Follow The Journey...

So...the question was asked on my post Sheer Bliss, "What do you enjoy or want to see more of" here on my little blog.


I for awhile have been keeping a list and any creative thought that comes to me, writing it down. It is important to me that anyone who visits here, feels:

• Welcomed
• Inspired
• Empowered 
• Happy
• My sincerity

I love to share my thoughts, projects, family and my creativity with my readers. That gives me so much joy.

My latest find...azure blue dessert dishes. 

Not sure when they were made or where they are from...just loved them!

Thank you for your answer to my question and giving me some insight.  I know you all enjoy and want to see more; Before and Afters, DIY projects, sewing, upholstery, great finds, my boutique and more pictures of my home. 


 Well...I would say you are in the right place!  I have all of that and more in store for you. I am excited to share what's ahead on this journey...but before I do, I need to announce the winner of the Flea Market Style magazine!

Amber @{aefilkins} you were #32!! 

 I hope Amber will find Sheer Bliss as well and I just know you are going to love it!  As always...wish I had more of them to give. 


 The good news is I have heard of them filtering into stores everywhere.  If you are not a follower of Flea Market Style blog...you don't want to miss out!  I know there is a number of other blogs giving away this wonderful magazine as well, such as... Kate@Centsational Girl...love her!  There is also a post here on Flea Market Style's blog about many other blog giveaway's and where you can find their magazine.  


I love everything about this magazine and am so happy it is finally here!   Mathew Mead,  Ki Nassuer, Linda MacDonald and many other talented people did such a wonderful job in putting this together!!

Along with all of this...I am excited to tell you, I am creating another blog...all about cooking! It will be called...Victoria's Secret Recipes...as much as I have a passion for design, I love to be in the kitchen cooking something yummy for my family, friends and dinner parties.  I will be sharing a collection of my favorite recipes along with many other great ideas I have.  I can't wait to show you all what I have in mind...shhh...it's a secret. ;)

My Open Shelving in my kitchen...still lot's more to come!

 I am also very excited to be getting a special package in the mail in the next couple of days....my new Canon Rebel T1i DSLR camera!!! I am giddy and can't wait to start taking pictures. I think you will be able to tell the difference when I start posting them.  Thank you to everyone who helped in answering my question so I could make a decision.  I actually went with a step up than the one I posted on...it will be worth it!

Finally...I soon will have a new look here.  In the works, I will let you know the closer I get to having it ready.

It makes me happy to share all my ideas and hopefully inspire each and every one of my Whimsy readers to try something new. Creativity lies within all of us...we just have to reach for it. I love my readers, followers, making new friends and getting to know each of you. All of these things will soon come to be over the next several months...so join me and Follow the Journey!!
