For an future engineering student.
Thought the math page would work quite nicely.

It’s happened again…I just have to make some new things I’ve seen on Pinterest.
Such as these Kale chips!
OH YUM!
Crispy, crunchy, healthy, yummy.
Here’s a link to the the original post.
Credit where credit is due….
The second inspiration didn’t have any readable instructions…just a series of photos pinned. So, unfortunately, I can’t give credit to whom it’s due.
Here’s the original “pin” (left) which summed itself up nicely.
<-----
I used an ugly canvas I picked up at a garage sale…gessoed and tissue papered it before painting it green.
I thought the green left behind my leaves was a little boring so I went back with painted and retouched them.
Looks pretty dumb on the shed door but I happened to have a nail there for the photo op.
Have you been inspired lately?
As I sip my yummy iced tea (from the bargain bin, $0.75 baby) and make my Target list,
I hear a curious sound.
Rustling in the serviceberry tree.
The Cedar Waxwings have returned….
They come every year to pick it clean.
I think they are so beautiful.
What I don’t think is so beautiful are the messes they leave everywhere. Apparently those berries go right through them. Sorry…TMI.
Gracie is very entertained.
What more could a cat want….warm sun to lay in while watching dozens of birds right outside the window.
What are you doing today?
Obviously Target is on my list…as well as stopping by my friends Tea Tuesday blogs.
I have a passion for words. Quotes especially. I find myself making more and more quote tip-ins. I guess that means I’ll need to put together another book one day.
We’ve been watching the Hatfields & McCoys mini series.
I think that’s what brought out the photo. It’s actually from an old Reminisce magazine. My folks used to get that one…I’ve saved some of them since they have such fun stuff inside.
Thanks to Elizabeth for the awesome handmade paper behind the photo. She makes the best handmade paper I’ve ever seen!
Ever have one of those weeks that you have all planned out way a head of time…then when the week begins you completely forgot that you had a zillion things to do?? That’s been my week. I think the 3 day Memorial Day holiday weekend was what started me off on the wrong foot. Monday turned into Tuesday in the blink of an eye.
Tuesday I was a bit under the weather…allergies and such.
Wednesday was filled by inventory at the school library.

Yesterday I got to go to the Arboretum as a chaperon for Little J’s class. I really love it there. We should really get a membership…but I digress.
The girls enjoyed the Japanese garden…
especially the koi.
I enjoyed a moment of quiet serenity myself.
But we can’t forget about the flowers…
So many beauties.
It was hard to choose which to share.
This was my favorite floral photo of the day.
Soft and dreamy…and pink!
Today will be my “catch-up” day.
The team of fairies I wished for at the fountain never showed. A girl’s got to dream, right?!?!
How are you preparing for summer?
Bits and pieces laying around came together for me yesterday.
Wish that happened more often.
After weeks of absence from Darcy’s postcard challenge, I have finally found my characters.
Apparently they had been spending some time together in the English countryside.
Their relationship has definitely made some big changes.

Thadeus,
The past few weeks have been like a dream. I pinched myself this morning just to make sure. I miss you already. I thought this painting would remind you of our week in the country. The stonewalls. The picnic. The inn.
Hurry back to me….
Always- Maggie
Ah… the excitement of new love.
This weeks page is pretty simple. Aged papers and doily scraps.
