pretty junk for a happier day

Here are some of the things that are making me very happy right now...the insect specimen and faerie are valentine presents from my eldest. So pretty! The bug is an adult doodlebug/ant lion. I had no idea that they grew up to be lovely winged flyers! The faerie is just so shiny and wonderful that it makes me smile just to look at it. I love my son! Next is the "La Vie En Rose" goatmilk soap i made over the weekend...it is the only creative thing i managed to accomplish, alas. The soap IS very nice, however, so i can't complain too much.

And Here's a big pile of creative chaos....i seem to work best when i am confronted with a big pile of pretty messy junkiness. Blogger is making all my photos look weird and pixelated...this in combination with the fact that it has eaten a few of my posts is beginng to annoy me. i wish that i was more techinical so i could figure this stuff out for myself. grrrr. Just going to have to wait til the Mister is in the mood to help i suppose. Until then, please bear with my ugly blog. :P
