I'm sorry

To anyone who actually might read this, I'm sorry. I have been doing Acts of Kindness, but man have I been slacking about actually sitting down to blog. So....here are a few highlights:

Today Will Be A Good Day:

It's amazing, isn't it? The power of words. It's almost as if they have the power to cast spells over us. Hear something enough, and you begin to believe it, and believe it and you begin to see it all around you. So I chose a few simple words, wrote them on pretty spring-colored card stock with scalloped edges, tied ribbon to them and attached them to:

I found these gorgeous Vicotrianesque roses on sale at City Market, and they were too beautiful not to share.






So I left a rose and a note on various windshields and doorsteps before work.








And I don't know about anyone else's day, but mine was really great.

Also in the highlights:

For friends who have been sick with icky spring colds, or who are super-stressed because this time of year always gets so busy for teachers, I have been making lavender-rose bath salts. They smell amazing and have detoxifying and relaxing properties because of the essential oils in them. I know this isn't exactly random, but I have made them for quite a few people now.











Working on the prom--not much time left, and still soooo much to do. Any one want to chaperone? :)
