Cold Days, Sunny Days, So-So Days and Birthdays

It's been a while, over two weeks to be exact.  Much longer than I ever intended to be away (at least unannounced) from my blog.  Not that I didn't think about it. I did, everyday and sometimes hourly.  Amidst the cold days, sunny days, so-so days and birthdays it just sort of happened, but I am back now. :)

In February I enrolled in the Blogging Your Way e-course and classes started on February 28th. The course is being taught by the lovely Holly Becker of Decor8  and Leslie Shewring of  A Creative  Mint.  These two ladies are a creative force to be reckoned with and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be exposed to their blogging (& life) wisdom during the four week duration of the course.  The "classroom" is huge with bloggers from all over world taking part and enhancing the experience by bringing their great talent into the mix. The past two weeks of lessons have given me a lot to think about and I expect there will be more food for thought in the remaining two weeks.  Today we received another set of materials (styling, photo processing and flower arranging)  from Leslie and I can't wait for dive in. 

Last week Sam was invited to a birthday party and instead of going for the in-store gift wrap service, which is totally uninspired, I took matters into my own hands.  I loved it, Sam loved it, the recipient didn't pay much attention to it, but his mom really dug it. On a related note, I must be the only person in blogland that doesn't have a stash of washi tape.  I hope to rectify that over the weekend.

Hope you have a good one.
