sharing = down the tubes

/

Just recently, in our 22 years of marriage, my husband and I realized that it was time to stop sharing the same tube of toothpaste. He always complained that I didn't screw the cap on tight enough. I honestly never liked his choice of toothpaste anyway. Who would of thought getting two tubes would do the trick after all these years? Marriage ~ a work in progress every single day. Happy Anniversary Ted! Here's to dancing into the next 22 years! Happy Friday dearest Silverbox family. 22blog

little breadcrumbs

/

I was asked this week if there where items in my studio that had special meaning to me. I never really thought about it. It didn't take long to realize I was surrounded by meaningful pieces. An illustrated desk calendar by my daughter, inspirational books, oil paint and brushes to remind me to find some time to paint again, photos of grandparents here and there that remind me who helped mold the gal sitting behind this keyboard, and so many more comforts in nooks and crannies. I guess I subconsiously kept these little breadcrumbs, so that I would never lose site of how I got here. Do I still have my first "Learn how to Draw" book on these shelves? You better believe it! (That's a blog post in itself.) Wishing you all a weekend filled with special somethings.
