I have been searching for the perfect male photo. I had looked thu 100's of family photo, about to drive my sister crazy... but no luck.<br /> Yesterday must have been a lucky day for me. Two wonderful things happen... ( I have learned thing happen for a reason, just don't ask why..lol) First, Ms Arlene Norton of "The Parlor at Devilish Mary's" asked me to join the gallery. Within the next week I should have some of my pieces on display. Second, due to the contact with the gallery ... I met a Mr. Bob Franks on line, so just looking thu the photos on the front face book page.... I saw them... The Boys... the best vintage photos ever!!! It turns out that the boys were actually Mr. Franks grandmother's cousins. (that's a mouth full!!) It was exactly what I had been searching for.. it is adorable!! The only thing is .. this is NOT my family.. so I will just will have to adopt the fellows!! Thanks again to Arlene and Bob!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-5482651899405032569?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-47450757833112538802011-08-09T05:15:00.000-07:002011-08-09T05:23:45.199-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W1axTVFWSR4/TkEmPsz4R6I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/gWlu6bYU4ug/s1600/mb%2Blips.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W1axTVFWSR4/TkEmPsz4R6I/AAAAAAAAAQ4/gWlu6bYU4ug/s320/mb%2Blips.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638830259613222818" border="0" /></a> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Iz-SOea7Q20/TkEmPeRWbuI/AAAAAAAAAQw/9l20sJqOIR8/s1600/mb%2Bjust%2Bme.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Iz-SOea7Q20/TkEmPeRWbuI/AAAAAAAAAQw/9l20sJqOIR8/s320/mb%2Bjust%2Bme.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638830255710301922" border="0" /></a> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1Bmm-WKudUc/TkEmO3Ov88I/AAAAAAAAAQo/KYpGtwP-jH0/s1600/mb%2Bangel.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1Bmm-WKudUc/TkEmO3Ov88I/AAAAAAAAAQo/KYpGtwP-jH0/s320/mb%2Bangel.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638830245230408642" border="0" /></a> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EFzg-TbBy7A/TkEmOrnRhiI/AAAAAAAAAQg/2kDTcXjh-MY/s1600/mb%2Bamish.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EFzg-TbBy7A/TkEmOrnRhiI/AAAAAAAAAQg/2kDTcXjh-MY/s320/mb%2Bamish.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5638830242112046626" border="0" /></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-4745075783311253880?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-39137354481064142162011-08-09T05:03:00.000-07:002011-08-09T05:27:38.851-07:00 There is a lot to say about these photos...

So here is a short round up on the shows. Arts Alive it was cold and rainy. Virgina Highland Arts Festival and Cave Springs Art Festivals were good but HOT!!! Hellen Keller Festival was wonderful, and I was presented with an Award of Distinction. Banner Elk, NC was also a cool and rainy. So that is long and short of it!!!<br />Here are a few new designs for fall 2011, Take a Seat, Soap Box Sally, Many Houses, Folk art Angle. Everyone check out my schedule, hopefully come by a show. Check out the new designs and tell me your favorite!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-881259086351088041?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-27691697794840134312011-05-13T18:41:00.000-07:002011-05-15T04:58:15.885-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NA3WSysffAY/Tc3eNMZ6BPI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Pby9NGI-CPY/s1600/CIMG0106.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NA3WSysffAY/Tc3eNMZ6BPI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Pby9NGI-CPY/s200/CIMG0106.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606381429395686642" border="0" /></a><br />Dunwoody Art Show was wonderful!!!

Now Sonny is in the group and today I added a wonderful friend, Belinda.<br />Either a memory from the past.. develops a design. Sometime I'll be talking to a friend and some funny pops out.<br />Today, I was talking to Belinda.. and she made the statement "I do not play well with others." I personally have said or hear that so many times... and it hit me funny... now a new design. LOL thanks Belinda!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-4667045371238387371?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-83379465414546987032011-04-14T19:42:00.000-07:002011-04-14T19:47:28.186-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RXveo4UOMPQ/TaexYKfRGoI/AAAAAAAAAMw/zv8YMiPbUkc/s1600/S6301883.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RXveo4UOMPQ/TaexYKfRGoI/AAAAAAAAAMw/zv8YMiPbUkc/s200/S6301883.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595636090721606274" border="0" /></a><br />I've been working hard since last weekend.

You may have your favorite. I have selected 3... "Don't hit your brother","Don't talk to strangers", and "Eat all of you peas." The funny part is I hear me saying the same things. These pieces has those words included in the back ground, but sightly obscure. As I was processing the first piece... I could hear her in the back ground... shut the frig door, home work before tv, love one another. Good words to live by!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-8552891613729046237?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-49458685082755460712011-04-09T21:00:00.002-07:002011-04-09T21:04:59.112-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8S_X2aqUTk/TaEr6tnP57I/AAAAAAAAAL4/GGhN72ez3Ac/s1600/S6301864.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8S_X2aqUTk/TaEr6tnP57I/AAAAAAAAAL4/GGhN72ez3Ac/s200/S6301864.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593800499847489458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WolnGRiJKPc/TaEr6bVFaBI/AAAAAAAAALw/3z7cPPYh4M8/s1600/S6301859.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WolnGRiJKPc/TaEr6bVFaBI/AAAAAAAAALw/3z7cPPYh4M8/s200/S6301859.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593800494939465746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> These two CUTIES!!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-4945868508275546071?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-73878321662537357962011-04-09T20:56:00.000-07:002011-04-09T20:59:38.458-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KR5tXwWoeyY/TaEq8O5B6MI/AAAAAAAAALo/stOAghM3c-o/s1600/S6301855.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KR5tXwWoeyY/TaEq8O5B6MI/AAAAAAAAALo/stOAghM3c-o/s200/S6301855.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593799426448681154" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Great beginnings at the Blooming Festival!!

Once I get a pile of completed pieces in the floor, I love to get them on the wall. I personally think I love the 3 piece grouping with Sisters as the stand out piece. Its only 2 weeks before I go to my first show. I cant wait and need a show in my pocket, just to officially getting the season going.

First: Family Love, well if you don't have this little gem... you have started on the wrong path. I think this a first step for your health, attitude, and what you make of your self. I have had my share of set backs, bad days, serious issues, just as every one else. But I always have had a great family, the Lord, by birth and marriage, and friends. They help pick you up and dust you off... so you can get back on track.<br /> I have been picked up several times and dusted off, but look at me now.. an successful folk artist. (didn't see that coming..lol) But loving it and knowing it started with "FAMILY LOVE"<br />So be Thankful today.. for we are all Blessed!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-394595042386507051?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-73884172105100428232010-11-12T17:15:00.000-08:002010-11-12T17:43:54.699-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/TN3n7PjbBzI/AAAAAAAAAHI/5JrtUF2_Cd8/s1600/S6301122.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/TN3n7PjbBzI/AAAAAAAAAHI/5JrtUF2_Cd8/s320/S6301122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538838121708980018" border="0" /></a>This is the first ornament for the 2010 season.

In between Mt.Airy, NC, Caton, Ms. and Fairhope, Al, I believe I have lost track of time and distance. North Carolina was beautiful with all the fall leaves changing. Mississippi was hot and dusty, with Fairhope was cool and perfect. Beside the distance between each state, I came across some wonderful folks! My customers were a cool crowd.

Not only does she have quality pieces at good prices, she has the talent to paint any piece what color you need. If you will notice 75% of my furniture it just that... vintage pieces that are scuffed up in mint green. I love it!! That touch make my studio a little more special.<br /> If I didn't get my furniture in "Belinor " of Arab, Alabama... the other pieces came from "Dry Creek Antiques" of Cleavland, Al.

I would like to thank everyone that came out and support all the great artist at the Virginia - Highland Art Festival and the Cave Springs Arts and Craft Festival. These are two unique shows that cover a wide spectrum. Virgina - Highland has a fine art flare that covered a use of material I have never seen, and then with Cave Springs covering the traditional high end arts and craft in a family oriented atmosphere. Both weekends were a hit!! In the next day of so.. photos will follow.,... just don't know where I put that camera! I will also have the fall show line up update on the blog!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-2983393559141492488?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-61506239528415478722010-05-25T07:31:00.000-07:002010-05-25T07:38:07.327-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S_vgnnBCxTI/AAAAAAAAACo/o_DqkaNvkBI/s1600/982.jpeg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 186px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S_vgnnBCxTI/AAAAAAAAACo/o_DqkaNvkBI/s320/982.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475216743091848498" border="0" /></a><br /> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr> <td height="5"><img src="http://www.vahi.org/images/space.gif" height="1" width="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="body"> <p><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#669900;">2010 Summerfest - Celebrating 27 Years of Art, Food &amp; Fun</span></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><strong><u><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />FESTIVAL DATES &amp; TIMES:</u></strong><br />Saturday, June 5th - 10am – 6:30pm<br />Sunday, June 6th - 11am – 6pm<strong><span style="color:red;"><br />Saturday/Sunday Events Are Open to General Public.</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><u>LOCATION:</u></strong><br />Located in the heart of Atlanta, the legendary charm of Virginia-Highland draws a sophisticated shopper interested in original art in a wide variety of media.

Marian, who hails from Oneonta, Alabama had this to say in regards to her work:<br /><br />“I am an artist that loves the re-purpose of every day materials. Finding the new value of discarded material, should be the purpose for everyone. In the days of “recycle or green", I do not use any traditional materials.”<br /><br />This contemporary folk art work is created with oil pastels, acrylics and charcoal pencil. Vintage paper is adhered to game boards or cigar boxes. Each piece is painted, stamped, distressed and then sealed with layers of wax. 95% of Marian’s work is on recycled materials and each piece is original art.<br /><br />Having already received such a positive response from guests and galleries, Marian plans to leave the corporate world this summer and start a new path in the arts. “I feel as if I have been on a long sleep and just have woken up.”<br /><br />The Yellow Daisy Festival is proud of what this year’s featured artwork represents. Not only is it a creative way to reinvent old materials but it also encompasses the tradition of the Yellow Daisy Shopper. We are all “Daisy Chicks” at heart! </span></span></p></span> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-8895236721942136272?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-21340259054326928142010-04-16T20:36:00.000-07:002010-04-16T20:38:42.361-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8ks3UaS69I/AAAAAAAAACg/WYEsRCUzzFc/s1600/S6300384.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8ks3UaS69I/AAAAAAAAACg/WYEsRCUzzFc/s320/S6300384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460945352046865362" border="0" /></a>Bubba approved of the drafting table. 1950 table with a spring board for that 45 degree slant.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-2134025905432692814?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-55676061298755057412010-04-16T20:27:00.000-07:002010-04-16T20:30:42.867-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8kq6XnukvI/AAAAAAAAACQ/8Ycb3AVoQeo/s1600/S6300368.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8kq6XnukvI/AAAAAAAAACQ/8Ycb3AVoQeo/s320/S6300368.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460943205424861938" border="0" /></a>Now an amorie has a second life as the shipping department!

My point of making it a " Happy Place has been consuming, and meeting my criteria of re-purposed materials has been challenging. But I believe we have made a match. Belinda McKinney of Belinor Antiques in Arab, Alabama refinished all the pieces . I purchased the secretary and drafting table from same cute!! shop. If you are looking for any usefull pieces make sure you stop by Belinor Antiques!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-2960557565252574776?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-55905977417802067952010-04-11T18:10:00.000-07:002010-04-11T18:39:55.374-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5i1fR_MI/AAAAAAAAACA/Hbn7vGs5YIs/s1600/S6300352.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5i1fR_MI/AAAAAAAAACA/Hbn7vGs5YIs/s320/S6300352.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459059337707257026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5ieF69zI/AAAAAAAAAB4/1PN3myDRtcA/s1600/S6300348.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5ieF69zI/AAAAAAAAAB4/1PN3myDRtcA/s320/S6300348.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459059331426875186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5h6WCefI/AAAAAAAAABw/6cHceMmux1s/s1600/S6300346.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5h6WCefI/AAAAAAAAABw/6cHceMmux1s/s320/S6300346.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459059321830799858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5hfYfQRI/AAAAAAAAABo/6qr4OUt90e4/s1600/S6300345.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S8J5hfYfQRI/AAAAAAAAABo/6qr4OUt90e4/s320/S6300345.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459059314593317138" border="0" /></a><br />Today was a grand day! The Gadsden Art Museum has an on going exhibit featuring Recycled Art. With a total of 18 artist at 3 entries each, the 2nd floor was full of excitement and dreams. The exhibit was a balanced mixture of wall hanging and assemblages. I received honorable mention with my wall hanging of "Dream the Impossible"<br />The exhibit will be on display for the rest of the month, If you get a chance go by and take a peek!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7587624843024237093-5590597741780206795?l=blockheadarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marian Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613564756175758550noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587624843024237093.post-46409655340868562822010-03-27T05:42:00.000-07:002010-03-27T05:59:46.921-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S63-6LbBQ4I/AAAAAAAAABg/78dPjiGdI5s/s1600/S6300186.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S63-6LbBQ4I/AAAAAAAAABg/78dPjiGdI5s/s320/S6300186.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453294999267525506" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S63-5xMzSQI/AAAAAAAAABY/Z-TA8EWPaag/s1600/S6300012.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_C4jyNJgb4A4/S63-5xMzSQI/AAAAAAAAABY/Z-TA8EWPaag/s320/S6300012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453294992228567298" border="0" /></a>Every day starts the same.. all we have to do is CHOOSE the way we want it to go!
