A little and a lot...x

Well,  it's been two merry weeks since 
I've been here in blog ~ a sphere.
~ And I must confess I missed you all
dreadfully.

Thank you for all your kind wishes 
for miss Olivia.
I gathered them all up and placed them in her 
"Wish box".
As you know we have been journeying here and there on the motor ways
~ and visiting places of  exciting opportunities on the University front.
~ But all good things take time to come to fruition so we will keep our fingers and toes crossed....
And
 ' What will be will be'.

Today I'm in my'' Happy Place'!
Here, at home.
  Stepping back and 
thanking my 'twinkly stars' above
that I can just be for a little while..
The weathers jolly well pulled it's socks up too!
And this makes for the best ~est springy days to come.
~ My most favourite time of year...
Rebirth and new beginnings and all..
I simply can't wait to take a stroll and see
those baby lambies with their little woolly jackets!
I'm a thinking Spring is around the very next corner....
And that in it's self brings me much joy!!!

~ Later on I will popping on the kettle and catching up
with you all...
~ 
But for now...
as promised
I am having a little give away...

~ 
And this little dolly made of wood,
 wishing the sweetest sentiment caught my eye in the shop..
Perfect, I thought!
If you would like to be included..
Please just leave a word or two..
And tell me.
" What makes your heart smile"
 right now....

Miss Olivia will draw the winner
from my 'cloche ~hat' of course
next week!

" Best-est Luck to you all"...

I would just like to add...Despite my busy bee days .
Please know that I really, really appreciate
that you pop into my little corner of blog~ land 
and leave the kindest 
'Twinkly words'
******
And I am wishing your week to be a happy kind of one....
Love Maria .

Taking Time To Dream....

I'm going to be quiet for a little while...

~ May be just a week or two..

I have a calender just now that is bursting at all seams..

But all is well.

Busy Bee days...

Miss Olivia is viewing her choice in universities, you see..

And it seems my days off will be taken for a little while.
~ It only seems yesterday we viewed these with Dean.
Ooh my time flies ever so quickly...
I want to shout out some times..
"Slow down please...I just can't keep up"!
he-he...

But I'll be back before you know it...
I'm just taking time out to dream a little...
~ 

Please keep well till I return....

Because you  really are the nicest of peeps!

Thank you for kindest comments on my last post, too!

They meant an awful lot...

Toddle ~ pip

just for now...
I'm missing you already!

Love and hugs

Feeling Like Twitterpating...

Valentine true love folk lore..

'On Valentines day if a woman see's a robin

flying overhead she will marry a sailor.

If she see's a sparrow or two she will be happy but 

marry a poor man.

If however, it is a goldfinch she see's 

she will marry a millionaire'...

This very romantic week see's this little old blog

of mine...

~ being two years old.

I wonder just how that happened? 

Of course I had been reading and falling in love

with blog land for all the years that

I nursed my Mama  on her very long journey

with Alzheimer's disease..

"I must confess to breaking my' rosey tinted spec's' a number of times
 in those seven years"...
Ooh my.
~ My heart being at it's most heaviest in those sad days..
But time is a great healer and they did repair once again.
To wear with pride.

~ And I would like to say quite simply

" Thank you"!

For being my friends on here from
 far, far away...

It's been a little place for ramblings....

~ and a corner of my very own for

 putting feelings into words and pretty pictures..

Some times for healing sake.

But usually for merriment..

And I'm giddy with gratitude about the friendships 

I've made on here...

~ I always try with all my heart to 

be Rosey tinted..

I'm a 'glass half full ' person 

you see..

Always have been!

I will be having a  little give away in my very next post....

As a way of showing gratitude...

~ Some thing special I think chosen from Bumble Bee, maybe?
I will pop on my thinking cap!

~ And for those folks with ' Twitterpating' at

the forefront of their minds on

Friday...

I would like to leave them with this.. 

The most romantic scene from of course,

 Bambi..

( My favourite Disney movie of all time)

Have a day full to the very brim of

' Twitterpating', on Friday...

won't you?

Hugs and kisses

Maria x

PS...I am thinking  with all my heart, about those affected by the dreadful rainfall....

'Be' safe and keep cosy, my friends...
