Friday Finds . . .

A few of the wow moments and things that I find each week that tickle my fancy.  I hope that some of them might tickle yours also!






















I found a tutorial online several weeks back by Tracey Fletcher King.    It was a water colour demonstration on how she does her paintings and she painted some carrots to show some of her techniques.   I wanted to try it out and I had a chance to yesterday afternoon!  This is my result!  I am quite happy with it!  If you have an inner painter struggling to get out, I highly recommend!  She's an Australian artist and a cancer survivor.

A thought to carry with you through today  . . .


❥✻❥.¸¸.✿¨¯`❥✻❥¸¸.✿¨¯`❥✻❥.¸¸.✿¨¯`❥✻❥
Down in the dumps?  Then consider
There's sunshine to follow the rain.
And after defeat, if you keep on your feet,
There's some little triumph again.
Remember, when ready to sigh,
There's always a star in the sky!

  2. That's a good deal Sybil! We will have to look into that! I am so tired today, not sure why. Just am. We had the Missionary Sisters for supper last night. I just did burgers, salads and a store bought berry cheesecake from Aldi. I know bad me! We had a meeting at the chapel afterwards with all of the Ward Missionaries and of course us full time missionaries! (Love saying that!) This week has been somewhat quiet mission wise, just getting our toes wet, Wait til next week when it will be full on! xoxo

    Thanks Suzan! Enjoy your evening! xoxo

  5. Oh I really enjoyed your Friday finds today, Marie.
    My husband and I are thinking about redoing our kitchen area; so we liked looking at this link.
    I also liked the meal planning idea using pinterest. We are getting ready to retire and I need to be a little more careful with shopping and I think that will take some more meal planning.
    The 12 home remedies was great too.
    Best of all I loved your painting of carrots. You really are a great artist.
    Love, blessings and hugs~
