Things That Made Me Smile This Week On Grateful Thursday!

This is my beautiful oldest grand daughter, the one who recently went off to college at age 16. She'll be 17 this month! I have no idea how she is doing there, haven't heard, or seen anything she has written on facebook. Perhaps she is too busy studying to write on facebook? This is where I found Henry this morning. Obviously DH left his drawer open and Henry found it and decided it made a comfy bed!
I like finding shapes to photograph...
and flowers caught in spider webs
and trees that look like they are dancing... I found this big bin of leather scraps at the thrift store (my first big spend there since we switched from buying to donating.) I wonder what I can turn them into?
I am grateful
for
being
alive

    What a lovely post - your granddaughter looks so happy there! As does Henry V!! That reminds me I have a pic of one of our cats posing with a pair of underpants on his head!! (He was in the cupboard so we put them there for the photo!)
    I like the cicles photos too. What will you do with all those scraps, I wonder?

    your grandaughter has a lovely smile, loved your photos. Henry looks so comfy, leave a draw or cupboard open and a cat will find somethin to sleep on

    What a beautiful girl!!! Smart cookie too!!

    I love how cats just find what they need. The Universe seems to provide for Henry V just fine!

    Hmmm, there's no telling or guessing what you'll make from those scraps! I'm sure your muse will guide you, as always :)

    What a lovely Grand daughter. Such an infectious smile. Love that Henry. They do find interesting places to lay and they keep changing spots like out in the wild if you notice. I can see some interesting things out of that leather made by Lynn coming soon. The wheels are churning already I bet. :))

    leather bound sketch books! leather stuffed animals - I'm picturing a brown kangaroo. Don't know how to sew, don't want to and don't know how hard it would be to do....but I can picture it in my mind.
