Mother’s Day Wonderfulness
If you celebrate Mother's Day, I hope you had a great one. I always enjoy going over my mom's house to see my parents and siblings and to catch up on life. A lot of times, the siblings and I like to talk and debate about politics and entertainment, and at times things can get... Continue Reading →
Competition
Last week's solo competition was flawless. I don't usually get teary-eyed when I watch her perform but she had me wiping tears. She has grown so much but she is still my little girl. Photos were taken by a pro-photographer. I purchased them (they were pricey) and cleaned them up a little.
April Magnolias and Snow

Shaman Bells Water Color and Ink Pen
These Shaman bells are used in Hmong spiritual rituals. I am not Shaman so I am not familiar with the rituals. I only know that they are used but I have no idea how and what for. Another term for the spirit calling is "jingle bells," or in Hmong, Hu Plig (pronounced, who-plee).
