Not So Wordless Wednesday ~ April 9

Thank you to each one of you who visits Creative Soul.

I'm especially grateful to those of you who join in the conversation by leaving a comment.

I love hearing your thoughts.

Here are a few of the new blooms this week. Lots of rose blossoms! With a nasty line of thunderstorms looming on the horizon, we may lose these new blossoms to hail, wind, and heavy rain. Just another reason to love photography.

Late to the Party


Gotta love that daffodil. Just two inches tall, he is decidedly late to the spring party, but a cutie, never the less. The foliage you see around him are the daffodils which bloomed a month or so ago.

Happy Creating!

Ta-Da Friday ~ April 4, 2008

This was a fun and productive week. I will admit I'm ready for ds's baseball season to slow down so I have a few more hours a day not at the ball park. I love baseball, but he plays both JV and Varsity, which means a game almost every day.

I wrote 800 plus words for a marriage article. Very rough, but the words are on the hard drive.

I wrote a 'flash' fiction. Also very rough, but it was my first attempt at telling a story in such a short form.

Indulged in a bit of fun photography.

Then....

I participated in the 'Spring Training Swap' hosted by Paula at Coffee Time Quilt Studio. While I had a blast gathering things to send to my swap partner, it was such fun to receive a box from my buddy. Cloe had packaged each item in red, white, or blue tissue ~ Texas Ranger's colors. Then she labeled each one with the name of a Texas Ranger from the opening day starting line up. Fun!


But even more fun was opening the packages.....

Indulgent treats, new fabrics, and even a new quilt design to play with. Lots of fun!

In the spirit of that fun, I'm doing a small give-away. If you've read this far, post a comment to be entered in the drawing. I'll draw the winner Tuesday morning.

Thanks for reading Creative Soul.
