Life's Happening

When one door closes, another opens;
but we often look so long and so regretfully
upon the closed door that we do not see the one
that has opened for us."
Alexander Graham Bell



Life is still non stop for me these last few weeks.
I have been working really hard and am
feeling the need to take a break.
But I also know to make something succeed, you need to have
dedication
time
imagination
knowledge
vision
passion
~dream and believe~
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams!"
We are going into our space on the 20th.
I've been going through my scrapbook of inspiration.
Here's a few more things I've been working on.



" It's the simple things in life
that bring the greatest pleasure"
Joy's of my life
fluffy cats
Fragrant roses
Sunshine
Dusty's soft nuzzle
Rosie warming my bed
Morning coffee
Birds singing
Cowboy telling me to sleep in


My Loveleigh niece Sares
painted and glittered our name.

I painted an old picture frame that I bought last summer.
We are going to put some chicken wire in it.



Sares and I went scavenger hunting last week and found
some great treasures for our displays!!!
A lovely lady gave us a deal on these items.
bird cage
door with chalkboard
old brown table
chair
$25.00

We have a space 15 x 4 ft.
There are 3 built-in shelves on the 15 ft side.
We are going to turn the door lengthwise and use it
on the top shelf.


The chair is kind of worn, but a cutie.
I painted it.

I think it will be fun to do some displays in the birdcage.


Meet ?!?
Will tell you her name when I post our opening pictures!!!





We will have lost of fun dressing her!!!

keep one still secret spot

Just be patient with me for another week.
Thanks for stopping by!

Life In The Fast Lane



Life never seems to slow down for me these days!

I finally planted some pansies.
Only to get home and realize they were primroses!
I know the difference, but was in a hurry.

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I,
A Cowgirls Grace, Pony Girl, and Loveleigh Treasures
decided we were going to start crafting.

The work has begun!!!
Here are a few of things I have made.

PILLOWS!
I want to thank June at
"Laughing With Angels"

for the rose inspiration!

You really must read her blog!
I didn't have the magazine she recommended,
so I got creative on my own.

love to add BLING!!!


Old lace doilies and chenille bedspreads.
You can't see it in this picture, but the background is
pink with silver threads running through it.



I've done a lot of soul searching and praying about this
adventure.
I believe God has his hand out and is guiding us.




~Take time to smell the roses~



lots of lace

We started hitting garage sales and the Goodwill last summer!
We have lots of goodies stashed away.

vintage bottles & music from old hymnal's

~Go confidently in the directions of your dreams~


filling my heart with songs of worship and praise!

button, button, who's got the button!



One of my favorite songs
by Brandon Heath
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far, beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see


We have decided to rent a little space in one of the
Antique stores.


glistening! sparkling!

Lots of glitter
stamps



~It's A Wonderful Life~


joy; to fill with ecstatic happiness,
pleasure, or satisfaction, to enjoy
great happiness, delight





My Copperpony!
You give me such JOY!
Happy Belated Birthday to K.T. Sparks
from "The Wildwood!"
~HAVE A BLESSED DAY~

Soul Awakening

It is amazing how one can sit and ponder over all
the things not going the way you want in your life.
A small voice reminds me of all the blessings bestowed upon me.
Write it on your heart that every day is the
best day of the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today I will...
Enjoy the simple things.
Let the things I LOVE be my escape.
Cherish all the wonderful moments and memories.
Fill my life with joy.
Be grateful.
Focus on the positive.
Nurture my soul.
DREAM!
Life whispers...Listen carefully

It is such a comfort to drop the tangles of life

into GOD"S hands and leave them there.

L.B. Cowman
