This has to be one of my favorite times of the year . Making pierogi with my favorite sister in law for Easter dinner or coloring eggs . Along with new birth of spring I feel like they renew my spirit after a long cold winter . What are some of you favorite springtime traditions ?

Looking back on a wonderful family vacation . Nina was welcomed to touch the liberty bell . What an awesome experience , something she will never forget .

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend . Monday is here back to business . My daughter received a typewriter this weekend . She was so excited . I guess I never realized how much it bothered her that she couldn't just sit down and write something that everyone could read . She does write in Braille however she has to have it printed through a special printer something we do not have at home . She wanted something she could use to write a note to her friends, add a note to a greeting card there are so many things she can do with a typewriter . Sometimes the little things mean the most . Have a wonderful day .

Inspiration comes from the strangest places . I love the different shades of brown in this photo . I can see it becoming a future piece .
