This is a mix of pics for SSS. Who knew I could be so enthralled by shadows. The imagination is so open to play with all the shadows and what you may or may not see or imagine with them. Enjoy the game and go to Hey Harriet to have a look at THE SHADOWS.

These first few are new but I have added some of my favaourites from the last few weeks at the end as well.
