so excited...

So, I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of my Canadian chica...my soul friend [I like to call her] the one and only Sherry Smyth....You would think the Queen herself is coming.  I can hardly stand it...
I am not even sure how long I have known Sherry.  It feels like in some way I have known her forever.  I met her online of course, through her blog.  Many of you know her and love her.  It is easy, she is the best.  I can't begin to tell you how she has helped me find my way.  She is more than my friend, she is my mentor in many ways.  How can you love someone whom you have never laid eyes on?  Well, it is easy.  In this day of technology... it is not as unusual I guess.  But back in the days of our early friendship, there was no Facebook...now there is and it is a great way to keep up with our friends.

Sherry and her hubby Al, are driving from Canada...for a 2 week adventure.  She was planning a trip to Florida and made the decision to take a jog over to Louisiana to meet me.  I am so happy, I know it is so out of the way...but I am humbled that they would take this detour.  We will only have 1 day (tomorrow), but I bet we fill that day with wonderful memories...no matter what we do!  I can't wait to lay eyes on her...and just "be".  She has taught me to just "be"...I am learning...This is defiantly a "bucket list" entry... I am a happy girl.  Can I still say girl?  YES, I can. xo

As you might see, I removed the sidebar for the Photo of the Day...I feel bad, but I wasn't fully embracing it and if the weather permits, we will be leaving for a trip North (home) in a week or so...and I wouldn't be able to keep up anyways...maybe next time.

MEET MY FABULOUS FRIEND KIM

One day while visiting on Face Book, I saw a photo upload on my friend Kim Geiser's wall.  A sketch she had drawn, with some of my favorite things.  A Victorian boot and fan, beautiful flowers and hearts!  And the words, the best part...GIVE LOVE and GET LOVE.  Awesome words, simple yet meaningful.  Kim's talent is never ending, but her heart...is always warm and genuine.  Kim is one of my art sister's!  Anywho, I "liked" it and then I told her it contained some of my favorite things...and she said message me you address, I will send it to you.  Now come one, who does that?  Kim does.  She even added a few pieces of lace, my weakness....and a little ACEO.  I love you Kim, thank you from the bottom of my heart....
