There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.
- Buckminster Fuller
American architect, author, designer and inventor
Things are not always what they appear to be. Transformation is part of life. The next time you run into one of life’s caterpillars remember that one day it will become a beautiful butterfly.
Have a lovely day. 
Mailed out bunches of hand-crafted-with-love Valentines to family and friends earlier this week.
A vellum band with the phrase,
All You Need Is…
surrounds the Valentine.
Slide the band off, and open the Valentine…
…and you get,
All You Need Is…LOVE
Hope the Valentines arrived in time.
Mostly, I hope folks were pleasantly surprised (delighted).
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Little Lulu, who is almost 2 years old, was perched on the stool at the kitchen counter patiently waiting for the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to cool.
Or so I thought.
Not until later that evening, when it was finally time to have a cookie, did I notice that she had taken a bite out of several cookies! Funny (and sneaky) baby!
Sometimes we just have to enjoy the little pleasures in life — like sneaking cookie bites when mommy isn’t looking.
My wish is to share with others lovely things that delight…whether is is something handcrafted by yours truly or another, a great tutorial, an awesome blog, an inspirational thought…or something I have yet to discover.
