A Place for Everything...

.... as I continue to help my space evolve, I come up with 'crafty' ways to organize... I looked longingly at the pottery barn 'techie gadget caddy' (my description, not theirs) but was unwilling to part with the $$$... so, looked into the depths of a closet (which is in desperate need of some reorganizing as well.... it is ripe for a before/after makeover!) and found a small pressed paper box. With my trusty x-acto knive, pretty papers & glue, I created my own 'caddy'.... and I like it all the more.

what was one of your surprise discoveries recently...?

Taste Life

Part of my quest this year is to reclaim who I am & discover who I am becoming. Like the layers of the paper on my decoupage bowl, sometimes there is something gorgeous hidden by other layers. The process has been mostly fun and always intriguing... I wonder why, after I'd worked so hard to find myself the first time, I let go and covered up my soul with layers...

One of the things I'm reclaiming is my love of the visual and tactile.... colors... textures... art in every day things... and of course, art in words. I created a bouquet of color in a mug that reminds me daily, to Taste Life.

How do YOU create the fun and unexpected from the ordinary? Share... let me know!
