As usual, it's been a while. I cannot believe it's mid April already! Yikes!! Where has the time gone?? I don't know about you, but gosh, the last six weeks have been challenging. I felt exhausted a lot of the time and really heavy energetically, even with sleeping a solid eight hours. I certainly haven't had any problems sleeping. When I fall asleep, I am OUT!! There has definitely been some shifting happening on our planet. The more I speak with people, the more I have heard similar comments from others. I'm glad I'm not the only one and that it wasn't just "in my head"!
Despite all that, I have done my best to do as much as I could throughout all this shifting and healing, giving myself as much rest as I needed, listening to my body as best I could and not pushing myself too hard.
On Sunday, April 15th though, I finally felt a shift in energy and I had more energy than I had since going through that six week period. I definitely know what having energy feels like and what NOT having energy feels like. This is going to continue to be a BIG year of letting go of the old! It's time.
A few days before spring officially arrived, I could no longer wait to take down my winter altar and so, I set up my spring altar and would like to share some photos of that with you. I love the simplicity of this altar with the white and crystal and just a splash of color. Usually I will put an altar cloth down, but it wasn't necessary this time. I enjoy combining recycled and used pieces with a few new ones every now and again. I absolutely love it and hope you do too!
This will be short and sweet for now.
Bringing you beauty and inspiration.
Blessings to you all.

I often use pretty greeting cards for display as art. I definitely am addicted to beautiful cards and have quite a collection. I picked up this "card holder" at a used store a while back and it's come in quite handy for displaying cards like this.
These tiny eggs I picked up at Winners before Easter. I placed them in a crystal bowl I have owned for a long time. The crystal vase I've had for a long time too. I love the purple bird and silver crystal branch which I picked up recently at Chintz at Christmastime. It looks great in this vase. I placed a couple of shiny silver beaded "necklaces" in the vase which holds the branch in place quite nicely and blends in well with the silver theme. They are "party beads" I picked up at a Loonie store.
The silver angel wings came from a store called "Angels" http://www.ourangelscenter.com/ in Marda Loop. They are just GORGEOUS and the shine on them is amazing. The photo doesn't give them justice, but you get the idea!
Garage sales are great! I picked up these 2 Ikea frames for $5 each! Again, I decided to place greeting cards in them displayed as art. I've decided I'm going to change the theme of these every change of the season. That way, I get to enjoy different cards all year long and the art keeps flowing through!
