I've been playing

 My adorable

husband gave me a new camera for

Christmas.  All I asked for was one

that would fit in my pocket or purse

and not weigh it down like the one

I have.  He found a super duper

camera that I am having fun learning

to use.  Here are some shots:

 

One of my mothers' vintage birds. 

My annual ornament from hubby.  Hummer in a flower. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another of my mothers birds.


Loving this new camera.
Could take a while to figure it
all out but it sure does take
better pictures than the other one.


Smile...someone may be taking your picture  :>)

 



The Best To You

To each of my readers I want to

extend the very best wish for the season.

For me it is Christmas, but

whatever you celebrate, I hope you have

happiness and are safe.  And I wish for

 

PEACE ON EARTH

 

 

Please always share your smile   :>) 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all who read

my blog.  I am grateful you stop by now

and then to visit.

 

This Thanksgiving, may we all hold

good thoughts close to our heart for

those who are less fortunate, those

who are serving our country, those

who need a good thought.

Will You Still Need Me??

 

 

Will You Still Feed Me????

 

 

 

When I'm 64!!!!

Yes, today I am 64.  There are two quotes about
birthdays that I like:

"The great thing about getting older is
that you don't lose  all the ages you've been"
                          Madeleine L'Engle


"Her birthdays were always important to her; for,
being born a lover of life, she would always
keep the day of her entrance into it as a
very great festival indeed"
    Elizabeth Goudge

For those who don't know me, I feel I must
mention that I am blessed that my hair is
natural.  It doesn't show in this picture, but
I do have grey mixed in.  Maybe the fact that
I don't have kids has kept my hair from
greying.......really it's my genes.  At 64, I miss my
parents.  I have so many questions I wish I
had asked, so many things for which I would
thank them.  I have the best husband in the world
and the most wonderful friends.  My siblings and
their families, I love!  Same goes for my in-laws.

Life is GOOD!!!!!!

Help needed

I am looking for some help.  I am in the process

of setting up my Etsy shop.  I am taking a class

next week (one I took before and get to sit in on again

for free).  I am hoping those of you who have

an Etsy shop, or shop on Etsy often, can give me

your best tip for selling on Etsy.  Just the one

thing that you feel is the most important

thing to know.  If you want to add more, of course

you may do so. I will be selling small things

so that the shipping will be easier.  Please help

if you can.  I really appreciate your input!!
