Here we go again with the start of another New Year. I thought you would all like to see a few of the new necklaces.</div>

This cardinal and chickadee necklace is double sided. The darling little pine cone charm can be flipped from the front to the back no matter which bird you want on the front.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I am so excited about the berries in the yard. They are all starting to pop into some yum, yum, yummy berry goodness. The raspberries have been here now for 3 years. I brought some wonderful little transplants from my moms house. We just planted the Blackberries and 3 different types of Blueberries this year. The new ones don't have much but I am excited about every last one. </span></div>

The Fuji is a Dwarf that was already about 6 feet tall and we got it for a steal. It was on sale at Home Depot for only $14.98. Already they consider this the end of the season, that's okay, I'll take it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Growing our own food can be work but we are trying to add things to the yard that we will have around for years to come. I love the idea of walking out in my yard and grabbing a piece of the fruit. And with 4 kids and the price of food, it is a great investment in our health as well as our financial future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So just a quick hello to the world. Today my son was a Leaf Cutting Ant in the Rain Forest. He is in the top pic in the center and my daughter started her first real job. She has done all of the girly things over the years like babysitting but this is the real deal with paychecks and everything. The funniest part was when she found out that what you get paid an hour is not what you take home. The look on her face was priceless.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well the thunderstorms are starting so I better hit publish and get off the web for now!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Many years ago I was given a few of my Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers peonies. My mother had a couple in her yard and my great aunt(grams sister) had some in hers. Unfortunately, about 13 years ago I had to move from the home. I had transplanted them there and my wonderful parents where kind enough to dig them up and adopt them for me until I landed in my home. In the moving here and there we had many roots multiplied so we where lucky enough to separate them again and have more. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaqBWD5DoxeKv-KhzY4dsvbhSKjT9h-hKOxff3rNCoZ_I_YhdyxZDzuA_cDjOQrG3KLcV89pBN6ekXb4xEacKQUq1pGpTUykhpIWnG8ecqtS5u34_81SgpCBZaC4S_z1JLfwyOjBWJaXw/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" rba="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaqBWD5DoxeKv-KhzY4dsvbhSKjT9h-hKOxff3rNCoZ_I_YhdyxZDzuA_cDjOQrG3KLcV89pBN6ekXb4xEacKQUq1pGpTUykhpIWnG8ecqtS5u34_81SgpCBZaC4S_z1JLfwyOjBWJaXw/s320/012.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">But when I moved this plant you could tell it was very old. The root system was giant. As I walked across the yard to place it in its new home I realized that my grandmother had one day long ago, planted these peonies just as I was. In my hands was something that she so lovingly took care of and I wanted to do the same. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Now I know that everyone has something passed down like a wonderful vase or a beautiful tea cup and that is very important. But the fact that I am the third generation to take care and grow these plants every year seems to me to be very special. Just like my Grandmother was to me!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have been working like a crazy person on the new line of jewelry that features my prints. I am trying to design and build as quick as I can before the kids finish school for the year. Above are a couple of great ones. First is a travel poster and the second, the face of Les Miserables which is coming out as a movie shortly.</span></div>

It was Morgans last because she is a senior so that was bitter sweat. But Josh still has a couple more years of this fun. How exciting. They all look fabulous and it is a moment in time that I will not forget. </span></div>

When ever I get a new (old) book, I like to take a minute to look it over. I like to see what is inside. The condition it was left in by the original owner. I love running into the occasional note or pressed flower. It gives you a real since that it truly meant something to someone at a time that has gone by.</p><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZ-CoWRewj-516ZgUee1oTGUHv3mEA-sdmd8s0lIUMfq78h0Ajvh2i7KvSsCpvWhn59oo3b-2tG6ZcPTulc8qjDBAuiFId6IS_gyH3vCvU54Nz1oTb6VprK5LqePzu38JpQRPChKyEHE/s1600/zzzzzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zzzzzz.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 324px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667882711706708754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZ-CoWRewj-516ZgUee1oTGUHv3mEA-sdmd8s0lIUMfq78h0Ajvh2i7KvSsCpvWhn59oo3b-2tG6ZcPTulc8qjDBAuiFId6IS_gyH3vCvU54Nz1oTb6VprK5LqePzu38JpQRPChKyEHE/s400/zzzzzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zzzzzz.jpg" /></a> </p><br /><p align="center">Today was the two atlas hard cover books that just arrived. I opened up the larger of the two and it went from being a simple old book that I was going to use as the base to all of my creations, and turned into a walk down a lane that I never took the time to think about before.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipAIawivAvsaXFw3O8eeFxDUyVB1hD9Go_lV5666ZaG2xiZnVRUkQXKoKgmgXVDqA-ikEPT3VDxtSNWnsko-ODah8EQxRI8-gtnMBD7jf2F0Rmlw1YKsrK9GA94ZH1yp5az6NMeIJAig/s1600/zzz-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z---ZZZZzzzzz.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 324px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667882569596625554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgipAIawivAvsaXFw3O8eeFxDUyVB1hD9Go_lV5666ZaG2xiZnVRUkQXKoKgmgXVDqA-ikEPT3VDxtSNWnsko-ODah8EQxRI8-gtnMBD7jf2F0Rmlw1YKsrK9GA94ZH1yp5az6NMeIJAig/s400/zzz-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z---ZZZZzzzzz.jpg" /></a><br />As I turned the pages I found myself saying..."I've sent one there, I've sent another one there" and so on. So I went and got piece of paper and decided to start a quick list and see at least a few of the places my work has traveled to. OMG....The list brought a smile to my face that I could not believe. And then I realized, like how haven't I already realized this, but can you truly imagine that some day your creations would be hanging all over the world? Well mine are and I am giving myself the moment to be so proud of this. So to all of those people that think I sit around all day and do nothing because they have no idea my wonderful hubby created a studio for me, these are some of the countries around the world that my work hangs in. Not bad for the artist in the country!</p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">USA(FROM SEA TO SHINNING SEA) GREECE RUSSIA POLAND</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">FINLAND SWEDEN NORWAY GERMANY</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">IRELAND ITALY FRANCE CANADA</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">CHINA JAPAN ENGLAND SCOTLAND</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">BELGIUM AUSTRIA SWITZERLAND NETHERLANDS</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">DENMARK SPAIN MEXICO HUNGARY</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">TURKEY MOROCCO THAILAND KOREA</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">INDIA AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND BRAZIL</span></p><br /><p align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;">PERU CHILE VENEZUELA MADAGASCAR</span></p><br /><p align="left">I am sure there are many I left out but even this list leaves me tickled pink.

I was never a package label reader but my husband is. So this weeks recipe is for something simple that I am sure, like me, many of you probably have never paid much <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">attention</span> to, croutons. My boys LOVE <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Cesar</span> salad. So croutons are used around here weekly. But if I am eating these little tan cubes of bread, why is red dye#40 and yellow dye #5 in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ingredients</span>. Nothing looks red to me, plus when I went to the market, there was not a bottle of red dye #40 for me to add to my own homemade croutons so I needed to find a different recipe I guess...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">lol</span>!</p><br /><p align="center">So here is my great recipe for croutons. The entire house loved them and you know what....no <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">preservatives</span>, yes world, it is possible!</p><br /><ul><br /><li><br /><div align="left">5 Thick Slices of Bread</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">2 Tablespoons Butter</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">1/4 Cup <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Parm</span> Cheese</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">1/2 Teaspoon Oregano Crumbled</div></li><br /><li><br /><div align="left">1/2 Teaspoon Thyme Crumbled </div></li></ul><br /><p align="left">Preheat oven to 300</p><br /><p align="left">Cube bread. In a large saucepan combine butter, <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">EVOO</span>, garlic and melt without burning it melts quick. Remove from heat, add herbs and stir. Add cubed bread and mix to cover all of the bread. Transfer to 9 x 13 and sprinkle with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">parm</span> cheese. Bake for 40 minutes. I stirred them every ten minutes are so for even cooking. I also added a little more <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">EVOO</span> before I put the pan in the oven because I used a very thick bread so you may want to do that is needed.</p><br /><p align="left">And it is that simple to know what you are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">eating</span>. We used some that night and put the rest in a freezer bag.

<br />
<br /><p align="center">WELCOME SEPTEMBER! Yes it is true, there is a little bite in the air which can only mean one thing....September is here. I have spent the last two months watching kids slowly get out of bed everyday, but now it is almost time for the craziness of school days to start again. I love this time of the year. I have always thought that I was born in August just so I could be around to enjoy the fall. I LOVE the fall. Everything from cool nights to pumpkins and mums at every turn. I was made for the fall, it inspires me in so many ways.</p>
<br />
<br /><p align="center">So here is some of my recent inspirations. I love collage. The layering, the way different images play off one another, I have become totally <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">obsessed</span>. It has this great french market kind of feel that I long to see in real life and I will someday. But for now I will keep creating it.</p>
<br />
<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQlM97i-7kEA-6eFqZVy7IUeE5EGCkT7ScgG5V8nlIBGR2InQ3OFCg0RVUTBkEB3FFGwWOLyOV0a9yTTYUhlUwB_OfPqzzDSqSiI2kUx2-PKhIp8V4GzCd05fwSWQvBLsCztVNXBaU5hU/s1600/021.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 341px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647342920822649074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQlM97i-7kEA-6eFqZVy7IUeE5EGCkT7ScgG5V8nlIBGR2InQ3OFCg0RVUTBkEB3FFGwWOLyOV0a9yTTYUhlUwB_OfPqzzDSqSiI2kUx2-PKhIp8V4GzCd05fwSWQvBLsCztVNXBaU5hU/s400/021.JPG" /></a>
<br />And hydrangeas have entered my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">personal</span> gardens in a big way this summer. I added some along the side of the house that are so beautiful. I added a bunch of them to a wreath in the family room that looks terrific.</div>
<br />
<br /><div align="center">So what do you think of my new prints. They go along with a bunch of other that can be seen <a href="http://www.winterberrycottage.etsy.com/"><span style="color:#3366ff;">HERE </span></a></div>
<br />
<br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="color:#000000;">I have been building a large grouping lately. They have been inspired too by the fact that I want prints for my house that I am just not seeing out there and these Vintage Book Page prints are really a passion of mine.</span></span></div>
<br />
<br /><div align="center">Well it is time to get the big kids up. The local County Fair started yesterday and they both have jobs there again this year so they need to get to work. Hope you all enjoy my creations and I would love to here what you think!</div>

He is a JOY to have in our life. We are very, very lucky because we have a wonderful support system that have taught him so much. </p><br /><p>When he was first diagnosed, I had such mixed emotions on what was going to happen next. This was not my first major diagnoses. When my oldest was 6 she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Yup, a lot of why <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">me's</span> where going round and round in my head. So here are the feelings of a mother that was relieved because she finally had some answers, but sadden because all of the sudden she could not picture what life had in store for our family next.....</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">A </span></strong>child melts down</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">S</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">adness</span> hits a mother hard</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">P</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">eople</span> don't understand why my child is like this</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">E</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">veryone</span> stairs when he looses control</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">R</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">eality</span> hits a mother harder</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">G</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">entle</span> hands hold on tight</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">E</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">veryone</span> wonders how I am holding it together </p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">R</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">ight</span> now I don't know</p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">S</span></strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">omeday</span> I will be the one that helps him defeat this </p><br /><p>So that is my little poem. I would love to know what you think. This challenge for us seemed at first to be the biggest hill I have ever climbed. But then I realized, this might be part of what makes this wonderful little boy so amazing.

A wonderful doc basically lied to the hospital to the staff so they would give her the medication to stop labor. Meg's mom laid in the hospital for 10 weeks until she just couldn't wait anymore and decided to show her beautiful face to the world.

This was this morning just as the sun was coming up at the other end of the pond. I sometimes think Valentines is for so many other things you love beside your other half. I have such passion for so many things in my life including my husband and our section of Earth is one of them. I 110% LOVE it here. The yard makes me truly feel like I am finally at home. We have been here for 4 years now and it seems like that started just 4 days ago. This is the place that all of those things that are important in life can happen. Parties, holidays and many other gatherings. This house is on the piece of land where someday we may meet in-laws and grandchildren. </p><p align="center">So why did I choose my backyard to talk about this Valentines Day? That is simple. This is where it is at. If it is true that love is always with you, then this is what love looks like to me. Where I will make memories with the 5 most important people in the world to me. Because lets face it, so many of the things we do are because of how we are raised. And since I choose to raise these four souls here then this is where my heart is. This is where any of them can come home to someday and know that this is total <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sanctuary</span>. This is where you are loved no matter what and accepted for all of your flaws and triumphs in life. </p><p align="center">Love can be romantic, love can be a dream come true. But in this house love is the only thing you should know for sure when you walk in the door or down to the pond. No matter what, love can always be found here.
