That Time of the Month

With that title you are still here? God love ya'...

In 2012 I have given myself specific tasks. Everyday I have been doing my Positively Present 366 Photo Project. March was green as you see...

At the beginning of each month I create the first photo for the challenge. April is purple as you see..

Another thing I have done this year is to work in my Life 2012 journal. The book itself is by Rebecca Sower and it is so beautiful.

At the beginning of each month, I add my favorite photograph taken by me from the month, my favorite self portrait, and I fill out  a "Currently" list. At the end of the year I will do one of the December Daily journaling prompts like I did in December 2011. I'll then have a completed journal that tells my story for the year.

And here is the my monthly favorites video for March.

It's been a while since I've posted any flea market finds. Since my husband is collecting so much old stuff, I have found that I have been more interested in other things (i.e. make-up) but...

In September 2011 I did find this basket, book, dictionary...

And my husband brought these home to me.

They are enormous ledgers and yes you can covet them and wish me ill.

 Well, please don't, come to think of it. I have to take care of this boy...

This month Sparkle and I went out to our little shop for a date.

I have not known how to announce this but Sparkle's sweet husband died rather quickly just before Christmas. She is left to deal with her own world turned upside down while watching this grief tear through their nine year old daughter's life...She is very brave and wrote a beautiful post about her fresh grief. It would be special if you gave her some love. I feel wrong to slide this information in on this very seemingly happy post, but that is exactly how his death struck.

Here is a sunset for him.

On a lighter note which I have been so eager to seek, here is a video of cosmetic favorites that is long and will be the longest video I make. I learned a lesson.

But that's what we are here for. Some are not so hard. Others, well, other lessons take the support of many for decades on end...
