  1. Good Morning Jo: This is a lovely sign with a very important message. I blog because I felt a need to be part of shared creative souls...little did I know I would find not only that but wonderful and talented and caring friends to share with. Happy Friday to you my dear...

  3. I know I should simplify things around here,
    BUT - - - - - -
    On a positive side, I am reducing my fabric stash and buying very little.

    I began blogging as a way to share my recent activities with family. As it turns out bloggers from over The Globe visit more often than family. Go figure.

    Hugs

  4. I like your giveaways. I do love deeply!
    I blog because I have found so many friends who are like me. We share the same likes.
    I love to read about chickens and how to make soap. I like to share my garden and look at theirs. I love your lovely words and comments. I just delight in blog land.

  5. This sign is oh, so cute!!!

    I started blogging as a way to share recipes, and it turned out to be something very different, and hardly any recipes! I like blogging and the friends I have met are so dear to me. It is a good outlet.

  6. Blogging is a fun creative outlet for me and a way to share with other people who love the same things I do. I do believe to love you must love deeply or it isn't love. It's beautiful!

  10. Hello my friend... oooh, I am sooo excited I won your last week's giveaway!!! I will email you my address, can't wait to receive my pretty tresor!... a friend of mine talked me into starting a blog a little over a year ago... I thought no one would ever look at it, but I love to write, I love to photograph, especially Nature, and I love to chat with interesting people... I never dreamed it would turn into the wonderful world of blogger friends (like you!) that it has!... I was shy most of my life, and to be honest, didn't quite fit in with the little cliques, nor did I want to... seems like there was alot of pettiness back in those old school days and I did not want any part of it... now, I have friends all over the world and it is so much fun to be a part of their lives, even just in some small way through their blogs... I loved traveling all over the country with you this past summer (via your posts), and I love your wonderful sense of humor and lively spirit! I could write a book about what I love about blogging, maybe I will!... xoxo Julie Marie (Merci for my prize!)... PS I want to see you in your witch's hat!!!

  11. Hi Jo, Love the sign hope it will be mine. Ha! I made a rhyme. Anyway, I blog because it is the only way I can get my art out there for people to view and it adds to my purpose in life. I am addicted to blogging. Love it. I also love visiting other blogs and I realize that comments really do make people smile.

  12. Darling Josette,
    I truly love your post. Congrats to the winner.. I too have no wall space. had to build an art Studio to hang all my art. I was hoping to meet people with art in common and also sell my art work. Alas, no sales.

  20. Why do I blog? For friends, laughs, hugs and frustration! You know why I said that :)

    Just coming over for another quick peek. Sorry I've missed so much..my loss. Life is slowly looking somewhat normal again. Except for the blog burp! Good thing I have two of them.

    Great idea for giveaways Jo. I'll have to come see all the beauties you're sharing.

    Keep being beautiful :)

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
