from the heART: snail mail is the best mail

There is something about receiving mail and more specifically, snail mail, that is so lovely! Between the bills and junk mail, when there is a little something personal, I believe it can really brighten someones day.

Call me crazy, but I might enjoy sending mail just as much as receiving it. Taking the time to address the package with a little artsy flare just makes me smile! I've heard it many times before and believe it to be true, that everything is designed, so why not make it beautifully designed!

from the heART: more wine please

Number 64: go on a wine tour was a very fun one to cross off the list. A small group took a short day trip a little outside Charlotte and went to a couple of vineyards. It was a relaxing day tasting wine and spending time with new friends. So for any friends that want to come visit and like wine, I know exactly where to go.

from the heART: MGJ

There are few moments in life that seem to have a tendency to make me reflect upon how I am living my life and if I am doing good. The passing of my dear sweet grandma Mary Jane a couple weeks ago now is one of those moments. Thinking back on the time spent with her and grandpa growing up only bring good memories to mind. Going over to their house to swim in their pool, visiting them each and every halloween to show off our costumes (and without fail she would have the best package for us filled with candy and movies), and playing their slot machine. 

On our more recent visits, we would catch her up on the happenings of our lives and normally answer her questions regarding our love lives. Followed by her telling us what that month or year had in store for each of us regarding our astrological sign. I will always remember MGJ as such a positive, witty, always happy grandma who loved us and we loved very much.
