Renaissance Fair

Audree made all of our costumes and I made all of our hats! And I sold the 3 hats I had with me to a vendor at the fair who wants 20 more for a Ren Fair in Colorado in June & July!! Whoo Hoo! And And she would have bought all the hats off our heads too, if we'd been willing to part with them ;-)

L to R Kristi, Zack, Audree, Tashi, Bree, me

People LOVED our costumes! We got so many positive comments, and Tashi and I got quite a few, "awww, you look like easter eggs!", which was fine since we were actually there on Easter!

Money, Money, Money!

Soooo I've been kind of freaking out about money this week. Both of the businesses are taking longer to launch than is my preference. So today has been all about making friends with money, playing with money and being more open to receiving money from the Universe.

Kristi and I have been chatting about the Feng Shui of my room and how I can help it along a bit, and I realized when I was looking more closely that I have not only the prosperity corner for my room to address I have the whole house's prosperity corner too!

So she produced from her wallet a $100 dollar bill that I happily scanned front and back into my computer as well as a play bill of $1,000,000 that I scanned too. So I've been printing money bwah ha ha, no but really I'm not going to spend it just hang it in my prosperity corners and keep it in my wallet to help me feel as if I'm abundant cuz that's how the law of attraction works...

Here are my sheets of money!

Then we got to brainstorming more about it and Kristi came up with the idea of putting my picture over Ben's on the hundred so I did!!! That was sooooo fun! You cannot even imagine what it's like til you actually see your own picture on it. So if anyone would like a personalized $100 dollar bill, just let me know. I would love to create that for anyone that asks.

And if that's not enough to jumpstart the flow of money into my life Kristi sent me the link to a blank check from the Universe! Wahoo! So I wrote myself a check today from God in the amount of money that would get me caught up with bills and have some left over, and then I wrote out checks for all my bills! It felt so good to have the energy around money shift from lack consciousness to abundance, and that will help bring more abundance! Thank you Kristi for all your support and amazingly great ideas!

Some of you may think this all sounds a little too woo woo or whatever, but I haven't got anything to lose now have I? And plenty to gain... I'll keep ya posted :-)

Paddling!!

We, Kristi, all the kids, me and Steven, all went to Goldwater Lake Friday afternoon for our first paddle of the season, though now that I've uploaded all my pics none of them indicate that we did indeed paddle-oops.

The water there, like Watson is super high! Wahoo! So much so that the entire boat launch is under water as is about half the parking area at the boat launch! Again, I've never seen the water this high in all my years here. It. Is. Amazing.

After paddling, swinging and snacking Steven, Tashi and I went to check out the dam and lower lake... But, first, Tashi the monkey girl, had to climb a tree. All the way to the top of an Alligator Juniper.

This is the back side of the dam and the creek made by the water coming over the spillway.

Tashi found a crawdad in the creek!

Here's Steven, who thinks he's gonna rock climb up the wall right there, uh huh... riiiiight... ;-)

Water coming over the spillway.

Here's the lake from the top of the dam. Sorry about the blurries. I forgot to change back to landscape from close-up after I photo'd the crawdad...

Looks like this coming weekend might be "laking" weather again so maybe I'll be able to post some pics of us actually paddling! ;-)
