Just when you get relaxed and settled into the weekend....Monday morning slaps you in the face....UGH!

This is the beginnings of a page I'm working on..not quite done yet because Monday morning interrupted and came too quickly...UGH!

Enjoy your day everyone.

Until next time,

Letting them GO.....

I am certain this has been said before...but honest, where does the time go? I can't believe that its that time for me...though.
On Tuesday, I registered my daughter for Kindergarten....I CAN'T Believe it myself!!!
And, that 4 pounder that I had 10 years ago...will be heading off to MIDDLE SCHOOL! So, in the same day, I let them each go in different directions...Look out world! Talk about Bittersweet!

Its so hard to watch them grow and become their own. I remember being so sad realizing that they no longer needed me....to hold their heads anymore....or carry them because they learned to walk...simple things that are all a part of just letting them go...
And...the girl (our homerun hitter) will set this world on fire! She will kick down the doors of her elementary school and announce that she is here....while the boy will quietly take his place amongst his middle school peers and be brilliant in his own way...I am amazed at how different they truly are, and I'm so excited for who they will become.
Until next time,
Ophelia

More Photos..

Of my day at Jerry's. Thanks Christina for sending these to me!! First thing I thought as I saw these was that I REALLY needed to step away from the cheesecake...but, a good day was had by all!

This group was so much fun! Thanks girls for making this such an amazing day!

I just noticed that they all have matching shirts!!!!!

There is nothing more inspiring to me than art supplies.... play, play, play!!!

Hope you are encouraged to go and play...looking at these makes me want to go and play...unfortunately, time is not on my side this morning...

Until next time,

Ophelia

Searching.....

Lately, it seems that I have not been myself....just feeling BLAH...and not sure why. I'm not content at all with anything...just kind of going through the motions. My muse is so elusive lately...as though she knows something is going on as well. I head up to the studio daily, but nothing comes...I feel as though I'm searching for something, but I'm not sure of what...just kind of wandering through life these days and not feeling whole. I started this page, but not sure of what I want to do to finish it, so for now, she stays as she is...

Maybe I will get back to myself and get out of this creative funk soon.

Enjoy your day...

Until next time,

In Full Swing...

With Springtime, its baseball season here in our little corner of the world...and, this year, its even more hectic...


Meet our newest homerun hitter....

With her brother playing and she is too....we have been busy on fields all over.....
Have I mentioned, I'm not an outdoor kind of gal!
I will hopefully get back to the studio sometime this weekend and get to play...
Until next time,
Ophelia
