Ask Yourself: Does This Spark Joy?

3 Comments

On Sunday morning, as I was putting away my laundry, I realized that my dresser drawers were over-stuffed and unorganized. So what did I do? I asked myself: “Does this cluttered mess spark joy?” My answer was a resounding “NO!” So I pulled everything from my drawers and used the KonMari Method to fold and organize my clothes. There are no “before” photos, but here are the “after” photos of three of my dresser drawers.

So now I have to come up with ugly sweaters {or sweatshirts or sweater vests} for both me and my husband. Then I have to convince my husband to […]

Painting with a Twist

2 Comments

I’m not an artist. I cannot paint or draw to save my life, but with some direction and encouragement, I can create a masterpiece. Last month, my friend, Marci, invited me to Painting with a Twist on Gay Street in downtown Knoxville, where we painted a whimsical Christmas scene. And I have to say, my painting turned out better than I expected! Painting with a Twist has rules, as you can see in the photo below. I did relax and my painting did turn out fine. I didn’t put my paint brush in my drink and I didn’t drink the […]
