Where Bloggers Create - My Sacred Yarn Room

When I create
I make a mess,
Try not to
but I do~~

Forgive me~~ I am in the middle of one of my "nesting" projects right now and I'm ashamed to admit how I've let things get so cluttered. Imagine about 200 different yarns in a variety of colors strung all over my Sacred Yarn Room~~

~~

~~

~~

~~

~~

Then add to that the embellishments, ribbons, tissue, tags, packing boxes - I am surrounded by utter chaos right now! I am truly too embarrassed to show you actual photos of what my Sacred Yarn Room looks like - so I have "disguised" them a bit~

When I finish a project - I completely clean and straighten my craft room - (sometimes it takes days to crawl out of this mess!) ~~~ and then I start again on a new project - and another new mess!!

~such is my life!~

(And yes - you are allowed to say that this year I have totally wimped out:(

If you are curious about my latest big project and aren't scared off by my big mess - you can click the Twinkle, Twinkle photo at the top of my sidebar or click Here.

I am constantly adding to my yarn collection - as I am always in a state of "nesting" around here. My beautiful green yarns are displayed creatively here - it's the only neat thing in the room right now!

Do you make a great big mess when you create? Can anybody really be creative in a neat and tidy way? I'd love to hear your comments! If you make a mess, please tell me so! (It would make me feel so much better!) (all this company and I'm just not prepared - I'm so embarrassed!!)

May I offer you some delicious cookies? Will that make you feel more welcome? (and maybe forgive me for this mess!) Thank you for your visit - I really am so very happy that you stopped by to see me. Your comment will serve as your entry - and Miss Maddy girl will draw the winner. I will post the winner right HERE on this blog post on July 29. I'll have these wonderful pecan blueberry butter cream cookies delivered right to your door - wherever you live!

Update 7/29 - the winner of the cookies is Terry of the Blog Glorious Expressions.

I wish you all wonderful journeys as you visit the many talented and creative women who are participating in this great event. Thank you Karen for all the efforts that you put into making this such a special celebration of creativity among women!

Big News~~My first Travel Feature is Published!!

I am so excited to share this news with you all - my first travel essay has just been published! I've been asked to join the talented team of writers at a new online magazine for women- Living Better at 50+.


I will be a regular travel feature writer for this exciting new women's online magazine. My first travel essay is about our trip to the Canadian Rockies. In the essay I share a little bit of history about the Banff National Park as well as my favorite suggestions to enhance your own travels there. (I even offer up suggestions for my favorite low cost souveigner gift to bring home to your friends and family)! You can access the article directly here~~~or just click on the travel section of the magazine here.


This new magazine promises to bring fresh and interesting topics to mature women on such subjects as beauty & fashion, health & fitness, home & food, money & business, relationships, and of course travel. There is also a special section devoted to "Words of Wisdom" - a place to find encouragement for the times when we all need support in our lives.
The magazine is new - first published this February - and already it is becoming widely popular. Their facebook page has well over 800 fans already - we are hoping for a 1000! (you can come and join us if you want - just click the LIKE button on the home page of the magazine - I'd love to see some of my follower's faces there!)

I hope you will take some time to check our this new magazine -Living Better at 50+ - and also my travel feature. If you want to leave a comment for me on the feature website - I would be thrilled and probably blush in 7 colors! (seriously -it would mean the world to me if you have the time to leave a comment!)
I hope you will join me in this exciting new venture~~ (every month I"ll take you someplace new and exciting~~
