My cousin taught me how to do diamond art! It took me 3 days to make this Taylor Swift picture for my granddaughter. She loved it!

I tried my hand at a cherry pie today. It turned out pretty good!

I’m so proud of myself. I cleaned house today. It took me 4 hours and lots of breaks to get it done but I did it! The house looks great and smells so good. Now I’m ready to sit by the fire and put my feet up!

I love baking for my grandkids. I made these sugar cookies. They love eating them! If you’d like the cookie or icing recipe just let me know!

On my walk, I saw this small snail scaling a rock wall. It probably had no idea how high the wall was. It just kept going. You’ve got this. 🐌

Isn’t it amazing how God cares for even the smallest creatures? And He cares even more about us.

I just love trying new foods! Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Mediterranean, Italian, you name it. Mexican food is definitely one of my very favorites. What's yours?

This is a photo of two of my granddaughters showing their creative sides. One of my
granddaughters had a piece of her artwork chosen to hang in the local art museum.
When I was a little girl, creativity was stifled. My parents had no tolerance
for such 'foolishness.
Maybe if I'd had a creative distraction, the abuse would have been just a little more tolerable.
Have you found your creative outlet? Sewing, painting, sketching, coloring, writing, sculpting, scrapbooking, etc. are all great ways to calm the mind, express your inner self, release
tension, and clear your thoughts.
No, it won't be perfect.
Thank goodness we don't strive for perfection. Aim for good enough. Look at that finished piece and see what you've created all on your own. No one can exactly duplicate it. You are a one-of-a-kind
masterpiece.
