The Path Unwinding

At first sight, this piece took my breath away. It summarizes what I have learned through the winding road of my own path in life and still have to remind myself of everyday. I have wonderful people in my life who remind me of everything this labyrinth says. They made me realize that I am somebody. What I have been through is what makes me special. It makes me the person I am today. This journey is my own, nobody can do this for me...I am in charge. This wonderful piece of art work certainly does what those people did for me, without the painful conversations :) I am thankful for them everyday!!

This piece is not just beautiful, but also an inspiring one. It brings peace to my aching soul just thinking about running my fingers through it. Find this at www.jmliss.etsy.com

Sunset

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.
G.K. Chesterton

These lovely sunset pictures were taken during our Spring Break last April. I found them to be peaceful and more beautiful than I remembered it to be.

Great Stuff I Found on Etsy

This beautiful baby swing reminded me of my own childhood. My mother used to hang a long piece of material, in Indonesia we call it selendang, through the ceiling beam to swing us to sleep. Well, this is a great version of it. I am sure it works much better and easier than my mom's. Plus, it functions as a hammock for your bigger kids as well. Found it at: http://robynas.etsy.com

Opinion???

What do you think this should be? Double wrapped bracelet or a necklace?

I have made it to the Front Page of Etsy!

FINALLY!! I can hardly believe it!
Thanks Ira for letting me know :)
