comes new beginnings
be with us
to not only ring in the new
but to be with family and friends
who like me,
value and love you.
PL Precept # 1 Life is ART
virtual photography by Q
There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.
PL Precept # 2 To live is to Express One’s Self.
There is an expression when you do something, do it right. Well this was not my intent, but, hey, life happens.

The congee did cool down and was transferred to another bowl, my wonderful husband, who I appreciate every day, cleaned it up .. he says I’m the best “mess maker” he has ever ever known =^_^=
PL Principle #21 I will live in true harmony with my spouse
Enjoy the sunshine, dress up .. it is on the cool side, but remember.. LIFE IS GOOD!

Have you been naughty, have you been nice, hear that a lot around this time of year. It is all about perspective isn’t it. When someone is being naughty in someone’s view, he/she could be being very nice and totally appreciated by someone else. Perspective.
We are all so different, so unique in our own ways. That is a gift from above. The ability to be different, so that each and every one of us is blessed in an ability to enjoy and appreciate the creative expressions of others.
The Red Blacks (Canadian Football League) brought the cup home to Ottawa yesterday, they won the Grey Cup.. It is a very big deal to football fans, a huge BIG deal. Congratulations to all you die-hard fans out there.. what an exhilarating over time period it had to have been.

I am having a special party, and YOU are invited..I will be off on my broom
on the actual day of the new moon
I’ve been planning the menu for weeks
ohhhh it will be a special feast
long forgotten friends have been sought out
so you will not need to fret
help will be on hand
to welcome you in
walk up to the front door
don’t be shy, come right on in
I did do my best to get to all the rooms
but, perhaps, you shouldn’t wander too far
from the main rooms
yes on second thought
youy may want to refrain from opening closed doors
feel free to use the spa
should you need a quick fix
dinner will be served around six
I’ll do my best to sit with you
although it could get complex
I might need some time to dress
ignore the baby should he scream
after all, this is only a dream
see you on my return…. have fun, enjoy everyday!

Saturday..groan.. another morning
Dogs want to eat, I just want to sleep
ok already, I’m up
what, no coffee
some days, the world can seem weary
the trick,
treat yourself
you might still be a tad out of focus
but you CAN do it
head for the woods, hills, whatever beckons
yesterday, was yesterday
today is today
seize the day
make it yours
have a great day
I’m rooting for you..
you bet!! I LOVE you

Hi Everyone… my apologies to those of you who have joined our little “group” in the last month or so. I have been experiencing issues with Windows defender, and my security software. While away on my last trip, I noted that several new members had joined up. However when I got back home to have a look and say hello, thank you etc. Some were not to be found, and others caused problems when I tried opening them. So now I am being cautious.
I welcome you .. in time I will find a way to actually get to your blogs. Meanwhile, welcome, welcome, I look forward to getting to know what part of the blogs you enjoy the most. =^_^=
The month of October is a very creative month. In August I begin with the fall greeting cards, and doing up Thanksgiving one, and yes… I get a head start on the ghoulish and witching ones. Yet.. I do not do Halloween. Go figure, I simply like the creativity it brings out in me. I remember in the days when I did ATC* challenges, my envelopes would be decorated with tombstones, ghosts and “characters” in all shapes and sizes.
Today I was told that our cards will be sold at one of the Craft fairs, by two of our members. So here I am doing HO HO HO cards. By December I’m doing Hearts and Flowers cards, and working my way into Irish greetings.=^_^=

OH my, look at you
what on earth have you gotten into
certainly the month of October
brings out the devilish urge
to prance and dance
in outlandish attire
in full view
but really, do you remember
the hippo you?
that was years ago.
when all you knew was being a Tiny
in a world of fantasy and creativity
oh dear… oh dear
where are your clothes
a fine witches brew
you’ve gotten into
it isn’t even Hallow’s Eve
quick into the pumpkin
hide behind the pumpkin’s silly grin
what are we to do
when the full moon
comes into view
dear oh dear
I do believe we have a case
of October-itice
there are times
we can be anything we want to be
October is the month to play
to dabble
in a witches brew
come join Q
we wait for YOU
hahahaha
coming to a store near you..

and enjoy being YOU
Greetings to you on this lovely sunny day. The weather has turned a little cooler than it was last week, but I love the hint of zest, that little tang or crispness that has filtered in pinging our hardwood trees with a flirtatious kiss that starts the leaves blushing and in some case, turning crimson red.
Driving down the highway towards Orleans (Ontario) I was totally smitten by the wide sweeping colours that waved to me as I passed by. The sun was beaming down and all around me… there was pure happiness in the air.
The flowers here are Oli’s from Australia, they too are enjoying this time of year. No matter where we are on this planet.. what is that old expression… it is always after 5 pm somewhere, if not where we are. The sun works its magic wherever it is.
So do we….. PL Precept #8, live as the sun.
Music is a venue that brings friends together. tonight I will celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness at a party, the DJ always plans his events to challenge us in our knowledge of music from the past many years. His eclectic style and library of tunes, means he is “really does ‘ challenge us.. who can name this tune, what date did this come out..etc. (DJ Nick from Michigan) He will be followed by a DJ from Oklahoma (Bluelou McGrady) who with his brand of Blues will have us moving and groovin’ unable to sit still for longer than a minute, no matter our best intentions.
When we share our talents, and give freely of our time to inspire and great good times for others, happiness and friendships blossom and bloom.
The venues for these events, the first one is at Pacifique owned by the lovely Eclair Martinek, and the second event is at a down home southern bar/club Rocking the Blues complete with swamps and alligators owned by Miss Kira Wyldfire, please note, all names have been changed to protect the innocent. =^_^=
These ladies practice living their lives, walking the path of true friendships and welcoming hearts, this is reflected in the people that work with them and the audiences they attract.
We all come from different backgrounds, worlds, places, our histories are different, our lifestyles could be miles apart, but what we all have in common, is the desire to be happy, and to live peaceful and joy filled lives. We love our friends, and we cherish those who have stood by our side through thick and thin.
This is Canadian Thanksgiving, the American one is in late November, and the Church of Perfect Liberty, we celebrate Thanksgiving every month, on the 21st. We focus on gratitude, appreciation and give thanks, for all that we are, and will be and for those we love and appreciate, past and present.

another look at the side of the building I posted yesterday…
there was a house behind it, picture will be next
as a writer I would love to interview the house
have it tell me of its previous lives
of course it can’t be done, but the writer’s imagination
hankers for a story, a peak into the past
today, I’m resting my eye,
one cataract gone, the other one in October
I slept off and on all day yesterday
up to eat and have my drops
otherwise, my mind was drifting
lazily through the fertile fields
of my endless dream states
see, disco dancing @ Pacifique
Eclair in the lead

asleep or awake
life is good.
have a good one dear friends
I think I should be able to get another 24 hours of pampering
