This week has come to a close and now I must be on my way to start my weekend doing all of the things that I love do like sleep in, work on projects that fulfill me and watch The Tudors on DVD because let’s face it, a little Jonathan Rhys Meyers goes a very long way. :)
And what about you? What will you do this weekend? What do you hope to accomplish? I think I will make pancakes in the morning and go for a long forest walk since we have fresh snow on the ground (again). To think that last weekend everyone was wearing spring jackets and out buying ice cream cones and today we’re back in mittens and boots… oh well. It is what it is so I plan to simply enjoy it by taking a long walk in the forest in the morning followed by reading the newspaper in my favorite local coffee shop. The little things often have the greatest impact on me and there is nothing more beautiful than a forest covered with fresh snow.
I’ll see you on Monday and by the way, Leslie and I just finished teaching Blogging Your Way and have decided to teach another in September so I’ll make an announcement here on decor8 sometime early August in case you are interested. Also, Leslie will be back with her Color Me Pretty column in two weeks and will visit us once a month with her color story. This month she’ll be focusing on pastels to get us in the mood for spring.
See you in a few days!

Your weekend sounds delightful. I’m afraid mine won’t be as relaxing…we will be cleaning the house, the garage and the yard. Not as delightful but, rewarding.

I have just started my own consultancy, so I plan to promote that as well as do a bit of sketching for my blog. And fit in a visit to the fishing village of Sai Kung for some fresh crab and prawns. The weather in Hong Kong is hot and humid but it’s due to drop to 11 degrees again on Wednesday. Crazy!
Have a lovely weekend!!!

After a nose-to-the-grindstone type of Saturday–I’m in the last phase of a freelance consulting project, the phase where I believe everything I do is rubbish and that it won’t possibly come together (even though it always does)–I’m prying my fingers off the keyboard to explore the city tomorrow.
The Portland Saturday Market opened this weekend after a long, dreary winter break, so the mister and I will be filling our bags with produce and crafty goodies for as long as the Northwest weather permits. We’ve heard rumors of rain, but fingers crossed, my umbrella will remained closed for one more day.
Enjoy your forest, and thanks for another inspiring week on decor8!

Hello Holly!
What an inspiring WE post!
So far, i’ve been to the countryside for a day and a half. Had a long walk in the woods. Stopped by the cemetery and an old ruined chapel where I prayed for my GrandPa (he passed away a year ago). I meditated. I made a fire from scratch in the fire place. Did some yummy meals, talked to friends, learned to crochet, relaxed with tea and decor magazine…
Sunday is for working on my driving and webmaster lessons !
thanks again for the inspiration.
the weather is cold to snowy in Southern France.
