Sunday Salon

Hi Friends – I hope you’ve all been enjoying the weekend. I’m excited to join in on another Sunday Salon and thank you to Deb at Readerbuzz for hosting the chat.

What I’m watching: Did you hear there’s a new limited series of Dexter coming out? We really enjoyed this series (especially the first couple of seasons) so we bought the entire season to watch it again as we anxiously await the new series later this fall.

What I’m reading: Having spent some time in nature recently, I wanted to continue my appreciation of nature by starting World of Wonders by Aimee Nezhukumatathil and illustrated by Fumi Nakamura. This is a memoir in which the author takes us through her childhood with a focus how nature shaped her life and memories.

What I’m making: Cards. I love all kinds of paper crafting and sort of cycle between bookbinding, journaling, mixed media, etc. Lately I’ve been making some cards for friends who are celebrating birthdays but also for Cards of Kindness. Last year I sent in a bunch and I hope to send some again this fall. Card making can be simple or elaborate. I prefer to make simple designs but not matter what they look like I just hope they bring joy to the recipients.

What made me smile this week: Buying a Texas State Parks annual pass. This last week we went to two state parks and had such a wonderful time. I remember when I was younger and traveling I always wanted to go to big cities but the older I get the more I appreciate nature. Don’t get me wrong I still love big cities but time in nature is restorative for the soul. The best part is that we have several state parks near us so I can’t wait for more days spent outdoors.

What is my motto for the week: Go to bed with dreams, wake up with a purpose.

I’ve been off from work all week so I’m going to enjoy the rest of this day and prepare for tomorrow. No doubt it’s going to be a long day as I get back into the swing of things. I hope you all have a great week head and more book talk soon!
