I remember when I would wake up everyday to at least one sale now I get one a week. I am so bad at pictures but here is what my husband did for me. This was a free from our garage. <BR/>Supplies<BR/>box<BR/>can of white spray paint<BR/>painters tape<BR/>light fixture and bulb<BR/>He made the box taped it sprayed the inside. Then he cut a hole in the top and dropped the light in. This is not the best light box but it works on days I cant get good pictures outside. If you look at my Flickr you will see pictures taken in the box. I photo shopped some because my husband is not good at details so I have a lot of seams showing. <BR/><BR/>Here is my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/29509624@N06/<BR/><BR/>The meditation souds wonderful.

Que sera sera! Everything in it's own time, I guess.<BR/><BR/>The meditation was a littler harder than I thought, but because someone was there guiding it, it was do-able and I was REALLY relaxed when we finished. (She is the same gal from whom I used to take yoga. Really quirky and cool.) If I had to try to do it all on my own every time, I think I would be up a creek...I'd probably make it two minutes and then pop up to make something/do laundry/eat popcorn/read.<BR/><BR/>What are you planting this year? Do you do flowers or food? Both? I think we are doing the standard tomatoes, sugar snaps, zucchini, herbs, and bell peppers again this year. It seems to work, though we are behind in soil prep right now. Lazy me!<BR/><BR/>Good to hear from you as always. Thanks for the kind words about the rat. I am stalled a bit in the creation department right now, so I have been making myself just start things with no plans to see what happens. He still needs some refining...I may pull his hands off again and he definitely needs some ratty teeth. Grizzly looking thing, no? I should make him a trash can...<BR/><BR/>More soon. Take good care.<BR/>TheresaSycamore Moon Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210192952238991448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648565846341687299.post-24703215776879536432009-03-06T06:56:00.000-08:002009-03-06T06:56:00.000-08:00The rat is great, I love that he has a toy :)I hat...The rat is great, I love that he has a toy :)<BR/><BR/>I hate taking photos too,becuase they are always dark and horrible. We both need a light box set-up. My problem is I'd rather not spend any money on that, if im going to spend money I want something fun.<BR/><BR/>Meditating sounds ... hard, I cannot imagine 5 min being left alone being able to breath deeply and being able to settle my mind. I think that is what I use my garden for. When Im out there noone from my family comes out to bug me, or they might have to work :)So I get a good yummy peaceful feeling when Im there.<BR/><BR/>Peace Sista,<BR/>CytelCytelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917928309003839437noreply@blogger.com
