So far this year it's been a whole lot of chaos, TONS of laughs, and even more happiness. I actually can't count all the times that I've laughed so hard I cried and, to me, that's about the best that a person can ask for!! In a weeks time we have completely transformed our house, got it listed for sale, cleaned the house from top to bottom (and by some divine miracle it's actually stayed that way!!) and been to the wedding of my god-sister Tiffany. She's planned this day from the time that we were little girls and she looked as amazing as I always thought she would! And to make this year even better, I have also managed to find some time for myself!!! I've read a book and a half, completed a painting, 2 scrapbook pages and started an art journal. The book that I read was Room - it was fantastic! Kind of a heavy topic though.
It was about a girl that was abducted at the age of 19 and was keptin captivity for 7 years. 2 years into her captivity she had a son, and this book is actually told from his point of view when he was 5. Having a 5 year old myself made it both easier to understand the way he talks but it was also harder to hear the way that he thoughtabout everything. Part way through the book they escape and it follows him into his adjustment period of living in the world he never knew existed. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!! Now I'm also part way through the book Eat, Pray, Love. OMG this woman is my new favourite author! I just love the way that she writes. I did things backwards and actually saw the movie before I read the book and the movie made me bawl like a baby and see the world though brand new eyes. Actually the movie is what inspired me to go back to my creative roots - everyone needs some pleasure in their lives! Now I just have to find the time to take pictures of all my latest creations and get them up on here!
