Spark of Loves this Week

This Picture.

It was my first photo I took using the Instagram app on my Smart Phone.  Find me on there and let's connect!

These Blueberries.

Because they came from McDonald's and they were very tasty.

This Sign.

Because I made it and it reminds me everyday to Be Present in the moment.

This Banana.  These Birdhouses.

Because it was enough to fill me up.  And these Birdhouses because Skylar and I made them together.

These Earrings.  This Cat.

Because they were made by me and given to my mom, sister, and sister in law.  And this cat because she always poses so perfectly when I want to take a picture of her.

These Strawberries.

Because strawberries are in season right now and they taste wonderful dipped in chocolate.

This Tea.

  

Because Peace Tea is the best.

These Dresses.

Because they just represent summer so well.  Don't you think?

This Image.

Because even though I don't smoke, I snapped a shot of this during a get together.  I thought it was such a great, colorful photo.

This Rose.

Once again, the 75+ year old rose bush bloomed without fail this year.

These Pancakes.  This Snow cone.

Because I have gotten into this routine of making letters out of pancake batter.  And this snow cone because the Margarita mix that comes in a bucket makes great snow cones for kids in the summertime. (It's non-alcoholic, by the way).

This Frog.

Because Skylar brought it home from school and it's the cutest thing ever.  We let if go in our fish pond in the backyard.

These Pencils.  This Cherry Tree.

Because they are made from old newspapers.  And this cherry tree because I will miss it when I am gone.  I snagged some seeds from the tree, here's hoping they take and produce our own tree in Arkansas.

These Beer.

Because it made my day and it was much needed after a long day of working.

This Machine.

Because I had one when i was growing up and I stumbled across it when I was shopping for vintage penny machines.  It looks great filled to the top with colorful gumballs.

This Sticker.

Because I just have to support the HOGS even in Oregon.

Eco-Tip:  Go with unprocessed and un-packaged food whenever you can.  Eating food that has zero processing is a great way to eat healthier too.  And food that doesn't come in a package is a great way to help cut down on paper and plastic waste.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.

A Father's Day wonderful day

We had a great Father's Day weekend here at our house.  Skylar and I spent the day putting together Father's Day goodies jars for Papa (my dad), Grandpa (Jeff's dad), and John.  Jeff's was a bit different and given to him right away, but the others had to be mailed or driven to the others.  Everyone loved their goodies jars, but John won't get his until he gets here in September.  We waited so we could take it on our trip back to Arkansas and munch on it on the way.

You can make these labels too with the printable through Popsicle Blog HERE!  Or click here to get the PDF file to print right away!  

Jeff got a large spatula as a Father's Day gag gift, but it backfired on Skylar and me because he actually really liked it. Ha!

To this kid, the guy is super dad!

Happy Father's Day!

Eco-Tip:  Remember hand-made gifts go a lot further with appreciation than store bought gifts.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me:  Go Green.

This Flower.  This Drink.

Because it's the last tulip in the flowerbed still holding on.  And this drink because it made this little boy's day.

This Picture.  These Chickens.

Because Skylar drew it for me.  And these chickens because they were pretty and white.

This Symbol.  These Words.

Because it's the symbol for OM and I love it.  And these words for the fact that the public school system for Skylar is over for awhile.

This Envelope.  This Picture.

Because it traveled all the way from Latvia.  And this picture because it rocks.

These Clothes.  This Drink.

Because Skylar made it look as if he vanished into thin air.  And this drink because it was a big let down that they put my hot latte in a Styrofoam cup.  Who does that?

This Sewing Machine.  These Poppies.

Because I let it go.  And these poppies because they are every where right now.

This Craft.

Because it was fun to make.

Because I looked really hard to find one with four leaves.

This Mirror.

Because someone broke it and it got replaced with a better one.

Because they were yummy and the perfect addition for a get together we had recently.

Eco-Tip:  This summer be sure and regulate the sprinkler system at your home.  Remember, only 2-inches of water is needed to water the grass each day.  Anymore than that and it's a waste.  For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
