Top Three from Be Inspired, and a little Potting Shed fun

It just so happens that Mary has the top viewed post from last week, but she also is one of my very favorite places for inspiration. Since building her Potting Shed this year, she's had a brand new (but looks old) place to putter. Here are just a few photos from this last year that prove that whatever the time of year, Mary knows how to inspire with elaborate tablescaping, delicious food, beautiful vignettes, flowers and birds of all kinds, and some of the most wonderful photo shoots in blogland.

 Thank you Mary, for always "bringint it" to the party.

You have been such an inspiration to me this year!

Here are the other two in the Top Three for this last week

Thank you ladies!!!

A "Word" for the New Year

Some of you may know this, others of you that are new over here, may not. I have another little blog where I share more of "me". It's a place where I share my thoughts on life, and God, and on our relationship with Him. I like to say "it's not your grandmother's Bible Study.", because it's real, and it's relevant, and hopefully not "preachy". Just some insight from God's Word for our daily lives.

I'd been away from it for six months due to my husband's illness, but God has been nudging me this last week to post. So, I'm just letting you know that I'm still posting over there, even though I've been on "break" for awhile. If you read my post here on Common Ground about "The year that was...2012", then I share some of those thoughts on this first post of the New Year. This is just a little invitation, hope you'll come by and get to know who I am on a little deeper level. I have a whole other life than taking pictures of pretty little things.

"a day in the life..."

I'm sharing this post at The Lettered Cottage
