December Reflections - 2019

The good news is I have a lot more transcription lately and I am busy in the studio getting ready for one more show this weekend.  The bad news is that I am not having time to post here daily.  I am keeping up pretty much with the December Reflection posts on Instagram so if you don't follow me there, you should! 

For December 2 the prompt was Sparkle.  I used a sampling of my bling-bling.  I use these treasures on all kinds of projects. 





Day 3 was Best day of 2019.  I've had a lot of really great days but I guess one of the most interesting ones was the day we picked out our Benny.  This is a picture my hubby took of him recently when they went to the park.  Isn't he cute?




Day 4 was white and I didn't post anything but I guess I could say, "See above."

Today is Favorite book of 2019.  I've read 32 books so far and I have to say that the books on Freddie Mercury and Phil Collins were the at the top of the list. 

Also the books from my friend, James J. Cudney.  Kind of special saying I know the author! 

 I am @scr4pl80 (stands for scrap lady) on Instagram if you want to follow me there.  #decemberreflections2019 is the tag.   Tomorrow is Angel.  Maybe I'll take a selfie 😂

August Break - 2019 - Favorite Smell

Day 14 is "Favorite Smell" and while I don't wear perfume regularly, I used to like White Musk.  My favorite smell now though is this Marshmallow Body Powder from Urban Decay.

It comes with this pretty purple pillow puff that is really soft.  You just shake a little on

and smooth it over your skin.  I put it on my forearm.

It looks sparklier in real life and it smells so delicious.

As the container clearly states, however, while you can lick it, it is not a food substitute.  

Disclaimer, my forearm is not usually where I put it 😇😜

I also love the smell of vanilla and fresh baked bread and donuts!  What's your favorite smell?

Recapping my last four pictures:

#24:  This is the last remnant of Christmas cheer.  A peppermint candle and a little drummer boy.  I love the way these things look together.  Makes me feel relaxed.  Love the minty smell!

#25:   I got Bill a gift card to the new Dave and Buster's they opened in our area.  He took his friend, Mike, and they played some games for a while.  Turns out Wednesdays is half price day on the games.  Oh how nice it is to be retired and able to do that kind of stuff in the middle of the day.  Nice for me too since I work from home and with them out of the house I had some peace and quiet!  Bill won enough tickets to get me this color me mug.  Such a great guy!  

#26:  I got myself some cool slippers.  I love the way they sparkle when the sun hits them.  If you look closely you can see the reflection on the carpet and on my right foot.  Simple things amuse me.

#27:    I got this plain wood word at Target the other day and wanted to see what I could do with it.  I had some paper that was black and white marbled and I tried this out.  I kind of like it.

I'm gonna live with it a couple of days before I secure everything down.  I have some other paper that is variegated in pink and white, but it has a bit of brown running through it too and I'm not sure I feel that.  I think the black stands out more.  What do you think?
