♥ Loving paper cranes

I've long admired the art of origami and I guess the purest form of that to me is the paper crane. A sweet little package of perfection and hope.

Sandy and the 1000 paper cranes is a sweet little blog and adventure. Sandy plans to make 1000 paper cranes and leave them wherever she goes for others to delight in. The cranes each carry an inspirational word to give a delightful pause in the finder's day. My favourite word so far (she is up to 160 cranes as I write) is 'Giddy'. But I also like Radiant, Quaint, Thankful and good old Joy, Happy and Thankful.




What's your favourite word of inspiration?

Slowing down...




The past couple of weeks we have really slowed down...it's been so nice to relax in the garden, create and craft with bits that we have found in the park, the beach or at the local $2 shop. I have been spending a lot of time at home re-organising books, toys, and craft supplies in a way that makes them more functional and user friendly. Today at the beach we collected and also thrifted some wonderful items at a garage sale...exciting treasures for the house. I am thinking it is only 12 weeks until Christmas. I just love the festive season and can't wait to pull out my favorite red and white fabrics, ribbons and decorations. This year I want to make mini bunting to wrap around our tree out of lovely fabrics that i have been collecting. So for now, slowing down and smelling the flowers is nice ... before the festive season really kicks things up a notch.

This Saturday I'm grateful for... MILs


Here in Maxabellaland, Saturday is traditionally a sport, shop, sort the clothes, sweep the floors, strangle the Tsunamis (insert other 's' words here - no pun intended) kinda day. But it's nice to pause to appreciate the things in your life that are positive and affirming, whatever they may be. I thought it might be nice for us all to do a Saturday Grateful post and link up for lovely bloggy visits.


This Saturday I'm grateful for...

1. Maria's cannelloni. One of the great benefits of being married to an Italian is his mama's home cooking. LOML's mama makes the best ricotta and spinach canelloni and guess who's going there for dinner tonight?

2. My drip irrigation system. I am watering the garden right now. Look at me watering.

3. Tuckshops. There is a place on earth where you can still buy something for 20c.


What's making you smile today? Sign up to the linky and enjoy visiting other grateful bloggers today.
