On My Birthday

On my 53rd Birthday: "....I don't think our goal is to look younger; I think it's to look as good as we can, given our age and our experiences...the real key is understanding who you are in midlife and going with it." - by Lesley Jane Seymour- MORE Magazine

I'm so glad my brother kept this picture of me taken when I was 19 at our family home in the Philippines. This is my earliest recollection of decorating done during Christmas. Let's see...I must have wrapped plastic balls in polka dot gift wrap, added some pine cones,   inserted lollipops around the edges, and set them on my Mom's precious glass bowl. Decorating was an "activity" I did then but now has become my lifestyle.

Welcome Spring

The most beautiful time of the year is here once more and it never fails to inspire me. Flowers in bloom, birds chirping louder, and bluer skies are just a few of the things urging me to return to blogland.

Yes, I have been gone for many months, seemingly suffering from artist's block. Instead, I got busy connecting with family and friends on, where else, Facebook! It also became a home for a lot of my photos on decorating until I needed more room for creative expression.

{Sometimes I wonder if Shakespeare ever had a writer's block.}

So, home sweet home, I'm back to blogging...just in time to embrace spring!
