weekend in review

A little sampling of my weekend...

.

First, finished a painting. It's always fun to paint on a Saturday morning.

.

Next, played around with an idea that came to me in the middle of the night - zinnia flower necklaces. I like them. I think it's the first time that an idea came out pretty good on the first try. It's one of the ideas I have swarming around in my head for the probably one-in-a-million shot I have (please please please fingers crossed!) of getting into the Bazaar Bizaare, San Francisco.

.

And I got an early Valentines' Day present - Almond Cookie Body Spray from Carol's Daughter!!! I'll have to update you on this later because my nose is still stuffed up and I can't smell...wait...wait! I just gave it another try and it seems my nose is back in business. This smells WONDERFUL!!! (I can't believe I couldn't smell this yesterday) A perfect blend of almond, vanilla, lemon and sandalwood. Doesn't smell too sweet like some food-flavor scents tend to be - so sweet you almost get a bellyache from wearing it too much. (thank you Tommy!)

.

And last, an afternoon spent sitting at the beach while my son took his nap in the backseat. Waves looked to be in pretty good condition (but, what do I know?). Hoped this photograph would bring some warmth to those of you trapped in the "blizzard of the century", as Katie and Matt keep calling it.
