"On a different note I have been linked for the first time! Thankyou Kathleen from Liquid Sky Arts for your kind words and for adding me as a "crafty person" on your beautiful site! You're my first! Hahahahaha!"

Here is a post on why I decided to call my site Sweetpeas...lots of matrimonial love going on!

This and this are 2 of my favorite posts....brings back the fondest of memories!

There's plenty of family love to go around....A picture of my babies! Nieces and nephews galore....Sam, Gabe, Emma, Beth & the kids. A wonderful day spent cruizing on the Damariscotta River with my little sister, soon after she moved home from the D.R. And special birthday wishes to my Mom.

I discoverd that I'm a bit of a show off at times. Pictures of my garden and painted furniture crop up all over the place!

An ongoing project that has had me excited and overwhelmed...(now I'm just starting to get plain' ole excited).....

"Once the furniture is sanded and primed it will all be piled up into the chicken coop. Imagine....*Jes steps out into the yard and opens the door to the old chicken coop where there is a fine selection of sanded & primed furniture for her to choose from. What strikes my fancy today? Old World Italian on that desk? Cottage Chic flowers on that headboard? Mosaic tiles on that coffee table? And carries her piece a short distance across the yard into her new work space! Work space is filled with country cupboards, a newly upholstered couch, recycled work table, etc. etc. etc.* You see? THIS is why I try not to get too excited....I get WAY ahead of myself! (though I really do have the cupboards, couch....ALL the furnishings I'll need) (being in the antique & painted furniture business I have a ready supply at my disposal!)"

Yes...I can be very exciteable at times.

Well, it's been a great year meeting all of you girls! (you know who you are). We have started Collective Souls, participated in a Gifty program, got down to the knitty gritty, planning projects and adventures and shared our love of Maine together. It has been wonderful to hear all of your stories...and I am looking forward to another year of Bloggy Bliss with you all!

Why I am happy lately:

It's officially SPRING and it's headed this way.

My Hubby!

Going to Goergia Wednesday!

I had my hair chopped off!!

The walls are going up!

I have always had a love affair with Converse Sneaks...check out my new pair!

This will probably be my last post before I leave, though I may find time to sneak in a post while I'm in Georgia. I'll be back next Tuesday!

Collective Souls...I did not send the addies out to everyone this time, seeing that a lot of us all ready have them, but if you need the addy to the next person on the list, just email me! I think that Rachel will be sending "Believe" off to Karen soon, and "Spring Fling" has made it to Marieke. Yippee!!

Have a great week and ~hugs~
