Favorite Things and This and That



Magnolia Tree in Bloom


note: Blog Hop every Monday ^_^



Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist soul and explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit.



Having been busy preparing for an art display in a gallery for the summer season, I have neglected writing about more of 'enhancing the spirit' through creativity. Hoping to write more soon.

In the meantime, today's post is for Thursday and we are linked to very creative blogs yet each unique in their style. Favorite Things Thursday and This and That. Have been out and about looking for Spring photos and the above is a marvelous one that didn't get edited very properly; yet the effect is there. The photo below is of an outdoor yard decoration that is fascinating to me as it glows in the dark and is rather magical. It decorates the crush stone area below my deck which leads to a rather small grass yard area.







The good news to share with you ~ My brother is home from the hospital and is on the mend. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. They are working. Enjoy the week.




Hugs and namaste,

Come by on Monday for our blog hop, Magical Monday Meme for anyone who is the least bit creative. Share what you are creating from crafts, needlework, photos, paintings, whatever you might be creating. It is all magic.

    Magnolia is probably one of the oldest plant genera on the planet.
