Sunday morning.......

This was a week of reflection, a week of stress, and a week of loss.

With the death of my father on Wednesday, I am learning a little (OK a lot) about what is involved in the 'after' part of losing someone. Even tho my dad's wishes were very simple, there were still so many calls to make.......

to Social Security
to insurance companies
to attorney's to find out what is involved in executing the will
to the funeral director
to family and friends of my dad

and the list seems to go on and on.

So even tho I feel like we have done very little except for a lot of sitting around the last few days...there were a few tears, a few laughs, and a lot of enjoying time together as family.......on THIS Sunday morning I am looking forward to going to church to praise God for the 52 years I had with my dad........

Until next time.... be BLESSED!!!

And some more on creativity......

A dear bloggy friend of mine at Janet's Journal and The Skinny on Mini wrote these words in her comment on my creativity post. With her permission I am reprinting them here if you didn't catch this on her comment.

I read an article by Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love fame) yesterday about finding your passion and I think it applies to exercising creativity as well. She had lost her ability to write during her last book and was panicing over it. Her girlfriend advised her to put aside the pressure and to just doing something else, anything else and not concern herself with the outcome. She said, "just be curious." Brilliant! She told her that you can't fail if you're just curious about something.



I was also thinking about how we stop ourselves from trying new things because we are afraid of not being good enough. I have to read over and over again that perceived failure is just that, perceived. We really don't fail because we have learned something in the process of trying. We learn how to do it better next time.

Thanks to Janet for these kind and well timed words. And yes I call her a dear friend even tho we only know each other from blogland. Her posts always bring a smile to my face and LOVE her ideas. Please visit her to show her some of the love she has shown to me. 

 



Today.....

I don't usually feel the want or need to post 2 times in one day, but I had already scheduled today's post last night. So it is with a very heavy heart that I add this second post.

Dad was moved to Hospice Care at a local nursing home yesterday afternoon. With the severe storms predicted and the heavy winds that accompanied them here in the Midwest, we did not take the chance of going out to visit him.

Early this morning, Hospice called to say dad had died peacefully in his sleep. There is nothing more that I could have hoped for with the pain he has been experiencing for the last few months.

Soon I will write a post of memories good and bad as all those memories make up the man that dad was.

Until next time....blessings.

Now to tackle the doubt......

I have chatted a little about Creativity the last couple days but also about the self doubt that has plagued me and still does to this day.

OK, I admit it, I am a Dictionary.com junkie..... I hated using a dictionary when  I was in school but this site as well as Thesaurus.com have  become great friends. They help me with fun word games (OK, so maybe it is cheating) but it also helps me to realistically look at something in its REAL light, well at least according to Roget,,,,,

So what really is doubt??????

.........to be uncertain about something; be undecided in opinion or belief......

I LOVE THIS DEFINITION!!!! It says to me that the indecision or the belief and be dealt with. I can choose to be uncertain, or I can choose certainty. I can choose doubt and disbelief or I can choose BELIEF.....Belief in my ability, belief in my skills, belief in my creativity.......

Now what do I DO with this frame of mind. My plan is to spend the weekend taking some pictures of complete, in progress and future projects to share with you. Things I planned on sharing all along but let myself get sidetracked with my parents illnesses.

I think I can find a way to intertwine the two....the caregiving as well as the ME side, the creative side...just like like life being a road that has twists and turns with many intersections....so will this creative journey I am on.

OK, so I will try to not to make definitions a DAILY part of my post, but I think I have stumbled on to something.... :o)

Until next time.....

Creativity by definition.... continued

Soooooo after pondering a little about yesterday's ACTUAL definition of creativity I thought maybe I should touch on each point in the definition.

1. the state or quality of being creative. OK, so I think I got this one covered. I am creative when I let myself be. I am talented when I let myself be. AND I have great ideas when I let myself have them. Seeds of self doubt were planted YEARS ago and they sprout up at the most inconvenient times.
2. the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts. Hmmmmm, I can do this too, if I let myself be free, to try new things and not let the little self doubt sprouts tell me that the idea isn't good enough. I lost a lot of the confidence in my ability to BE creative, to create new and fun ideas or combinations of fabrics or styles.....
3. the process by which one utilizes creative ability. AHHHHH now this is a good one, as I am working on getting back to my creative side. I am stomping out those little sprouts to make way for this new burst of creativity. And I will once again USE my creative ability in small ways.... and who knows, maybe some NOT so small ways.

All of this will be a process I know, as I make room for creativity in my life in between the other chaos popping up daily. But I know that creative ventures will only help me to make it through this storm, and to come out the other side with a greater appreciation for the things that I can create.

Until next time.....

CREATIVITY by definition is.......

cre·a·tiv·i·ty   /ˌkrieɪˈtɪvɪti, ˌkriə-/ Show Spelled
[kree-ey-tiv-i-tee, kree-uh-] Show IPA
–noun


1. the state or quality of being creative.


2. the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts.


3. the process by which one utilizes creative ability: Extensive reading stimulated his creativity.

So how does that fit into my life, or the original concept of this blog????

HMMMM let me ponder that......

Check out some of my bloggy pals at Beckham and Bloom OR

Praise You In This Storm .......

For my recent birthday my son and future daughter and law gave me a beautiful little plaque that said " Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

It got me thinking about how I am trying to dance in the rain that is falling in my life, the storms all around me, everywhere I look. Do I choose to look down, think "Oh POOR ME" or do I dance, do I sing, do I praise God through it all.

It may be a stretch at times, but I do choose joy, I choose praise..... Enjoy this wonderful song by Casting Crowns...... I heard it on the radio last night after a particularly hard visit with dad. The words brought me back to center and calmed me for a lovely evening with mom.
Until next time.. be blessed....

Calm before the storm......

I received the call you are never prepared for.... no matter what......

The hospital called and said that we need to have Hospice in place before they send dad home. Calls have  been made, texts sent and Hospice and Dad will be coming home to my house tomorrow.

Not having been through this before, I have no idea how much time we will have with him. Will he perk up a little when he is back here with mom? Will he know who we are in these final days?

Dad is still coming in and out of reality, so it is touch and go from moment to moment.

We are working through the final plans and having them in place when the time comes.

I ask for continued prayers and thoughts while moving into this next phase on this cancer journey that is so new to all of us.

Blessings to all of you.....

Stopping by.....

Good morning from sunny and cool Ohio. I am thinking of all I have to be grateful for today.
Family
Friends
My good health
My parents moving in with me so that I can spend as much time with them as I can

I wanted to also say I am thankful for ALL of you as my friends in blogland. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to me and I am grateful for your sweet messages.

I am still not sure what each day will bring as dad's cancer progresses. At this point we have him in the hospital to determine if further treatment is recommended or if we just enjoy the time we have left and call Hospice in to help us all cope.

Blessings to all of you for stopping by and lifting me up.

Until next time.....

Update....

The hallucinations that I thought were gone, have returned full force. Dad is seeing and hearing so many things that are not there. I pray that mom coming on Wednesday will bring more reality to his life so that some of this fantasy world will take a back seat to reality.

His thoughts  are usually goo and cheerful, but today he is starting to have some episodes that are less than pleasant. As long as those stay minimal I think it will be ok.

Is it the strange home or is it the cancer? I am hoping the new oncologist here can help us figure that out......

Until next time.....

Sunday Morning.....

And her is yet another God-incidence... I wanted to share this devotion with all of you. It was definitely a blessing to me this morning and I hope it is to you......

By His Grace

“But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me — and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace”
(1 Corinthians 15:10, NLT)

In this day and age, many people are filled with worry about their future. They live stressed out, wondering, “What’s going to happen if I get laid off?” “How am I going to handle it if my loved one doesn’t make it?” Or, “My parents are getting older. How can I take care of them and my own family as well?” Here is the answer: God’s grace is going to be there at every stage of your life to help you do whatever you need to do.

See, God’s grace is what saves us, but that’s not all. Grace is God’s enabling power. His grace will give you the strength, wisdom and favor to accomplish what you could not normally accomplish on your own. His grace is sufficient for whatever you need in your future.

If you’re in a difficult marriage, if you’re raising a child that’s hard, if you’re facing a sickness, one thing you can count on is that the grace of God will be there. Receive His grace today, by faith, and let Him empower you to walk through that difficulty into a place of supernatural victory in Jesus’ name!

Positivity and the Nouns we use.....

I am trying to remain positive and upbeat with all the chaos going on around me... And then something speaks to me in a way that I KNOW God is watching over me....He has my back......

The sermon series at my church seems to be presented JUST for me.... and then earlier this week, I get this email from a blog I follow.... I wanted to share this with you and you can take a look yourself at SPARKSPACE.

And after you are finished reading, how about sharing some positive nouns with me to use in my day to day life. Just leave me a comment as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Surround Yourself With Positive Nounsby Mark Henson, chief imagination officer, sparkspace


Would you like more positivity in your life?

One of the most powerful concepts we share in our Creating A Positive Charge Workshop is to surround yourself with positive nouns.

You remember what a noun is, right? A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Don't worry, we're not covering conjunctions or dangling participles in this article. The last thing I want to do is cause a painful English class flashback.

Nouns are the "stuff" we surround ourselves with every day: the people we encounter; the places we work, live, and visit; the "things" we use; the ideas we're exposed to.

One of the best ways to create and maintain a positive mental state is to eliminate the negative nouns in our lives and replace them with positive ones.

Unfortunately, we allow ourselves to be surrounded by WAY too many negative nouns. You're probably already thinking about the negative people you work with. If any of them are sitting near you, don't look up and make eye contact or they'll know you're reading an article about them. Keep your eyes on the page. It's for your own safety.

Here's a little quiz to take. It's easy. I even gave you the answers.

Q. How many people do you deal with each day that drain your energy, patience, and positive spirit?
A. Too many.

Q. When was the last time you found yourself in a physical space that inspired and energized you?
A. Too long ago.

Q. How many truly positive messages do you receive via TV, movies, newspapers, magazines, and Facebook?
A. Not nearly enough.

To demonstrate how many negative messages we receive, pick up a copy of the local paper, USA Today, or The Wall Street Journal. Count up the number of items on the front page that contain some sort of negative message. I do this as a demonstration in my workshops. I have consistently found that 65-75% of the messages on the front page of the paper are negative, and once in awhile it spikes to 85% (that's usually The Wall Street Journal, by the way).

So, if I'm trying to be a positive force in my company, my family, and my community, why would I allow myself to be surrounded by so many negative nouns? That does nothing to help me (or those I'm trying to serve).

If I was trying to fight cancer, you better believe I wouldn't pick a medicine that only provided 25% of what I really needed to create a positive outcome.

You can change the ratio of negative to positive nouns any time you want. All you have to do is dump the negative and seek out the positive.

Stop reading the newspaper every day. Ignore those RIDICULOUS tabloid magazines at the checkout counter. Be careful what kinds of books you read, TV shows you watch, and movies you go to. Don't worry -- if the world really ends in 2012 one of your negative friends who still reads the newspaper will let you know about it.

Find a place that inspires and energizes you and go there often. Like, today. Is it the gym? A church? The library? A certain inspirational business retreat center in Columbus' Arena District? (Yes, a shameless plug. Sue me). Hiking through nature almost always does the trick for me. It's hard not to be inspired by the Master's work, especially when the leaves are exploding in color like they are right now.

And finally, remember those negative people who bring you down? Dump them. Find new friends. You owe negative people NOTHING. True, some people you can't avoid (like certain co-workers or family members), but you can limit your exposure to them. It might take some planning and practice, but it's worth the effort. You don't have to be rude or mean, you just have to chose to limit your exposure to the negative people in your life.

Always remember that what you focus on expands. If you keep surrounding yourself with negative nouns, you'll end up with a lot more negativity in your life than you desire. But, if you choose to surround yourself with positive nouns, your world will become an exponentially more positive place. And imagine what you will accomplish in a world like that!

Oh, one more thing. Take a good look at yourself and make sure you're a positive noun for those around you, too.

Snoring......take 2

Stereo... I LOVE my music in stereo and I REALLY love movies in stereo surround sound.... but NOT the snoring in my house.

On my left side, I hear my dear ole dad snoring through the monitor next to my bed.....

On my right, my little furrry friend just snores away....

Maybe I should move the monitor to my right or my pup to my left.......

And I wonder why I am not gettting much sleep....

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Punkin lovin.......

FROM THIS......

TO THIS......

These are then and now pics of Cali, my little Yorkie who is now 9 months old.

And for those of you saying What the Heck? is with the pumpkin outfit..... I NEVER thought I would be a dog owner that dressed up her pup.

But get this....Yorkies have a reason to wear cool clothes. NO REALLY.... I just read that they have only one layer of hair where most dogs have two layers... They get cold faster and more frequently than other dogs, so they dress up for WARMTH, not just cuz they are Diva's......

So on the reason I am thinking of then and now...

One of the hardest things for me with mom and dad moving here is that I have to give Cali up as a full time family member. In condo world, we are only permitted to have 2 dogs per unit....DUMB rule .....  With the addition of my mom's Chihuahua and my 6 year old Toy Aussie, we would be 1 over the limit................

So Cali has gone to live full time with her sister Gaby - luckily that is just at my daughter's house so I will get to see her often and we are working on joint custody arrangements. :o) I have to pay all legal fees but will have weekend visitation. hahahahaha

 OK, so really there are no lawyers involved, no contracts to sign, but for the time being Cali will be hanging with her sis and stopping by here for overnight visits as we can work them out.

So I am spending much more snuggle time with my Aussie.... of course she is kinda scruffy right now and not photo ready.... maybe she will get her moment in the spotlight soon.

Until next time.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

Snoring....whoda thunk it??? I enjoy the noise. I enjoy know my dad is sleeping soundly.

HOW IS IT that the same noise of his 'sawing MAJOR logs' down the hall that drove me absolutely INSANE as a kid, is now so comforting?

I am SERIOUS..... I would have pounded the pavement, turned over every rock.....SERIOUSLY....to find that book all those years ago.....

OR even more recently when I had a snoring husband.... WOW, another positive thing about being single. :o)

But now, that book will not make it into MY home as I will enjoy the loud snores, snorts and grumbles that are sleep for my dad.

Until next time....

Sunday morning.....

Very early morning here as I was up playing Farmville in the middle of the night and then never quite got back to a good sleep. WHY play Farmville at 3:30 AM???? you may ask.......

Well, I think I am gonna tell ya....

We got dad moved here yesterday....too long and hard a day to tell the story here as I don't want to bore you to tears, send you running from the hills and never visiting me here again......

Anyhoo.... there are still some logistical things to work out like:

• Talking dad into actually USING the hospital bed we brought instead of insisting on my bed......leaving me to sleep on the couch....
• Getting 24 hour care (or close to it) for dad as he is unable to stand, sit, walk or anything else without a lot of help.
• Figuring out how to work my real job, and get everything set up for dad at home, while still keeping my sanity.
• How to get a 77 year old man who is very sad to be away from home in West Virginia, and a little chihuahua who has no idea what is going on in her life, settled in and comfortable in their new home.
• How to sleep when you are worried sick about the man sleeping (or trying to sleep) in the other room, all the while hearing him coughing and making pained sounds while trying to get the rests he so desperately needs.

Keep in mind there is a LOT of babbling and inner conversations and silent arguments going on in my head on all of these... as well as lots more rumbling around in there but again.....don't want to bore you with TOO many details.....

My kids and future daughter in law (FDIL) were the BIGGEST help yesterday...on both ends. My FDIL made the most amazing dinner of Lasagna (YUMMY) , fresh fruit (MMMM) a beautiful salad (that somehow got missed in the moving chaos, as well as the most amazing garlic and herb bread (eaten at more like dessert time). Then on to scarfing down the beautiful cupcakes my daughter and little grandkids made (oh, did I forget to say yesterday was my birthday). They were so cute with a Halloween theme. :o)

So on to Sunday morning and what it means this week......

I am VERY blessed and thankful that my children and future Daughter in LOVE were so wonderful and put up with my ranting and grumpiness (WHO ME?).

I am TRULY blessed that a couple that are very good friends of mine worked thru my daughter (she has always been a sneaky kid) to finish painting my upstairs room yesterday while I was gone. YES, amazement, shock and a lot of love were felt the moment I saw it. I need to ask them where they left there almost 5 month old baby during the painting spree.... maybe she helped....

Blessings will abound while spending time with my father in these last days (or prayerfully weeks or months) with my dad. His sense of humor, his frankness, his love are all things I had forgotten....or did I really ever see them when I was a kid, teenager, etc who really didn't WANT to see them........

Due to all the uncertainty here, church will be spent online this morning (another blessing that my church has services online), I have delegated my Sunday School duties to my son..... and the rest of the day will be spent working on getting everything else put away so that dad and his little furry friend don't have to look at the mess and the remnants of things we grabbed in haste to just get him here.

Until next time......be blessed.

A trip to the farm.....

Later this morning my son and I are heading off to the farm.  A sad trip, one of the last trips there for awhile.

Dad had a bad week that started with a fall, after which he laid on the hardwood floor until my brother found him 8 hours later. The squad was called and when all was said and done, they discovered that the cancer has spread to his brain.

A vicious and ugly disease....one that shows no mercy.....

So now it is time to make some major changes.... After too many phone calls to count and a lot of planning, the trip today is to pick up some furniture in anticipation of moving dad to my home once he is released from the hospital. Dad has finally realized it is time to let someone else take control, to make plans for his comfort and has agreed to move here.

So wish me luck as we hope to get my dad settled in.... If and when he gets here, it makes me sad to think that he isn't going 'home' but uprooting his entire life at a time he has little other choice.

Until next time.

A Hurricane.......

....that is what I am thinking my life is like now.... The rain is coming and the winds are swirling, but without regard to what is in it's path, what it will damage, what lives it will change.......

The only difference is that mine does not have a name, only the threat of change, of disaster, of life never quite being the same.

I am trusting that the changes that are coming for all of my family will create as many blessings as trials, that God will watch over all of us and keep us in His grace, and shower us with love.

I love the words to this song by Jimmy Needham
Hurricane
I have built a city here
Half with pride and half with fear
Just wanted a safer place to hide
I don’t want to be safe tonight
I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now
I need you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

God's Hurricane, that is what I need, to tear down the walls of fear, the walls of doubt, and to know that He has equipped me for the task ahead.

Until next time.... be blessed!

While you are visiting with me, consider visiting some of my friends at this stop.

More on Cake Balls?????

It has been a while, but when I posted Cake Balls I thought it was a GREAT idea.... a GREAT use for all the cake crumbs I cut off when leveling off cakes... well another use for them other than dipping handfulls in buttercream and eating them.

So you have to check out Bakearella's take on Cake Balls, or Cake Pops as she calls them...

OMG this is my new favorite website.....and I can't WAIT to try some of her ideas out.

Drop on over and see what I am talking about.... :o)

Until next time....

Update on being a loser.......

In a good way.....

Last week, I threw it out there about my problem... FINE FINE.... I have more than one but this was my stress eating problem.

Here I am a week later and I am still following plan....what plan I don't know... and have even won the battle with the scale this week. NOT a huge win, but any win on the way down makes me happy....

And NO those aren't MY little toesies on the scale... Mine are in DESPERATE need of a pedi.... and my last one til Spring is not schedule til the weekend..... Maybe THEN I will be brave enough to show my own...... OH NO... can't do that because then  you would see the actual number.....

So stayed tuned to see if I can make it another week... One small step at a time.......

Anyone want to join me on this "losing" journey?????

And the saga WILL continue....

Almost 4 hours of work, a huge part of it shopping for supplies and a shelf at Target,,,,,,, THEN another huge amount of time to put the 5 shelf unit together...

AND yes dear my daughter thought I needed the biggest shelf they had and GUESS WHAT????..... a hilarious hour late... the shelf was together, we wiggled it in the utility room, and a start was made on Project Clean Sweep....

Not as far as we had hoped to be, but hey ROME wasn't built in a day.....

Here is a little peak at the progress on the utility room.... DANG I forgot to take a pic in advance but believe me IT WAS UGLY!!! Sorry bout photo quality.... been using my iPod Touch.....

This room houses my hot water heater and furnace so I can't really keep paper crafting supplies in there due to heat and moisture, but it is perfect for all my baking and cake decorating tools and supplies.

Keep in mind this is STILL a work in progress and will be MUCH more organized.

Now on to a "process so far" shot of the spare room/office... If you remember this same shot from the other day..... this is QUITE an improvement. OK, OK, you can still see the mess to the left, but HEY, give me a break here... remember that about half our Clean Sweep time was spent with prep stuff...

I just wanted to share progress.... to keep me HONEST... I told you I would more likely get it done if I put it out there to those who follow so that I could hold my head high going forward in blogland.

So stay tuned for future updates as well as pics (I have GOT to remember to dig out my GOOD camera for these shots) of a tricked out area above the cabinets of a dear friends new kitchen.

Until next time.....

Sunday Morning....

I didn't really mean to post a "Sunday Morning" post every Sunday but it has just turned out that way.

Today is a particularly wonderful Sunday as I have a lot to be grateful for, to be thankful for and to thank God for.

I spoke with my dad on Friday and he mentioned that he had a pretty bad day on Thursday and he thought that was it and that he was going to Hell..... I said 'you know dad, you really don't want to go to Hell right? You want to go to Heaven? You should do some praying and maybe some more praying?" He said, "so what do I need to do?" And again, I let him know to pray, to talk to God, to accept that Jesus is God's son and to accept Him as his personal Savior"...

You don't know how HUGE this was...... It isn't that my dad was a non-believer (at least I don't think so) it was just that he was the one that said the church roof would fall in when I was confirmed and then again when I was married....JUST because he was stepping inside. HMMMM that never happened, but those times and the baptisms of his grandchildren were the ONLY times I remember my dad ever being in church.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. We all have our own way of worshiping. For me, I LOVE the music, the fellowship, and yep, even sometimes the sermon on Sunday morning. That is my weekly "bread for the journey" as our pastor says......

So back to dad.... I have been praying for a way to approach the subject of God and Jesus and Heaven with my him, and friends told me that God would provide the time and place.  WOW, I guess Friday afternoon, as I was walking out of work, was the time....the place... Who woulda thunk it????

Before I ended the conversation, I told dad that a lot of people were praying for him, that he was on a LOT of prayer lists. He then said.... "well, thank you".....

Now I know this conversation isn't over with dad, but God DID open the door to communication for me to lovingly talk to dad (and mom) about MY spiritual journey and personal walk with Christ...... The door is open and the dialog will continue.....

Until next time....be blessed.

OK, time to fess up....

This is as organized as I get!!!! That's right folks, this is the ONLY hint of oganization in my spare room / wannabe office.... (I did say HINT of organization)

SO now, for the rest of the story.... BELOW is another view of the same room. OH NO!!!

OK, YES I am embarrased!!! TOTALLY,but in a way I am honestly using that embarrassment in the hopes that I will be more likely to take care of it sooner than later.

So not only is it the MESSIEST room in my condo, but it also needs a good color, a fresh coat of paint to spruce it up. So if you remember a while back, I posted a few colors that I wanted to use  on a little table I adopted from my parents. I settled on the beautiful little pink (I promise I WILL show you the final product soon) but I also heard from lots of folks that they loved the 'SPAQUA' color.... I loved it too and was convinced I wanted to use it on another adopted piece at some point...

WELL, I loved it so much that I decided to use it in my wannabe office / hopingtobe guest room. YEP an entire room in a lovely shade of aqua.... I have started it, but I am a SLOW painter so it may be a couple weeks before I have the final product to reveal.

Oh and don't worry, the mess will be gone to as my dear daughter is going to come do a Clean Sweep style makeover... You know the deal.... one pile to keep, one pile to donate, and one pile to trash.... well sometimes they do a garage sale, but not this gal... No time, no interest......

So hopefully in a couple weeks I can proudly show off my 'SPAQUA' room and show you how I plan to use these MODA fabrics...

....in the room!!! Don't you just LOVE these fabrics????

STAY TUNED!!!

HOP ON OVER TO VISIT SOME OF MY NEW PALS AND SEE WHAT IS UP IN THEIR WORLD!!
