I look forward to seeing this every year. The green sprouting up between the dry leaves of the day lillies scattered throughout our landscape. It is the first sign, along with the tulips popping that spring is coming yet again.

This is a close up of my 7 year old's hair piece for her dance performance on Saturday. I am amazed at the variety of these 'cheerleader' hair pieces available. This one goes on the hair bun and gives the whole team the same hairstyle...flowing, fluffy, non wilting curls.

Isn't it funny that kids who don't have to wear glasses are constantly putting on their parents' glasses? I can't get over how she looks more like me with my glasses on...silly girl.

My parents bought a different house and recently sold their current one. They're in transition and moving, uh, hell. So I was playing around with some pattern papers and decided to send it on to them.

Beginning of Lent. Lent is the period where we prepare ourselves, renew our faith and spirituality prior to the Easter Holiday. A few years ago my grandmother, who was my inspiration in my faith for many years, passed away. Another family member put together a gift basket for me rather than a live plant. I didn't see this beautiful cross until some days later when I took all the shrink wrap off the basket. I saw it as a sign that even though my grandma was no longer here in body to inspire me, she was always with me in my faith.

I had thought about keeping my paper craft photos separate from this exercise of a photo a day. Well, its a normal part of my everyday life and an expression of myself so I'll periodically pop a paper production into the blog.
