Laughter Is The Best Medicine - Funny Critters

Inspirational quote
The post to my left is something I have added a few times over the years.  I am adding it again today as a reminder to myself that God doesn't give us dreams to just see us fail; He inspires and lifts us up to new levels.  I hope it also inspires you as well.

So start your week thinking that you will achieve your dreams (unless it is to be a horse or a helicopter!)

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established. ~Proverbs 16:3

And remember while you are up to your elbows in work, tasks and the struggles...

... Laughter Is The Best Remedy!

Pinterest Party has Moved

Good morning,
The Pinterest Party has Moved to Tuesdays due to a lack of participation. We gave it a good try but Based on participation last Tuesday compared the normal Saturdays we had double the participation.  I think people are just super busy on Saturdays.

Thanks everyone for your support and see you on Tuesday!

Happy Birthday Terry And Life in the 80's

From FB Page ButterflysAttic
I am especially joyful and grateful this Sunday.  Today is my Hubby's Birthday and I am so grateful for his friendship and love.  I am truly not sure what I would do without him.  We pretty much do everything together and go everywhere together.  When I do need to travel for work I recall many times thinking "I have to bring Terry back here he would love this!"

So Happy Birthday Terry! You are my Best Friend

Jeremiah 29:11 ~ "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

*************************
Remember Laughter is the best medicine.



Not sure the origin of this one but it was found on Face Book

Here is a series (coming from the 80's this made me say "Aaaawwwwe....") Give me back my 80's LOL  All (and many more from)  FB profile (public feed):The Kelli Spence

Photography by Colleen on RedBubble

I would love your opinion on one of my new designs: "Etching of Wild Cherry in Red" just listed on RedBubble.

This image was created by digitally isolating part of my Wild Cherries in New Mexico and applying several filters and treatments to get the appearance of an etching.
