    The pendant is beautiful!!! And "believe" isn't just about Santa - it means so much more coming from YOU, who have believed in yourself and shone with your fabulous new project! You set such an example of the old "lemons to lemonade" proverb. You may have learned lessons this week, but you've taught all the rest of us, as well ... :)

    Great lesson to learn for this week. Do nice things for people who are close too. Maggie's prinpical told the kids to do 5 nice things a day for people. She is so excited about doing these things. I love that you put out the same challenge and am excited.

    You always make us think Leanne. It is your gift. Have a wonderful week.

    Leanne,

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. OMG. I’m listen to your video and you are talking about Chicago. Hello neighbor, we are in Buffalo Grove. Where do you live?

    My family and I are all about giving to those who have less than what we have, especially, this time of year. I am loving your message.

    Also, I am craving your pendant. BELIEVE is one of my favorite words.

    It would be great for us to connect again soon. Hopefully in person one of these days.
    xoxo

    Love this post! So very important to remember the people who are silently there for us. Who don't expect anything in return but will be the first to step up to help. Thanks for the reminder, Leanne. And yes, as "Girl" says, your vlogs make me smile!

    You are such a wonderful mom Leanne! You can see that your children are so influenced by your kind heart! That is great that you heard positive feedback on all of your wonderful work! You have worked hard and should get all the kind comments for the amazing work you have done. Cardinals are beautiful! I hope you are doing well my friend! Have a great day!

    Hi Leanne, me again! I was going to e-mail you about the Cardinal, because it sits so close to my heart. But I did not see your e-mail address. So I just wanted to say that this is absolutely beautiful! I love the meaning behind it. I went to my Dad's grave the other day and cried my heart out. I miss him so! I think it is beautiful that you remember your Dad when you see a Cardinal. Have a wonderful day my friend!

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?...
