Something to add to my list

So I have an actual "when I fall into a ton of cash" list. It is an active part of daydreaming for me.
How would I use cash, if I had it all around me, casual income, excess amounts and no looming bills or what have you. You know what I mean....
Well seeing stuff like this fuels me...it is what makes me want to introduce art to the public, the laying of hands so to speak. Such wonderful things the mind can do and explore:
 



I have also added " take all the classes at AS220" to my list....

you can see all the other ideas under "The List"  at the top of the page.

Lovely Blog Awards

 
 
I am so lucky to know so many amazing and interesting people!
I feel honored that I have received this Lovely Blog Award.

Per the conditions of winning this I am suppose to reveal 7 random things about myself, and pay it forward...so that is what this post is about!
Super fun

My 7 random things:

1. I am incredibly superstitious. So much so that sometimes I will not let you say certain things at certain times. See I can not even tell you what that is and why! See, I have incorporated this so well into my life that I barely know that I am doing it anymore!

2. I often have the desire to honk at random people for random reasons. I drive a lot and often times when I pass a car that has someone picking their nose, or talking on the phone or if someone is just walking down the street I want to honk my car horn at them. It is like the least used thing in my car... I barely use my horn. I wonder if anyone has ever had to replace their horn from overuse?!humm

3. I LOVE the smell of wet earth, maybe it is from all my gardening, or that it evokes childhood memories, but I find it so very comforting. If they made a spray of that smell I would spray it on my pillow so I could smell it as I drifted off to sleep.

4. I am convinced that there are ghosts in my house. I wake up almost every night thinking that someone is in my bedroom watching me sleep.

5. When I get dressed up, I spend a good bit of time putting on make-up (this might be because I really don't know how to do it so I am teaching myself at the same time) and then after looking at myself, wipe it off with my hands leaving my face in a state of half made up/ half back at square one.

6. I watch home shopping channels to see how people talk for so long about light bulbs or other things like that. I am training myself to be able to talk to anyone about anything!
7. I sometimes can not see the defining line between people and animals and so when I look at animals, like baboons, I only see a being, no different than you or me. It is amazingly beautiful when it happens. It is like seeing a rainbow appear.

Thankful Thursday

 
 
A photomontage of all that is running through this thick skull of mine:
 
 
I am thankful that I do not have to use floral tools to get work done.
A little pet peeve of mine is the "make tools pretty so girls will want to use them"

I am thankful that Hubby likes to make pancakes from scratch

I am thankful for idea time with friends so we can work creative kinks out
and eat cookies

I am thankful that I get to see cool stuff like this in the early morning hours
That is the sun rising through the fog!
