Recharge

A need to get out of this town and hit the big city, of Atlanta, even for a few hours was needed for some soul recharging and a bit of fun family time.  There is just something about driving into a city and seeing the beauty of the skyscrapers that makes my heart pitter patter.  When we lived near Philly, it was the same way.  Does that make me a city girl at heart?

Little one loved the Aquarium --crazy busy as it was Saturday but fun.  The Beluga's are absolutely beautiful and I could spend a lot of time just watching their giant gracefulness. Peace was the word that came to mind.

These little guys were a hoot and putting on wonderful fun for all the camera's.

The really cool part is the underwater walkway and seeing all the different species co-habitate with each other.  The guide stated that there is sometimes an 'unwanted snack' by the bigger one's.  Ohh...that's not nice fish business :)  He stated they feed them all ALOT.

 The whale shark was 30 FEET long--can't even think about that one.

This guy was really smiling at me, kinda scary! Freaked little one out.

This sting ray had to have been 6 feet wide, it was HUGE. 

All in all, I even enjoyed the 2 hour car ride there and back.  Yeah, it was needed that bad.

So today, I stood in my craft studio door and stared.  Yeah, stared, at the heaps and the mounds, papers, ribbons, buttons, artist pads, pencils, yadda-yadda.

and it sometimes takes a bit of this to get that.

A bit of inspiration for Spring 2012.  Really, winter decides to show Feb 11 in the South?!

Here's to winter weather this week--no excuse for me not to have a hot toddy to warmeth my little soul.  Come on over, I'll make you one too and we can stare through the door into my studio. Yeah, its that bad.
