Good morning! What a beautiful day, seems like spring is in the air. I have been busy with a project for a friend of my that is getting married in May. Yesterday I made a discovery, that painting signs is a creative outlet and I enjoyed it so much, I told my husband that I may have found a new job (another job would be more correct) – My friend asked me if I could paint a sign she saw about seating at a wedding, which led to another one and several more. I am so excited about this new project, I get to express myself and do something for my loving friend, what a great combination.

I am no artist by any means, but when I put my mind to something, I generally find a way to complete the task, like once I wanted to redo two chairs in my office at work. I did it, and they look good, but do not want to do that again anytime soon. And once I took a cake decorating class, it was fun, but not really my cup of tea, so to speak. So, I do know where to draw the line in completing a task and wishing I had never started in the first place.
But, oh how I have loved doing these signs/pictures for my friends wedding. Maybe it’s the occasion of uniting two people in love that has made this so special to me. One thing for sure is that I am having fun and grateful for friendship and being asked to be part of a special day in their lives.

Creativity helps let go of stress and fills my life with a sense of accomplishment and for that I am grateful. Oh, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to y’all!

Love all, in all, through all.
