I love making wreaths for Christmas and the winter holiday season. For me it’s rather relaxing and it taps into the creative side of my brain. So this week in pins, I thought I’d do two things: (1) show off a few of the great wreaths I found on Pinterest; and (2) show you how easy it is to make your own wreath! First up are a couple of wreaths I found – yes, on Pinterest – but more importantly, they are also on Esty and are available for purchase. This lime green feather wreath with red ball ornament details […]
My Week in Pins – Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a day to give THANKS and this holiday season, I have a lot for which to be thankful! But that’s another post for another day, so I’ll just share with you my week in pins, which this week is all about Thanksgiving! [Sorry this post is a day late, but better late than never!] All photos come from Pinterest, but I have named the original source if one was listed. Who doesn’t enjoy the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special every year, am I right? And I love the family dynamics in the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting. I always think that […]
My Week in Pins – Landscapes
I’ve had a rather busy week and I was pinning the other night thinking that I could use one of those O, Oprah Magazine “Breathing Space” moments. You know what I’m talking about, right? She prints a beautiful two-page photo and encourages her readers to use the photo as inspiration to a moment to reflect and relax… to use it as a “breathing space.” So this week in pins, I decided to share some beautiful “breathing space” moments for you to take a few moments from your busy day and try to de-stress… breathe in and breathe out… relax and enjoy! Note: […]
My Week in Pins – Odd Couples
This week in “My Week in Pins”, which is a day late (sorry about that), I decided to showcase some really cute “odd animal couples”. So enjoy! [All pins are taken from Pinterest, but I do name the original source.] These donkeys remind me of the ones that roam my future retirement land in Colorado. Love their cooky smiles! These two friends understand the joys of sharing! You can just see and feel the love between these two beautiful dogs. I love seeing teamwork between these two pandas. Who says dogs and cats can’t get along! My dad has four […]
Strive to Become a Highly Effective Person
I was perusing Pinterest last night and I came across this pin (by a guy named Marc.) It was a tribute to Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I didn’t realize Dr. Covey had passed away this past summer. He was born on October 24, 1932 and died on July 16, 2012. He was a businessman, educator, author, and motivational speaker. He empowered greatness in hundreds of thousands of people through his books and seminars. I have been feeling empowered, of sorts, every since I got a new job over three weeks ago. So […]
