Anyone have a little energy they can share?

I can't get over how incredibly tired I am!!!

Being a Mimi is hard work...but the most precious work of all, don't you think?

We colored together today...and told stories...

I'm on the cusp of turning 50 and can hardly keep up

with my sweet Clara, a mere 2 1/2!

Today's post is filled with more gorgeous Master's paintings for you...
Can't you see them on the front of handmade cards?
(remember to click them twice for the largest size :)

Plus a few glimpses from our visit to my mom and dad's house

in the GA mountains last year in the fall.

It was so funny....my dad has a rep for driving "just a little" too fast
and here I am with my camera hanging out the window and I could barely

get a decent shot because we were pushing 60 mph!!!!

I finally had to tell my dad to PLEASE slow down
so I can get some beautiful photos of the leaves :)

Isn't it funny how each of our family members have "little things" like that?

I admit it, when I was young, I drove like a crazy banchee!!!
And I SO got it honest!

But the more children I had, I finally calmed down a bit, thank goodness....

the traffic tickets were killing me and our insurance premium!

We going to have more fallish temps in Georgia this weekend

and YOU KNOW I'll be in HEAVEN!!!!

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday my dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

More wonderfulness for your eyes....

I always love sharing beautiful things with you!!

Here is a print I found this weekend and I absolutely love her.

The name is: The Cottage Girl by Thomas Gainesborough

It's a very old painting...isn't she beautiful??

Our weekend was so wonderful at DH's brother's home....

I thought I'd share a few glimpses inside.

It was absolutely gorgeous!!!

I've had a serious creative dry spell!!

I always want to kick myself when this happens but I'm trying not to.

I have so many projects lined up to work on for the antique space and

still need to work on them...oh well, the laundry was so far behind,

I'll get to those projects soon I hope!

Wishing you an amazing Tuesday sweet friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn
