Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Touch Up Tuesday's at the Paper Mama

The artist in me!

Remember this ?

The birds were pretty tricky...I think I may need some more practice! :)

But the class was a lot of fun!
And for some reason while painting this I had an old song playing in my head...
(it's a song by The Carpenters that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl)

"Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you"

Sugar & Spice!

This past weekend we took a drive through the beautiful hill country to a sweet Texas town called Spicewood! And boy was it nice to get away from the big city! You'll understand why after seeing these pictures! Everything about this past weekend (minus the Aggies losing to Arkansas) was perfect!
Not only did we enjoy some amazing weather...

but we also watched as these two love birds tied the knot!
