Then last night I was getting ready to go off to the Silent Auction for my older daughter's school. She was standing in the bathroom joking with me and I smiled at her in the mirror, Suddenly I had tiny crow's feet! I was delighted! This was not the reaction I had expected to finding my first real wrinkle, but what a happy way to welcome aging.
My daughter was amazed when I pointed them out to her. She thought I would be upset and I said "No no Honey! These are happy lines! They mean I smile a lot!" So anyway, If I am going to have a line on my face I'll take those any day over a frown line. I actually treasure the crow's feet on the faces of people I love.
Speaking of smiling, there's been a bit of that around here this week. Daughter got an award at school today for her talent with academics and her sketching. She was thrilled.
Family is calming down and things seems better all the way around than they did 2 weeks ago.
I've been crafting. I spent last night playing with Fimo clay, trying to make tiny rose beads to go on some of my jewelry creations and was only partially successful. I see potential there. I did make a funny heart with Fimo last night that made it onto a bracelet/earring set I crafted using some of my hand rolled paper beads and some czech crystal and freshwater pearls. I named it "I left my Heart in the Garden" since the paper beads were named "Pink Peony" and the other charm on the bracelet is a silver ladybug. I added a couple more charms since these pics were taken, just to balance the bracelety out a bit more.
I have it up for sale now in my etsy shop. I am on Showcase for bracelets all day today, so thought I'd offer a deal for the 2 as a set.
I hope you are all having a great Memorial Day weekend.
