Friday Five 09.Feb.27
Happy end of February! It's almost March, which brings another round of birthdays in our family.
And, today is Friday. How was your week? Here is mine, summed up in 5 words:
* Laundry
* Cooking
* Muppets
* Figureskates
* Staplegun
Lots of laundry left from our 5 day vacation in the mountains with lots of snow, cooked at least 3 times this week (!), watched our Muppets dvds (again), laced up the princess' figureskates for Wed. lessons, and finally, tonight I plan on getting out the staplegun to re-cover the dining room chairs!

Winner Announcement
The winner of the Thank You Card set is...........
Ceridwen!
Congratulations!
Now, for an apology for my lateness in announcing the winner. I realized after my family and I had left on vacation that I had not posted the name or contacted the winner. So, Ceridwen, I will be e-mailing you soon!
Unfortunately, while we were away, we received messages that my MIL had gone into the hospital and the doctors found that she had pneumonia and other health issues. Luckily, she will recover, but it will be a long road back to health. We are very fortunate to have her in our lives, and we wish her to be back to her active self.
My DH took some wonderful photos from the top of one of the runs at Sunpeaks, which I hope to share later this week, perhaps on Wordless Wednesday.
I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Tuesday Inspiration 09.02.17
For today's inspiration, I want to present the wonderful work that I just discovered over at Aria Images. Melody, the photographer and owner of this shop has an assortment color, black and white, and sepia images available in various sizes. Here is just a small sampling of what you will find....
My heart just sings when I see such beautiful photographs. Today, they inspire me to no end. I most definitely will have to add this shop to my list of Favourites!

Help with my Creativity
I have been reading a great series on creativity over on Holly Becker's decor8 blog ( LINK ). Holly Becker is a regular contributor to the Real Simple magazine (my absolute favourite magazine, btw) and she has the best daily newsletter. I suggest you head on over and take a look around.
I came across her while looking for decorating ideas for the main floor of my home. There is so much to think about, it's almost overwhelming at times. We are on a super tight budget, as we will also be replacing the carpet with bamboo flooring this summer, and hoping to squeeze in a total renovation of the upstairs bathroom. One of the very minor plus' about the economic downturn is that now, we will be able to get choose quality contractors as they now have less work on the large new developments.
Click on over, you will not be disappointed.
