I did it, I did it! I spent two whole days in the most disorganised room in the house (see post last week) and it is now pristine! I threw A LOT of stuff out, re-organised and moved things around and I feel so much lighter in myself!
Hubby is really pleased as he finally has his table back in his possession and although he hasn't finished re-organising that little area it is well on its way.
Of course, the rest of the house is suffering somewhat in comparison now...but I think I'll attack that another day.
The weather has turned very icy here - although the skies are a vivid blue and the grass is green due to rain we've had over the last month. So it is easy to lull yourself into a sense of spring from the warmth inside the house - until you go outside of course! Then you feel the wintry bite and retreat inside very quickly.
The springlike looking weather has inspired me to work with a burst of soft, pretty colours so I thought I would share these delicately coloured earrings that are of new jade (serpentine), freshwater pearl and rose quartz.
I found a great group - Unique Women in Business at the by Earth Expressions blog. I love the idea behind this group - it's fantastic to see women banding together to help each other towards success!
Recently, I received the same award from two fellow bloggers - Miriam from Angelshair and Terry from Magicalbeadstalk gave me this:

ReplyDeleteHi Annette,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the award! I've already posted my newly discovered blogs-your support is amazing. Thanks for making this first experience for me such a positive one!
Life's been a little hectic around here too. I have one room in the condo I avoid entering at all cost because it's become a storeroom for everything. UGH! Hopefully I find your courage and do something about it. Quick. lol

ReplyDeleteI love the earrings Annette. They certainly are beautiful and soft ... during a dull season. I know we've been blessed with some nice sunny days, which are so welcome, but it's those dull, cold days that I can't wait to pass.
ReplyDeleteI've also been checking out the blogs you've nominated for the award - I've enjoyed browsing through them.
ciao for now,
Elena :)
I love all of your things. I hope you have a great week.

ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I love checking out new blogs, but it seems that I never have the time. Just look how far behind I am on commenting on your blog. Although, I have stopped to read it a couple times and then was off again. I'm trying to make up for it!! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd let me say, the earrings are beautiful!!
