There is always HOPE in the garden...

I love spring and even though it is snowing right now in Utah, I have been looking for all of those wonderful spring flowers.

This is a cute little flower slide I made and it fits on a watch strap type bracelet. I guess I could make a flower in each color of the rainbow and they could be interchangeable. Now I have something to tide me over until the snow melts.

Happy Colors

Ever hear that song by Jimmy Cliff. "I can see clearly now the rain has gone...it's gonna be a bright, bright , sunshiney day."

I dare anyone to give it a listen and tell me it does'nt make you smile. It makes me feel happy, just like the colors on these earrings.

Vacation

I just returned from my "big adventure" with my family. We took the kids on a 14 day cruise to New Zealand, Tasmania and Australia. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of New Zealand and the grandeur of Australia.

One thing we learned is that people are pretty much the same all over. We have the same hopes, dreams and generally, most people are nice. We discovered some new friends and were inspired by the kindness of strangers. We saw a Tasmanian Devil and fed a Koala Bear. It was such an amazing journey half way around the world and one we won't ever forget.
