mothers day and may...

already the beginning of may...
where did april go?

i feel like i have been all over the place.

did i tell you that i went to children's writing workshop
and how absolutely fantastic it was!
i left feeling excited and inspired and full of ideas...
there was a lot of talk around the process of writing your piece
then going back through and marking "scenes"
then using those markers to create storyboards...
and i found that this made me feel really excited...
like i could picture it coming together.

i also went to another workshop this weekend on
writing to surprise yourself...
the basis of this was the use of prompts
{which i love} and different tools you can use when
 you are just getting started or
feel stuck...
i came away from that one also excited and inspired...

other than that, the weekend has been busy
with family get togethers
and birthday partys
lots of card making
and going through old photo albums
and sharing lost stories...
meeting new relatives
and watching my kids interact on their own
so grown up, so capable...
ice cream and onion rings at the dairy bar
garden shopping and plant pruning...


things have been good, very very good...


and now i am looking forward to my first photo sessions of this season
as well as this e-course...i can't wait {squeal}
and to an upcoming workshop with this author
and a chance to meet this blogger...


may will be sweet, i can feel it in my bones.
