The morning brought chatter in and about the "Myrtle Inn", as plans were underway for a new occupant~!!
A new arrival from the land of Lickity Split...Her name is Luna Moon  .    Quiet soul,... introspective and demanded a window room so she may see the Moon and stars....
Excitement ruled...
Preparations were followed through....
And, smiles abounded as cheers rose from smiling faces...

Rest well, Luna,....Welcome home....

My thanks to the artist, Penny, at ART JOURNEY  , THANKS, Penny...

Those Primative Souls.... ~

There is just SOMETHING about those Primitive Souls that tug at my heart....like this little lady from Blue Moon Beginnings....
It is the simplicity of the personality of the doll, ....the imagination that the artist felt when first feeling the heartbeat of creation.... 
One of my goals is to embark upon creating such individuals....My inspiration came from Penny at Art Journey when I discovered her beautiful work.....And, awaiting to envelope one of her 'made with love' souls, I am anticipating jumping into the mix~!!
I have this love of dolls of all sorts....Had a huge collection at one time, but when life dealt a blow a while back, I donated most of them....*sigh*
But, my heart has made way for a new set of 'friends' to appear in my imaginary Myrtle Inn....
See you soon.....Hopefully with a walk into my imagination....!!!

Anticipated arrival.....

Out in the Wine and Hops Valley of Oregon, the souls of Myrtle Inn are awaiting a new resident that shall be arriving from the land of Lickity-Split....
There has been chattering sounds of just how this wonderful inhabitant of the Boarding House in Lickity-Split became to change abodes.....You may visit that wonderful world of Mother Murphy here Art Journey  ~
Clarence Crow,....Maybelle Cat and others eagerly await the arrival....after Myrtle Inn was the winner of the relocation~!!  Stay tuned, my friends....

It's always 3:00a.m.....just sayin'.....

Seems it is always 3:00 a.m........
Wondering why.....
Some say that it is the "witching hour", ....some say "you went to bed too early" , but insomnia rears it's ugly head for me....It is sort of an alarm clock for me to exist in a different dimension than sleep.

After I shake off the nightmares,....(some too real for forgetting)....I adjust to the room, glad to be there instead of in the aforesaid nightmare....The blue night light assures me that it will be OK to walk about, so peeling off the comforter, I find my footing on the familiar carpet, feeling that someone wants me awake to decipher their message, be it for me or someone else....

Being quiet is key....
Food is not beckoning....
Just being aware and reading or writing is what has to happen....
Reading brings a glare from the monitor that screams..."YAHOO"....And, as always, there are the headlines, some so drastic to be unbelievable....  I scan my favourites....always wanting to sneak into Facebook, ( after all, my east coast 'friends' are up with coffee~!!)

Then comes the Pinterest page, gleaming, calling my name...Overnight pins begging to put in their places...

A yawn reminds me that I have been up now for an hour...just time enough to creep down the hallway, slide under the pile of covers, and do some shut-eye for a little while....But, headlines swirl about in my brain...and, I wonder who was watching over my shoulder at the PC?

Quiet...
Sure enough,....it is the time to get up....
Now, tonight, I shall try once again, ignoring whomever insisted that I rise....
Hmmmm....3:00 a.m.

Pinterest....the wonderland of picture hoarding~!!

Yes, yes,.......I am a PINAHOLIC~!!!
I remember my first day of "addiction" as I sent a friend a picture that I thought would interest her and she thanked me and said, "Have you ever been to Pinterest"????

No,....but with link in hand, I clicked onto the page and stepped in the world of pictures that would be the 'relaxation' curse of my year~!  Ahhhhhh.....It was like picking up a crisp, new magazine....With people, food, travel and sooooooooooooo much more~!!

I was mesmerized and before long I was 'hooked' with about 10 boards of hoarding~!
I now have.....349 boards~!!

 Now I am a 'certified' Pinographer....me and thousands of others~!!  I was amazed at the membership, the types of boards, and easy it was to spend hours building a 'board' and beginning to search out my favourites......Oh, I made many mistakes at first, but I feel that I have it down 'pat'....Actually TOO 'pat'~! 

I have an "AUTUMN"  board.....

I have an "ADORNMENTS" board....

I have an "ART THAT CATCHES MY EYE" board....

All of my boards are like glossy pages of a newsstand magazine when gathered.....A lot of people make fun of us "pinners" , but it is good clean fun and relaxing refuge many times....Oh, pinners oft times question a 'pin', but generally it is better to 'pin it and not lose it'....LOL

Also..................

But, come by....give it a chance....."Bet ya' just can't pin ONE~!"  Link on page brings you to my boards....

HAPPY PINNING and BLOGGING~
