2011: Week 2

Only 2 weeks into the new year and I am already behind.
We had a death in the family last week which pretty much brought everything to a halt. The only way I can describe the past week is melancholy. I have to say though, the services were beautiful. This is the first time I have ever seen the doves released graveside.. it was a very emotional and breathtaking experience.

Trying to get my focus back has been a challenge. I have almost caught up on orders.. just a couple more days and I should be good to go. =)

Since I have been busy working, I recruited "Wild Woman" to put her creativity to use and decorate my 2011 project binder. She still has to put the finishing touches on it but I LOVE what she has done with it.

Pink, Black, Pocket Tags and Polka Dots!
And how cute is that cocktail!?.. teehee
Isn't it just Deeelish?

Now it's your turn April.. Where's your binder? =)

Okay, it's time for me to get back to work.
Hope you all have a fabulous day!

My Word for 2011..

I didn't choose a word last year but one sure chose me.
My life went through a complete upheaval in 2010. Everything that was, is no more. But that was then and this is now.
The start of a new year is the perfect time to take the reigns
and "Create" myself anew.
So my word for 2011 is

Photobucket

Create the daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, artist, designer, teacher, business woman, blogger, friend & stranger... the "Me" that I want to be. The "Me" that inspires & nurtures others to be what they see inside themselves.

** Create the highest grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe. ~ Oprah Winfrey

Have you picked your word for 2011?
