I hope all of you dear friends have a very nice weekend, I’m signing off for the day to go on a date with my husband — dinner and a movie! Yay! Let’s hear it for having a husband that takes you on a date each and every Friday night for 7 years. It’s the best night of my week.
Here’s my new painting purchased from artist Michele Maule.Perfect for a girl who writes stuff as much as I do. :)
Pretty things from Ez from a recent swap we did, this is a view of it on my credenza. The notebook says, “She decided to start living the life she’d imagined”. Despite the ups and downs involved in making major life changes, we have no regrets when we try and way to many when we don’t. If you are about to embark on making some changes in your life, maybe you should pick up a little notebook from Compendium like this one for yourself too.

I adore the typewriter painting. I love old typewriters.
This blog is really amazing and I would love to exchange links.

I immediately went on over to the Compendium site. I am going to order several of their journals for bday presents. I love objects that inspire and have positive messages. Not to mention, it encourages journaling, which I believe to be very important to your soul:)
Once again, such a helpful post.

I think the best gift you can give to someone is a journal filled with thoughts and dreams.

I ordered this journal for my friend; She, too, is beginning to live the life she imagined.
