What 2 Watch

Watch your thoughts, for they become words

Watch your words, for they become actions

Watch your actions, for they become habits

Watch your habits, for they become character

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny

I have planned to sit down on this bench and visit you all over the weekend

well I think it will be my bench inside the house =^.~=

Happy hugs for a great weekend !

*Moving*

Trust only movement

Life happens at the level of events, not of words

Trust movement

Alfred Adler

In my house there is a lot of dressing up going on this week

So far we have

a princess

a farmer

an air hostess

a baker

Friday = Carnival day at school

I took this picture 6 years ago

my three year old Vinciane holding her cousins clowny hand

I am still determined to not enter school all dressed up,

what would you do?

Put on a silly hat or wear a funny apron?

tell me, oh tell me so

Wee White

Today I woke up to a wee white and sparkling backyard

I did not order this weather, Mr. Weather

Off we go

a whole new week,

a baking week

cake for a parents meeting at school on Monday

tarte to join my little tea party on Wednesday

cupcakes for Celeste's birthday party on Thursday

pancakes for the disguise party at school on Friday

scones on Saturday ~ never eat your scone alone

Happy hugs for a wonderful week !

a Ray of Sunshine

I have learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did

but people will never forget how you made them feel

Happy hugs for a loveliest of weekends !

the Rope of Life

Have you already heard of Divine Twine?

besides the red and blue bakers twine

there are more lovely colors

I picked these three

Welcoming Spring in my home, step by step

We learn the rope of life by untying it's knots

Happy happy Valentine's day !

I raise my cup to each and everyone of you

lovely Koralee takes care of an amazing cake, here

My cake did not work out the way I had hoped

The outside is rather okay

but it's the inside that counts, isn't it?

Way too hard to cut

each slice falls apart in a thousand pieces

The right picture is of my traditional heart shaped cake

the one that can never ever go wrong

I do love your idea, Koralee, I have had a fun time trying and

smiling a lot when thinking about us ladies around the globe

dealing with the gorgeous cake !

xx

Wait for me, Paris!

my former colleague and I

an early, early morning train

to P A R I S

talk listen talk listen talk listen walk shop

enjoy a French lunch

shop walk talk listen talk listen talk

Meet lovely Lori over a latte

the late, late evening train

back home sweet home

That's my Saturday

What are you up to?

Pop over to meet Anita in her enchanting little corner and dream away ..

Ma plus chère amie made this amazingly beautiful drawing !

at the End of the Day

Your birthday is a special time to celebrate

the gift of 'you' to the world

unknown

Quinten turned 3, woo hoo

we have had a fun-filled day !

Symbols of Love

a Cup of Love

a Pouch of Love

ribbon

buttons

beads

paper

gathered in a tiny little pouch that easily fits in any mailbox !

xx

On a stick

Red and pink lips

Black mustaches

made out of stiff felt

on a stick

The birthday fun has begun !

These sticks will pimp up the photo shoots

a few children and grown ups

holding one of these

in front of their mouth

*little sparkles in the group*

the Fulfilling Feeling

The trick to getting things done is

to list things to do in doable order

Robert Brault

I soooo need to remember and act on these wise words

Have a fulfilling weekend !

xx

I know, my image today has absolutely nothing to do with my words

but looking at this happily colored heart does give me a great feeling

I think it's a kind of fulfilling feeling, does that sound strange?

xx

Let your Love shine

Cute words are printed on these soft colored sweets,

perfect for the month of Love !
