desk cleaning day

 after cleaning some of my ink pens

it was time to clean the desk

 cleaning or clearing?

doesn't look like either

but it is

oh, so magical!

this is a tower of

desk overflow

it too captures

the magic that

can

&

often is

created in this space!

what I created yesterday?

happy birthday 

cootie catchers!

"she's just a creative type girl"

Harper Elizabeth

this Angelgirl made me a grandmother (BB) for the first time

from the moment she came into this world

she captured our hearts

she added the magic & wonder of a child truly blessed

with loving, brave & devoted parents

with beauty, kindness, and an imagination 

on this mother's day 

she is performing in
Vicenza, Italy 

 her first musical - The Little Mermaid

the youngest of a cast of 8 - 18 yrs olds

added to her charm

she has confidence & talent for the arts

singing her way through each day 

spreading joy wherever she goes

in song & words

how I love her

she is so much like her mothermydaughter

& on this day I send my love to them

(& the three other Angelgirls!)

BB

there are no words

 to describe the magic that exploded 

in my office

with the arrival of my Lil Cuz

we took our childhood portraits

(which my Daddy took)

& well, we brought them out of

lonely storage & made them

happy, creative & magical!

just like us!

we're the best &

modest too.

~~~~~~~~~

Lord, help me be

the kind of person

my dog

thinks I am.

Happy #6 Birthday

to

Sadie Caroline

this is one of my favorite pictures of her

sharing the 4th of July at  Ft. Benning, GA

while her brave Daddy was deployed

what fun we had that summer
