Hi friends!!! I’ve been in such a happiness whirlwind for the last 2 weeks! Between vacation, celebrating my birthday and attending my friend’s wedding I desperately needed the time off from made-to-travel. But, I have to say I missed it and YOU!
The above picture I took on the Sunday drive back from Buffalo, NY where I attended a dear friend’s wedding. I love love love the sentiment of this quote. I think it’s a succinct way of reminding me not to fret too much about the future or dwell too much on the past…right here and now is what matters and I need to embrace and enjoy the now always.
Sooooo first order of business!!!
The winner of MarketPlace: Handwork of India Giveaway!!!

Now one of the big big reasons I Heart the Internet is because of the wonderful and talented people I’ve gotten to meet and “meet”. The ladies below have done a really tremendous job of guest posting while I was a flurry of activity and I am so grateful for their time, energy and thoughtfulness.
