Sunday rolled around way too fast!

I'm still smiling though!!  After the Insanely Busy week of designing I had last week, I was so ready for this weekend to get here!  I was also very excited because my oldest daughter was coming home from Purdue for a visit Friday night on her way to an out of town wedding on Saturday.   It was Absolutely Fabulous to get to spend some time with her.  When her and I are together we Love to cook!!  So we hopped in the car and made a quick trip to the Kroger just down the street to pick up a few things.  Headed back home and the cooking, cutting, chopping, stirring, sauteing, frying and grilling began!!  We talked and laughed and had a fantastic meal together!!  What an absolutely wonderful young woman she has grown into!!  I'm really having a hard time believing that she will be celebrating her 21st Birthday next week!!  My first baby girl is all grown up!!!  And I couldn't be prouder of her!!! I am truly Blessed to have her, to be her "Mama" and to have all the wonderful memories of days gone by and I look forward to all the future memories we will make, share and cherish together forever!! 


It's been a pretty great weekend!!  With some much needed rest!  A fabulous bicycle ride around downtown Indianapolis this morning and now I'm getting geared up to get back to work!!  I have some pretty awesome projects to work on this week!!  I can't wait to see what I come up with!!!

Have a Terrific Sunday!!  and as always....

Smile and Love with your whole heart and you'll glow from the inside out!

A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE BOX :

1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A MARK.
2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES YOU MAKE.
3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU.
4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL SHARPENINGS, WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.
5.) TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE HELD AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS YOU.

We all need to be constantly sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique God-given talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what's inside of you.

 As stated above... Always remember the most important part of who you are is inside of you.

Wishing you all a Beautiful Sunday.... and as always...

Smile and Love with your whole heart and you'll glow from the inside out!
