4 Tantrun Thursday 12/27/12

I just can't throw a Tantrum today, there is just to much to be happy about!!  My life is starting to get back to normal - after all the holiday fun - but only starting!!  I am so lucky to still have my best friend and her family with us... it had been to long since our last visit!!  It is hard to have someone who is so much a part of your life live so far away!!  I just can't think about when she'll be heading home!!

I am, back to beading though!!  I started a project yesterday that seems to be going well.... I really love the earthy look to this stone!  And I am hoping that the BLUE beads just make it POP!  Here is where I go to yesterday....

You can watch it grow by visiting my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day.

And  now, to leave you with this thought for the day;

If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
