Thoughtful Thursday 8/15/13

WOW, is it really Thursday already??? OK, I am REALLY not ready for school to start!  Yesterday I thought I was, but now…. NOPE!!!  I love having my kids around…most of the time… and we have had a great summer.  I can’t believe that my ‘little girl’ will be starting 8th grade and my Monster will be starting 3rd… when did that happen??  I am so excited for both of them, it is a BIG year for them.  
Aye is getting ready to take the next step in her life – high school next year – and this year means a lot to her!  Monster, he gets to start his new school this year (he will be going to a private school now) and is very excited about that!  
Tomorrow I’ll be doing more school shopping….hopefully the last of it…and then, it is school time!
I thought that since everyone got such a kick out of me showing off my homemade meatballs the other day I’d show off last nights dinner.  I call it Fried/baked chicken.  My daughter says that doesn’t make any sense, but it is breaded like fried chicken and then put in the oven on a broiler pan to be baked….hence….Fried/baked Chicken!  I added Mac and Cheese and fresh Zucchini!  YUMMY!!!!

OK, I almost always LOVE the projects I am working on, but I don’t usually smile and laugh through every row!!  These little ‘minions’ are just toooooo cute!!  I have already designed a second bracelet in this series and might even try for a third!!  I hope that I am able to finish this one tonight, and get it listed in the morning!!  But, until then, come watch it grow on my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day !!

Today’s featured artist is: Dune-Grass-Mosaics.  This amazing artist started out hand-painting fabric, but then switched to doing these wonderful Mosaics.  I can’t believe the colors in this dragonfly creation!!  There are so many beautiful and unique one-of-a-kind creations in this studio that not matter your ‘taste or style’ you will find something in this studio you like!  Remember, always support handmade artists if you can!

Today I would like to leave you with this thought;
The best way to change your belief system is to change the truth about you.
What you actually ‘do’ is more important than what you say you’ll do!!
