What’s the Meaning of This?
I Can See Clearly Now
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt word — Insight.
When I first learned of today’s prompt word, I stumbled around in the dark for a while, cursed a bit, thought I had an idea but wasn’t sure; thought I had better do a quick internet search just to reassure myself, and then BINGO! It came to me. Read more
My Eyes Adore You
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge — All-Time Favorites
Here is my contribution to the last ever WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge. I never thought I would come to love this Challenge so much. Thank you to WordPress for hosting this challenge which has given me such creative inspiration since last October.
It goes without saying that I adore my family the most. But beyond my family, there are a couple of true loves that I would like to share with you to end this journey. Read more
Crafty People Do The Twist
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge — Twisted
Since the Weekly Photo Challenge is to be discontinued, I thought I should put in an entry this week. I had no idea when starting my blog that I would enjoy the WordPress Weekly Challenge so much. I will miss it, but I will just have to be brave and jump into some of the other photo challenges every now and then.

Collective Narcissism
WordPress Daily Prompt — Narcissism

Going With The Flow
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge — Liquid
The theme for the WordPress Weekly Challenge theme is “liquid”. In responding to the Challenge, my main criterion was that the focus of the photo should be on the water/liquid rather than on the other elements within the photo.

What do you think is the main focus of each of the photos? Read more

All Sunshine and No Rain Makes A Desert
The delightful Pauline from Living in Paradise has invited me to take part in a 3-day Quote Challenge. I’ve made it to Day 3. Yay! You can see my Day 1 quote post here and my Day 2 quote post here. Instead of a final quote, I am going to finish off with a proverb. You know what it is already, because I have used it as the title of this post:
