Summertime : )

OH, don't you just love the summertime? It is so wonderful to have lazy days off to kick your shoes off and pour a glass of lemonade and settle in with a good book or take off to the beach. I wish summer would last forever.

Five things that make me happy : )

1. Making homemade cards.

2.  Homemade seven layer dip.

3.  Redecorating a room.

4.  Reading a good book.

5.  Making homemade confetti.

Summer Reading List

Ok! Time to dust off those books on your bedside and get them in order. Its summer reading time! Over the next few days I will be posting some of the books I hope to read this summer and I hope you join in as well. :-)

My Dream Job

Hey there!

Long time no see! I apologize for the hide and seek game I have been playing with my blog as of late.  I recently landed my dream job! I am working for my town library. It has always been a dream of mine to work at a bookstore or library. I love it. It is one of my passions to read and to be among books. Having this job allows me to read the titles, be amongst the books and all the current happenings in the literary world. So far it has encouraged me to read more and also to read different things than I have been accustomed to. We are also getting ready to gear up for the Summer Reading Club for the children and juniors. Should be a lot of fun. I have not yet started on my Summer Reading List but I will shortly and would love for you to share yours with me. : )

Happy Reading!

A Day Off Today

Today I have a day off. Lately my days have been so full of wonderful activities and work that I have not really stopped much.
So today I declared it my official day off! Sitting here with one of my favorite movies Message in The Bottle, a Strawberry Buttercream Yankee Candle burning, and absolute bliss. It doesn't take much to please me :-)

Yesterday was pleasant as well. Got to take a rare shopping trip with my mom which was lovely and look what the Easter Bunny brought me early.

Inspired by Spring

Oh how I love Spring days! Blue skies and cool breezes, the feeling of fresh grass under my feet and the bursts of color all around. Nothing beats it. It makes me want to fill every room with fresh flowers and open all the windows. I am continuing my Spring cleaning project and it still amazes me how much stuff that seems to keep turning up! How does one deal with all the papers that seem to collect from somewhere in the unknown regions? :-)
