Fridays are usually bittersweet for me. It means the end of the workweek (yay!) and it also means I have to say goodbye to two my amazing children as they go to their dad's for the weekend ( awww man!) . It means I finally get precious alone time spent and alot of that time winds up being used to take care of mudane weekend tasks/chores that still need taking care of ( awww man!) .
In light of this I try to keep focused on the postive and so I'm proposing a Friday Favorites weekly post, to keep everyone's spirits up as the weekend approaches and hopefully challenge YOU to pick out your top five ( or heck, even ten) favortie things!
#1 - funky cellphone camera options
Take a look at this simple beautiful yellow gerber daisy. I played with my phone camera's options and settled on the "negative" option for this one. I thought it looked kinda funky. Here's the "normal" (aka "boring" shot)
BUT I love love love the actual color of this flower. I wish my cellphone had a better camera to capture the intensely rich yellow, it's one of my most favorite colors!
#2 - frozen blended lattes
a yummy and much needed pick-me-up during the summer to help pull me out of the mid-afternoon slump ;)
(all you awesome girls at JoJo's cafe totally rock!)
#3 - the beach

I joke that I've become a "local" in the destination resort town that I live in because the summer is half over and I've barely been the beach at all, and not even once for a swim! haha
#4 - this fun card!
The adorable card was made by my beautiful, creative mentor and friend Barb - who is one of my most favoritist people on the whole planet! Make sure you head on over to her blog to see how she made it, and for all you digital scrapbookers out there, she has lots of freebies as well as amazing elements you can buy!
#5 - These guys ;) These two are my ALL TIME FAVORITE ever! xoxo. I consider myself the luckiest, most blessed Mama on the planet to be blessed with the privilege of growing these two sweet boys into strong, compassionate men!
Ok! well I hope this inspired you keep your thoughts on all the wonderful blessings in your life as you head into the weekend.
I'm headed into the city to rescue some friends from an hour-long channel float, and then make them feed me, haha!
Hi Janice,
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks for featuring my card and your encouraging words. I'll put a link to your blog on my next post (Wednesday I believe)
I loved your singling out FIVE fave things on Friday, hmmm perhaps at some point I'll even try to list five on mine.
Yeh Yeh, I wake up every single morning too and pinch myself. I hope your time was very creative this past weekend.
Lurve ya!
