Last day of January….how are you doing on your To-Do list? I'm moving like a snail on my self-imposed goals. It's ok. There is the real-life stuff we have to get done, then there are the things we kinda hope get done. I saw this slogan in a magazine ad and it fueled my fire. Turn To-Dos into Ta-Das. How's that for motivation?
Maybe you don't have a To-Do list, but that shouldn't stop you from starting a Ta-Da list!

I just noticed that O is the fifteenth letter of the alphabet, and X is the twenty-fourth. Are you getting what I'm getting? 1 + 5 = 6 and 2 + 4 = 6. HCIT?
Tuesday night I took Fallon to a local record store so she could see Leathermouth. They performed, and then signed cds for the fans. (Fallon's favorite band is MCR so she had to go meet Frank!) Can you imagine my face when I saw the title of the album – XO?!!! I flipped it over and pointed out to the band that XO became OX, and of course they recognized it for the Year of the Ox. Aren't I such a goon?
I wouldn't have known about the event if it wasn't for my friend Leci who kept us in the loop. We had a fun night with her and Jess, and guess what she brought me? A t-shirt from Finland! Yes, I was a jealous wreck that she and three other friends got to see HIM in FINLAND on New Year's Eve, but I got a t-shirt!!! Not just any t-shirt, it's a badge of honor for any HIM fan that goes to Finland. I won't tell you what it says because if you don't know then you don't need to know. (Shhhh, don't tell if you know).
A few other X&Os on my table…..with Valentine's Day around the corner there is much bounty, it's hard to resist. But do visit Pacokeco on Etsy if you need some of the cool tags.
In the current crusade we are looking at shapes. I love obsessing over them because once you have an awareness of a fave shape you tend to see it everywhere. Trying on a new shape is like putting on new glasses – oh! the things you will see. Like the shapes, these letters are finding me. Love that. ox

I love when you connect, when you make a connection between seemingly unrelated things. Like this: two horned friends in a watermelon boat, and the Chinese New Year. Huh? I'm not sure what came first in my mind. I was taking a photo of this lovely gift from Lisa, and I think that's when it all came together. I thought of these guys as two buddies, sisters or friends, riding along in their little watermelon boat. Keeping each other company on their voyage to who knows where, maybe China?
You know that Lisa sent me this gorgeous and meaningful deer friend earlier, so I was drawn to the deer and didn't really notice the ox. It clicked that tomorrow begins the Chinese New Year, the year of the Ox. And then I made the connection – ox equals OX, as in Hugs and Kisses. Right? So how cool is it to have the deer, a loving sign from my sister, riding tandem with Hugs and Kisses? Very cool.
Another connection: the other night my fortune cookie told me "Spirit guides accompany you" and the back was the Chinese word for "watermelon". I know, hcit! My favorite Ugly Doll, found earlier this year:
Make this connection: The Year of the Ox, can be the year of OX.

Tina sent this card for Christmas. She gets me, and knows I would be so touched by the deer. Inspired by her beautiful card, I wanted to make some pages so I could place it in my journal. That's why I was taking photos of falling snow at night – I was somehow compelled to set the deer in a faux snowy woods scene. The journaling, which you can't see, tells the story of my friendship with Tina, the significance of the deer, and the meaning behind the snow, and the captured orb that looks like a wink. A family friend told us recently that when she was watching over us as little kids she had asked my brother and sister and I what we might want to be if we couldn't be people. My sister chose a snowflake. Layers of storytelling. I think of this as a triple wink page. Love that.
