my afternoon

Yesterday afternoon I was babysitting my two little friends again...this time they brought along their little horses to play with in my living room. There was a general trying-on-all-of-my-vintage-aprons party (which was adorable). I had a few minutes to sit cross legged on my kitchen floor, listen to the classical radio station, and put together a couple of collages in one of my notebooks. I went through the stack of magazines that I had here earlier this week and tore out any little picture that I would want for a collage (not the majority of what was in there!) and I found enough for a few more pages in my notebooks. :)

All three of us had a yummy afternoon snack of banana bread...mine with the addition of a cup of lukewarm black coffee. I decided that I definitely prefer my coffee hot and with cream in it...;)

Here are the pages of my notebook...they're just a right-brained collection of pictures representing things that I love (kind of like this blog!). You'll notice a reoccurring theme...kitchen, home, hearth, home-making. I am so thankful that God not only gives us commandments to be keepers at home, but also provides great JOY and fulfillment in doing it!
