It seems that lately every time I want to sit down at the computer and have a little "me" time, I am interrupted by something, or one of the kids needs my attention...admittedly I often times like a little distraction, but when I am wanting to have a little time to put my thoughts together I like to be left to my own...So hopefully with no further ado, I can finally post what I had planned sharing a few days ago...
First hit my Facebook link above to watch the turtle video that I posted on my FB page... I think it's less than 2 min. long and then come right back~I'll wait for you... OK, are you back?
As I posted that amazing video, I wondered at how often I was like the turtle who was there to lend a helping hand (or in this case a flipper LOL) to her friend and give her a push...
On the other hand, I asked myself how many times I ended up like the turtle on her back that needed the help of a friend , who sometimes gets herself into a jam and can't find the proper way out of it on her own...and who needed that little push from a kind friend to get back on her feet.
I truly strive to be the type of person who more often is the one who offers to help than the one who is stranded and needs the help...
As I continued to watch and wonder at the simplicity yet the magnitude of such a simple act of helping a friend in need...it reminded me of "pay it forward"...I just love that idea!!!
Here's to having a great day... Wishing you well!
I have been working on my new Etsy shoppe and hope to have that up and running soon...I will give you updates and keep you posted.
http://www.artwallonline.com/about/ Art Wall Online is a virtual display space created to exhibit the artwork of independent artists. The pieces are showcased in the form of an “Art Wall,” — an arrangement of artwork placed on a virtual wall. Each one is curated by proprietor Katie Stephenson. Everything is either made by hand or is a print of handmade work and is priced between $5 and $500. Art Wall is not a shop, but a curated gallery. 
I love finding little bits of inspiration all through the blogosphere... Here is one of my own suggestions; 
It's been a while since I've indulged in a challenge...I needed a break from my crazy schedule and decided to have a bit of "me time." 
Yesterday my hubby suggested that the boys might like to make popcorn balls...and I thought it would be a fun Fall activity to do so I checked for recipes and checked my pantry and discovered that I lacked corn syrup to make the traditional recipe. I love to experiment with cooking and I had a recipe I thought I could play around with...so I substituted honey in the recipe and I think it turned out yummy!
