Just Rambling...
Thanks for the cool comments on the blabby video post! We'll work on making it more audible (hello? couldn't hear a thing) and more interesting topics...less rambling... more light, more fun. That was just a test run. (I'd say it was very raw footage..or film lying on the cutting room floor?) We'll jazz it up, especially for you...after all, you are the best bloggers around and deserve first class video posts. I named the last post "Sunday Night Live", but it would be cool to do it each week? Not sure, Sunday nights here at our home have a fun relaxing ritual...we cook up a great dinner, turn the TV off , play a board game (usually it's 'Trouble' ) and then we make the kids homemade milkshakes (with extra chocolate syrup). It's something they look forward to each week (and takes their minds off of going back to school the next day!) I wonder if that would make a good video post? We'll see. Whatever you want, just let me know!
Love the photo above, so serene, makes me want to just curl up, rest and read a book. (or better yet, fall asleep reading a book) I'm not sure where it's from, it's been on my computer for a while. (if anyone happens to know the photographer, please let me know for credit purposes) I may need to crawl into that picture asap...lots of Wriskey™ business going on around here..."soon" is approaching fast! Combined with a few trips we have planned for business and I'm feeling tired and excited at the same time. One trip that is strictly for fun that I'm really looking forward to is the tropical getaway in March... BahamaMama here I come! I can feel the sand and sun now...excuse me while I go jump into that picture above and dream away for a while, be back in a bit!~xo

That photo is gorgeous, I wish you knew where it was from. I agree, it looks like a grea place for a nap! The beginning of the year can be such a hectic time with all of the plans we make in the last year it's nice to find a good place to relax and re-energize once in a while. As for your trip, is your suitcase big enough to fit a small person in need of a vacation?:)Thanks for the lovely photo!

Your Sunday night ritual sounds so perfect. I'm going to start something like that around my house. Our Sunday night is usually spent relaxing a bit in front of the tv, checking backpacks to make sure it's all ready for school, finishing up homework. Your Sunday nights sounds much better. Thanks for sharing. Oh by the way, I enjoyed your video. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I love the idea of Youtube type stuff on blogs! I have watched a few tutorials and have always wondered why some crafty bloggers don't get into it. Pretty pic, makes me want to crawl into bed! Nitey nite~XO~ Janet
