OK. So this blogging thing is harder than I thought. Not the blog part, but the commitment to regular posts. Let me just say kudos to all of those bloggers who stay consistent even when it's summer, and/or they have kids and their kid's friends running through all the time, or sitting on the deck with a fresh cocktail with mint and basil from your garden sound fabulous.

So to just get my toes wet a bit again here on my blog I will just let you know that I have been really enjoying summer. Well the summer part. The part with having a senior who's about to be 18 around, not so much. Funny how that is. Oh how I love that boy! I'm proud of him and to be honest, he is a LOT like me. He works real hard on his passion of making a junior hockey team to go on to possibly a division one team some day. We had a great time taking his senior pictures! Here is a glimpse of some of them! So handsome I think!

Well has you can imagine. This type of commitment takes a LOT of time! So much time that chores seem impossible! Of course as any good mother who wants her kids to grow up appreciative, responsible and independent adults, I stay on him daily to get these minimum requirement chores done. So of course.... I'm his favorite person!

I keep holding on to the thought that when he makes it BIG one day, that when they interview him on TV, the first person after God that he gives glory to, is thanks to me, his mom! (crossing my fingers.)

Well this seems more like venting than a creative blog entry, so let me switch gears.  Here are some photos of my garden treasures. Enjoy and I promise I will be back to keep you up to date on my yarn adventures as well as some of the other photography I've been doing!!

Well, against my better judgement (that controls my time investments), I am starting a blog. Mostly because I have all of these thoughts going on in my head. Ideas, quotes, images, thoughts, nothingness. Well where do I put it?

I have collected all kinds of lovely journals, handmade, store bought, expensive cheap. But I keep waiting for some golden image or moment to grace the pages with. Plus, it seems old school. Then there of course is facebook. But sometimes I just want to get something out into the universe but not specifically to facebook. Mostly I have my facebook so I can snoop (or as my kids say, creep) on their facebook pages and post bragging pictures about them. It is nice to have connected with some old friends though! But nah. This type of rambling needs empty paper or, er, uhhhmmm do they now call it cyber space?

Anyway. Off I go into this adventure. Please note however, that the title "random" isn't by chance. Because as you will see if you become a reader of this blog, there is not usually any sense to what comes to my head. Pretty random. Random in content, frequency and length. Oh, and my nine year old, Blake wants me to give him a "guest spot" here and there. When he came in from school and saw me working on my banner, he had all kinds of ideas. Mostly to do with the thoughts that I would be read from all around the world and be famous. Not sure about that. But I'm not apposed to it either! In fact, if you like what you read or see, share it please. If you want to purchase something you see that is for sale, contact me or the individual I've posted.

 And if by fate, you are some great business owner with connections in high places that wants to pay me big bucks for my random creativity posted, by all means, CONTACT ME! Don't even think about it! Just do it! I have a huge vision and dream with much yet to be blessed! Did I say that right? Well, I've been blessed, so to whom much is given, much is expected and I'm a giver by nature. The kingdom is my field! And if by chance I have enough left over to feed my fettish for "things that always fit" such as lip gloss, purses and what not. Then glory!
