Treasured Tuesday - I'm Blue

Yeah, I have been having kind of a rough day. Like, I seriously need a hug!

So I gave myself one. I figured that if blue hearts didn't cover how I have felt, nothing did. And the best part? I made myself feel better while I was at it.

It's so fun to find something very traditional for two weeks before Valentine's day, but with a stand-out twist. And these hearts really stand out! I love them all but the belt buckle by Buckles and Blessings is something else.

Here's my latest Etsy treasury!

Thoughtful Thursday - Teenage Drivers

Or to be more specific - MY teenage driver!

Younger son finally decided to get serious about getting his driver's license, so we went up to the Division of Motor Vehicles this afternoon. We filled out the form for his learner's permit, got his photo taken, had his IDs scrutinized, paid the fee...

The lady never asked, are you ready for your baby to start driving yet? Or, do you find the whole idea of this little kid driving awfully scary? (Keep in mind that this little kid is just under 6'3") Nope, she just said "Sign here showing you take responsibility for him as a minor."

Well I have done for 16 years so far, might as well keep on taking responsibility for a couple more years!

I'm so pleased that, along with being anxious to be able to get out and drive on his own, my son understands the responsibilities that come with driving. He knows it is a privilege, and something he can't ever take for granted for safety's sake. He also registered to be an organ donor.

It's a good start!

Treasured Tuesday

I'm relearning that making treasuries on Etsy is fun!  Today I finished up a new one called Rainbow Color Explosion, featuring of course lots of bright colors.  There are some really wonderful items and great sellers that I picked out.  Windy's Designs is a great person who has been quite inspiring to me recently.  Kenyon Organics is based in the Salt Lake valley and has seeds for some of the most gorgeous vegetables you have ever seen!  And Bubbles and Bugs  has been unfailingly supportive of me since we first met - and that's beside the point that she makes adorable shirts.

Everyone in this treasury has a story for me, but if I told them all I would be here all night writing - and be too long to read too!  But mostly it's tons of bright colors that make me smile.
