Time to start thinking ahead . . .

I don't usually post about things like this, but it has really made
me stop and think ~ I DO need to post this.

My husband and I, and my daughter and her family (who live nearby), have been
threatened by a fire only a few miles away from us.

James, my son-in-law, is a Wild Land Fire Fighter and when
he said, "Please head down the hill." Well, let me just say,
we didn't hesitate! Both families are back in their homes now
and safe, as long as the wind blows away from us.

The reason for this post is this, DO NOT for a moment think that you
are always safe from any type of disaster/destruction, whether it
is from a natural force or a human force. We are ALL susceptible.

So . . .
** Make sure that you have a list to help you grab stuff you need or just plain want.
 ** Make sure that you have photos of your belongings for the insurance company.
With info and current replacement value.
** Put your photos and data files stored in three different places
(online is a good choice for one of those places).
** Think now about how you are going to file your taxes if all of
your records are destroyed, because guess what ~ you still have to file.
** Don't be lazy ~ put documents and those small, precious items you are not using
in a fire proof, lock box. If you can grab that and go, that's best.
If not, at least it might survive whatever you are facing.

There are always other things to think about ~ so if you have a suggestion
please post it in a comment.

Thanks for listening ~ please prepare.

Halloween is getting closer . . .

This is by far my most favorite time of the year.
I LOVE the colors and I really have the most wonderful memories
of doing special things with my family while I was
growing up ~ pumpkins, decorations, costumes, "trick or treating."

We have listed some creations at our ETSY store
so please go take a look.

Art for The Forgotten Wall

Well, we have been busy!!!!! Look what's new!

Art for The Forgotten Wall


 "Art for The Forgotten Wall" is a concept developed to enhance those small spaces
throughout your home. We originally designed these pieces to decorate
the 5" walk through space that separates rooms. Then we discovered that
these pieces can decorate any wall, shelf, desk, refrigerator, mirror, window, etc.

 

Please visit our ETSY Store!

Thank you for your interest!

Dogwood Decoration Mat

I live in the Sierra Nevadas and the Dogwood tree
was so majestic this year ~ I just couldn't
stop designing this beautiful flower!

I LOVE the shape of this decoration mat.
It offers a simple beauty and does not distract from whatever
is placed on top; be it a flower pot, candle, vase or cookie dish!
The size is perfect for those smaller areas.
The round mat is 7 inches in diameter: however, the dogwood flower
extends the piece to be 9 inches for length.

This is for sale at our ETSY Store!
So please stop by!

 (Flower pot and plant not included!)

Thanks for looking!
Have a wonderful day!

Splender in the Sierras

Dogwoods

My first exposure to them was through my dad.
He had several in his yard and I remember the photos he
would send to me. Some were white and some pink.
I was always amazed at why he seemed to take ownership of them ~
he was so proud that these trees were on his property! Yes, they were lovely.

Then I moved from the concrete jungle to the Sierras and WOW!
I finally understood what dad was talking about.
MY Dogwood trees are ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
 

I just can't get enough of these trees!!!

So ~ in honor of my dad and these trees I have made
a Dogwood Table Runner.


This pattern is available at our ETSY Store.

Thank you for looking and have a beautiful day!

Acorn and Leaves Decoration Mats

These beautiful Acorn and Leaves Decoration Mats
were inspired by my love of the mighty oak.
It always amazes me how this tree comes from the smallest of acorns.

I designed 3 different sizes and each can be used in so many
different ways to enhance, not over power, your picture frames,
figurines, vases, tools, etc. . . . how will you use yours?
