Dreams

Today I want to talk about dreams. Dreams as in, goals, purpose and destiny. The dreams that you have plan to do in your life or would like to do. My dreams are: *...to have a successful business. *...to move to Pennsylvania, & start a new life. *...to have a new home. *...to publish my book & hope it will be a great success. *...to open up a business that will cater to peoples health-selling and counseling them on natural products (nutritional supplements, herbs, aromatherapy, wetc.) and how to take better care of their health, naturally and healthy. Those are just a few of the dreams/goals that I have for my life. I hope and pray that the Lord will help me make these dreams become a reality. I think everyone should have a list of dreams-and keep them until they become a reality. It gives us a purpose to live. I think having a list of dreams is motivation to carry out our purpose. What are your "List of Dreams?" I encourage everyone to write one out and don't be afraid to start working towards it to accomplish your goals in life. It's your personal achievement. Have a great day. Peace & Love, Crafty Ann

Yay, I Got My Wish

Today it snowed. Not much, but it was exciting to get snow here in the south. We hardly get any at all. I've always admired my blog friends snow where they are, and I finally got some where I am. Sometimes a few years back, we would get a spell where there is so much snow, schools had to be cancelled. Not a lot though.

It was exciting though to see the little flurries, and then they were a few times it was just spotting snow. Oh yeah, and it is truly, truly cold. Usually on cold days when there is nothing else to do, I like to bake. So, hmm, what am I going to bake today? A cake, some cookies or maybe I'll just try a whole new recipe. That would be exciting wouldn't it?

So tell me, what do you do when your snowed in and have nothing else to do but to keep warm? Do you bake like me, curl up on the couch or bed, snuggle up under the covers and read a book or drink hot chocolate while watching a movie. Or do you work on a craft project as I do sometimes? Tell me about it, share your memories-I wanna know. It's exciting and interesting to hear about what one does in their keeping warm moments. I may want to try your idea and do something different, and you are welcome to covet my ideas.

Well I hope you all have a good warm day or try to keep warm for that matter. But I just wanted to share what's going on in my neck of the woods.

Peace and love,

Places I Like To Visit

Someday I'm planning on moving. I wanted to live in Ireland at one time, but I changed my mind. However, now it is a place I'd like to visit.

England is the next place I like to go and of course;

Canada is the other place I'd like to visit. These place seem to be so serene, and it is place where one can go and collect their thoughts. Maybe one day.

Where would you like to visit in the world?

Happy crafting,

Childhood Memories

I remember when I was a little girl during the summer we would work in the yard, cleaning it up cutting grass and tending to the flower beds and gardens. Yes we were country folks and when summer came around, thats all we did for that entire time-we just worked in the yard and gardens everyday, keeping the yard up. We would plant and we would harvest. The jobs we had to do weren't always something we leaped for joy all the time. The fun part of it was that we were allowed to take breaks on some Saturdays and of course Sunday's were always a day off. That day we went to church. The most fun and favorite time that we loved was, after we finished working in the yard and finishing up our time in the vegetable and flower gardens, our dad would take us to the side store and buy us some icecream and a cold soda-along with one of those cracker snacks for later to eat. That was the best time of my life. My dad would award us and take some quality time with us after our work was done for that day. Although we all were working together, we didn't had time to just sit and chat, so dad made sure that after the work was done, we got to spend the rest of the evening together chatting and having fun. He would even give us and talk to us about life lessons and how to live right. His number one advice that always stuck with me into my adult life, was that he would say, "alway's live right and treat everybody fair and you'll get along fine." I carry that lesson with me today, and as I put it into practice, I reaped the good results that my father said I would. Besides some life problems that life throws at you for everbody anyway-I did get along fine, and I notice that when I treated people fairly, people looked out for me when I really needed some help. I'll never forget those good times and moments. Have a great day everybody and make wonderful memories with your family today. Good memories, I believe, keeps us grounded through out our life. Until next time, Crafty Ann
