Today's Valentine project is inspired by my two adorable nephews. (there are 3 of them, but 1 is not quite old enough just yet to keep up with these 2 - when he is - watch out - Musketeers for sure!) The little knight in this set reminds me of them. Everything in their eyes can be turned into a 'weapon' - not in a bad way - but for whatever mission they are currently on.We were on our way to see the Pacers play just after Christmas. You can see it in their eyes. At … [Read more...] about It's a Valentine Magical Day Treat Box

Scotland Day 6 – Heading towards 'Home" through the Highlands of Glencoe
I was so happy to wake up to the glorious blue sky on Day 6 of our trip through Scotland.

Today was the day that we would not only be driving through the town where I had lived - but the building itself is now open for lunch and tea.
