It's tree night. Trimming the tree I have pandora on new Christmas music
Some is so fun and some makes me so emotional. Every year I get ornaments celebrating each of my boys and our family. Even get for the dogs. It's been a great tradition. Have a few broken ones but for the most part they're pretty much intact.
Looking at pictures and missing people. Have a painting my father did. He is no longer with us it's amazing to me that it took till the year before his death for us to truly get close. Sad, but so wonderful. My mom died twenty two years ago. She was my best friend. Always
She never knew my boys and that breaks my heart.
So mom, dad, I miss you both, so much
I don't know what is believable but I hope they can see us from heaven and , well wouldn't it be great...

Sometimes I forget,
Be kind, everyone is going through something.
Yesterday I felt conflicted, after hearing from the person I feel that I lost, for a moment, what I have been trying to do. Live lightly, remember the saying that we should be kind because everyone is fighting something.
So, I learned another lesson,
Now I need to remember it.

Im a little frustrated today. When Im trying to get something done and people dont respond right away I get a bit anxious. Especially when they want something from me.
The older I get the less of a yes woman I become. I guess as we age we realize that time is precious.
If you want any of my time, well you need be at the very least respectful of it.
When I was studying theater I remember waiting an hour for someone to rehearse. I was furious
with her and with myself. I had words with her about how she dared to keep me waiting. Oh course, when I really looked at it I had to ask myself why I waited.
So, to the person I am frustrated with today I say, Im here if you want the info, if not Im going to sleep.

Soup Day
Soup day. Long morning workout then home to make chicken soup. I love the start of winter.
Crisp, clean air. Snow is beautiful when it first falls.
Families in together. Thats a great day.
I love my dogs. Ive become a real dog person, really surprising myself. They are pure love.
Been doing a lot of doodling lately, as soon as I figure it out Ill start posting pictures of it.
Still learning.
Just read an article about cleansing. Not just your body but your home.
Im going to do it. Throw out all my started but never finished projects. I think it will help me feel
cleansed. No reminders of unfinished things. No failures. Good to start new!
I mean really, if its half knitted, sitting in a bag for two years, chances are I wont finish it. Ive
already moved on to something else.
By the way, my soup came out delicious!!!

Still trying to figure this out.

Welcome to Paper Talk
Taken me a while to come up with a name. I went through maybe thirty of them before deciding on this one.
I like this because I love paper. Wierd or not, I have always been drawn to beautiful papers, pages filled with color and pictures.
Ive always been in the arts. I lived in the theater world for a while, honing my craft but left it for motherhood. Best creations ever, my two sons!
Now I am back to creating. I have dabbled in jewelry making, knitting, crocheting, but none have caught me as much as scrapbooking. Paper! Im now into art journaling and just starting zen doodling.
As my site grows I will place pictures of my art work as well as invite others to do so too.
So, welcome to Paper Talk where I will write about whatever catches me and look to evolve into a place where we can talk and grow and bring our inner artists out.
