Little Blog Update #1

-

A little blog update for my faithful friends and readers. It's been 24 days since I've created this blog, and 13 posts later (that's about 12 more than I thought I would have since the first one!) This blog is turning into a pretty wonderful thing for me. I never imagined sharing my stories with the blog world would be so much fun and fulfilling, but it is!!! So many of you have emailed me or posted notes on Facebook about how much you enjoy this blog - and I THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your notes inspire me!!!! Keep them coming!!!

Now, to a little bit of business:

  • A bunch of people have asked me how to leave a comment on this blog if they don't have a Google or blogger account. Well, I did a little investigating as to how I set this whole thing up, and it turns out I needed to adjust the comment status when I created the blog (who knew?) Anyway, I have now fixed the status and you can now leave me a comment on any of my posts without having to log in to a google account. Just select "NAME/URL" in the comment section. It will accept only a name (you don't have to provide a URL). So, PLEASE LEAVE ME COMMENTS!! They mean so much to me. It would mean so much to know what you are feeling and to hear that what I am writing is inspiring you (or driving you crazy)! This blog is a format for communicating - not only me to you, but you to me. So, Please comment!!!
  • I've also corrected my time stamp... turns out I had the time set up for Pacific Time zone. Now, I'd love to be blogging from some exciting place in California (maybe Napa or San Fran), but until that REALLY happens, I'm all central standard time zone! Yippie! (I still have so much to learn about blogging!)
  • Finally . . . PLEASE tell you friends about me! If you are inspired or like my chaos, if I make you smile - then pass it on. I am so new to this, that I'm not sure how to build more readers. But YOU may be able to help! So if you think, "Oh my gosh, my friend has got to read this!" or "Oh, wow!!! My sister had a similar story - she would die to hear this!" then, please share my blog with them!

Ok, I think that's all the business I wanted to address (for now). I'm taking a couple days off from posting . . . I'm out on some little adventures with the family that will certainly create new stories for next week (yea!!!) Thanks for taking the time to read this. Oh, and for those of you who have told me that they have always wanted to create a blog . . . my reply to you is, "DO IT!!!" It is so rewarding and has helped me take a look at myself in a really strange (but FUN and CREATIVE) way. It's easy to set a blog up, and so worth it!!! If you do, make sure you share you blog info with me, and I'll become follower!!!

In the meantime - Peace & Balance to you! See you in a couple days!!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
