hard to keep up!

this blogging thing just may be too much for me!
i  do not seem to have the time to stop and blog on a regular basis :(
and
i have not put any time into promoting this blog or getting the word out which tells me
it is not much of a priority in my life right now.
 beleive me - i had good intentions :)

but, truth be told...

i would prefer
 sewing,
creating treasures with beading, fabrics, clay...
 studing god's word,
 listening to music,
 going to lunch or breakfast with my girlfriends,
gardening,
spending time with my family,
cooking,
decorating my house (i LoVe making my house a home!)
 and
 especially spoiling my husband and bella, the dog.

 i love that part of my life!

sitting at my laptop typing - not so much!
 i tried!
 if you want to follow me - i welcome you! but set your expectations low!
i will come and go from here and will probably never be consistent.
guess i am just not that kind of girl!

hugs to my followers :)

Spring in Atlanta!

i LoVe wisteria! this was planted 2 years ago and it just  gets bigger and bigger! seems like it just bloomed overnight. so pretty! more spring flowers to come...
