For the Love of Shoes...

Oh how I love shoes!!!  

To be honest though...

lately I usually slip on my uggs to take the boys to and from school...

and to prevent my toes from turning to ice cubes at the hockey rink...

 and then I alternate between my two new pairs of running shoes for my runs.

But when I get the chance to dress up...

bring on the FUN shoes!!!

Cause remember I love my shoes (and boots)!!!

Like these sweet pink ballet flats...

they are my newest pair of shoes.

LOVE these!!!  They're TOMS!!!  So stinkin cute!!!

So glad I ordered them right away because they are already sold out!!!

YAY me!  :)

And how about these...

my most favorite SPLURGE ever...

My GORGEOUS red Old Gringo's

Perfect for when I am feeling bold and brave...

or when I want to be BOLD and BRAVE...

or when I am tapping into my inner gypsy...

or when I want to remember my ROOTS and WINGS!!

Oh how I adore these!!!

So there ya have it...

just a little glimpse into my shoe stash...

Whatcha got on your feet these days???

Why all this talk about shoes??

It's a blog hop of course!!

SHOES

Just for fun...

I doodle...when I'm bored...

when I'm stressed...

usually letters embellished...

or silly faces...

lots of heart...

sometimes just to pass the time.

So a mandala a day for the month of March sounded rather fun...

or maybe just one every few days...

Not because I thought I would be creating wonderful masterpieces...

but because it gave me a focus for my doodles...

and it allowed me to play with my colored pencils!

How fun!

How about you?

What do you doodle?

I Want to...

Be Brave.

Run a Marathon.

Go to an art retreat.

Take a solo road trip and do and see whatever I want....and prove that I can in fact do it by myself.

Design at the ocean - not on a cruise but a bungalow or a cottage will do.

Be Confident.

Run a trail run.

Adopt a puppy.

Be a foster parent.

Enjoy today.

Hello Monday...

Hello beautifully sunny day - think I might run outside...

Hello hubby working at home...

Hello sick kid...

Hello hair dresser not showing up for my appointment??  Really???

Hello 2nd place for Wild Bantams this weekend - proud of you kids...

Hello to your first goal Connor - so PROUD of you!!  You played really well this weekend!

Hello to a break from hockey...I am looking forward to free evenings but I'm sure we will be missing you soon enough!

Hello inventory - I do not like you!!  Not even a little bit!

Hello new recipes and cleaner way of eating...it's more that over due!

Hello spring cleaning schedule...love that it's that time of year!!

As always thanks to Lisa for such a brilliant idea!  I like keeping track of what's on my mind...

A mandala...

Not a pretty mandala by no means!!!  :)  

But still therapeutic none the less!!!  

One of the Fly Tribe girls - Rain

asked if anybody was up for a mandala a day for the month of March...

Why the heck not???

Sometimes I feel like being creative...

but don't feel like digging out the jewelry supplies...

or scrapbooking supplies...

or painting...

or playing with clay...

I think you get the picture...

Something a little easier...

doodling and coloring is usually the ticket.

So anywho...my first mandala...

that isn't a zendoodle mandala...

tomorrow I will add details...

and color lots and lots of COLOR!!!
