For today I would like everyone to take 10 minutes, just 10, and sit without any electronics around them and think - no sleep - think. You'd be amazed at what a clear mind can do! ~KM

4 Terrific Tuesday

First let me tell you where we went - on just the first day -

Washington National Cathedral

Smithsonian Aero and Space Museum

Newseaum

Holocaust Museum

Vietnam, Korean, Woman's and Lincoln Memorials

Space, the final frontier!

Oh Vanna, you have nothing on my girl!

Look Mom, I am 'this big'!!

For anyone that is even 'just crafty' we have been doing a FRIENDLY little challenge via FaceBook. I would love for you to come join us. This Creations Color Challenge is Black and White. The reveal dates are 7/4/11 - 7/9/11. You don't have to have a studio, do crafts full time, or even sell your creation, just be a member of FB, sign on to our even (click photo below) and create something that is Black and White. Then post it during the reveal dates on the events page. The main reason we designed this was just to be INSPIRED and creative! Please, come join us if you want (if you have any trouble 'attending' the even, let me know and I'll invite you!)

So, did any of you guess who this is?

I guess you'll just have to come back tomorrow and find out!!

I have an amazing photographer to feature today, Karen from KarenCaseySmith. I found this photo and just loved the simplicity of it. You can create many hidden meanings to this photo, so you can simply look at it as a cracked mirror. Either way Karen has really captured a wonderful photograph. Please visit her studio and see her many Mandala's that she has created. If you read through her bio you will find that this is a lady that is at peace with herself and her surroundings! You really need to check her out - don't forget to let her know where you heard about her studio though, please!

As I get older words my mother spoke from the time I was very small come to mind more and more often. When she forgot something she would always say:

'It is called ANYTIMERS, because ANYONE can have it ANYTIME'

and then go on with her day! ~KM

9 Marvelous Monday

Today is a day that can only be called MARVELOUS!! As you know I have been gone for about a week. Well, I am back! I actually didn't spend my time at home, I went with my daughter on her Patrol Trip to Washington DC! Neither one of us had ever been there before!! What an amazing time we had! Over the next week or so I'll be showing off photos and talking about where we went.
