hmmm,

memories?
memories?

i'm really starting to think that they actually do go poof, memories that is.

glancing through my last few blog postings, did i just dream that i had written to you that i was going to start to do a blog posting along with updating either/both 'the thought' and 'the photo' tabs? huh, looks like i might have but i just can't find it.

even though these photo and quotes might not have anything to do with the nursery, faeries, flowers, or pretty things in general, i'm starting to think that i'm just doing things that happens to suits my fancy of that day. everything that just seems to pop into my noggin is what i share with you. not too sure if this exactly what i should be doing here, here on the blog, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and the list goes on but it sure suits me.    :)

i'm thinking that i want to change the title of blog:
journal? nah, too formal.
diary? nah, too much like i'm hiding it in-between my mattresses.
notebook? nah. i think that there is a movie with this exact name.
chronicle? that so is not a nursery sounding title, so that is a resounding nah.
daybook? nope.
reminiscences? nope. as i don't figure that i will ever get to spell that word without the help of spellcheck that this one must become again, nope.
confession? well, nah.
memoir? getting way off topic here this isn't supposed to be about me but about faeries and the such, so nope.
calendar? 
daily?
note? 
observation? 
well, figure i just might have to do a bit more research on this. how about i get back to you?  this thing about 'that fancy of the day' thing will kick in will help me chose the perfect title. since i absolutely love my saved to the desktop link 'thesaurus.com' i'm sure that i'll find a few more adjectives for titling this page.

okay, we have established that i have no memory. yes, we/you already know/knew that. but onto other topics. i have realized that 'the thought' page is up-to-date but then so far behind it's not funny.

okay, we have established that i have no memory. yes, we/you already know/knew that. but onto other topics. i have realized that 'the photo' page is so not up-to-date and that i really do have a lot of work to do,  like adding another 13 photos, to be exact, well as of this afternoon of Tuesday, August 11, 2015 @ 11:47 mdt. as i've been finding that i've been updating my Instagram account in the middle of the night, and that this is how i know that there will no more to share right now.

so i'm now off to do an update on 'the photo' tab so not only was this a weird blog post but it was about figuring out needs to be done to the tab pages, finding the perfect title for this action of writing and again that whole thing called 'memories'.

as with 13 photos there is no way that i am going to show them here, so do go and check out the photo's that i have/haven't share with you. if i happen to again fall behind, you can always find the latest pictures on the nursery's Instagram, Facebook and Flickr accounts.

be ready to be awed by my amazing talent, ha ha ha, of taking pictures and writing little snippets of poetry for them.

and well, that's it. i hope that all of your breathtaking memories bring a smile to your face today and tomorrow. as i know that mine do.

The Unconventional Thought Process of the Modern Day Faerie

A bit of a background for you....

My resume is actually quite a good one (if I say so myself)....

Work history.... hmmmm which direction am I supposed to start from...
Mother...still doing that but that started only 28 almost 29 years ago
Grandmother...still doing that but started only 4 years ago
Executive Assistant to 2 mayors and 1 First Nation's chief
Payroll Officer
Human Resources Officer
Utilities Officer
Nursing Assistant

My references include 2 mayors, 3 senior administrative officers, 1 First Nation's chief and 1 director of finance....


To the NOW part....

I am/are a/an Faerie Amma aka Amma Emm

My nickname that has had actually many versions including (and not excluding)...Emme, Emma...with finally ending up with the shortest possible Emm..oh except I did have someone call me em and em (which upon their retirement gave me a bag of *M&M's)

To continue on...

The Icelandic version of Grandmother is Amma...so that was quite a natural evolvement. Amma in mythology means Mother Goddess....so okay...YAY...that sounds pretty awesome to me! But technically there is a bit of history to that story as well...I had a girlfriend (I'm sorry to say that we have parted ways and not on a happy note at all) that had given me a white polka dotted pink coffee mug...this mug had the following words... 'Goddess, formally Princess'....thus the quite natural evolvement to Amma (note...this mug is now 26 years old...and sad to say has a wee bit of a crack just starting at the top)...PLEASE SEE BELOW...

Now back to the original title of this blog (I know you knew that I would get there eventually).

Back in the days (listed above), I knew without even thinking how to prioritize no matter which position I held. It just seemed to come quite natural. Something that I would sometimes even boast about (no, not me!!).

But (there always is a but, especially in my blog postings)...now that I am Faerie Amma...well now that I work out of my home with a full time position of making faeries, playing with flowers, paints, fimo, glue, stickers, beads...okay list can and does go on it seems like forever...

Oh, and before I forget...I still organize everything here in the nursery...flower petals are in baggies, first by size and then by colour. If there is only one flower petal of one size or colour it still gets it own baggies (yes, I do keep the baggie companies in business). And that of course is just the beginning, every wooden bead has its own container, all of the miniatures are divided by holiday, beads and charms have all of their own compartments, organza bags are all done by colour and then size...even the thread for my sewing machine and serger.....

Oh, and before I forget..the most important job of all...being a Mom...and every night when my kids went to bed..I would organize their **Lego! And to top it all off...it would never be done the same way consecutively...one night by colour, the next by shape, the next by size...okay point has been given.

My dilemma now is that I have NO clue how to prioritize anything? Something that has come to me so naturally all of my life...has gone POOF! And I mean POOF, even with a puff of smoke...mind you it was a pretty shade of purple...but still a POOF!!

I sit here, either at the computer or at the work table with no timetable, no schedule, no nothing. It all comes down to...do I feel like creating today or is just not that type of day....(hint, hint..this wasn't one of those days). And then the same goes for here at the computer....do I work on all of the photos, do I blog (hint, hint...this was one of those days), do I work on the 'Thought of the Day' project (hint, hint..this was one of those days) or do I run around taking Instagram photos? I forgot to add in, I've taken to drying and pressing flowers out of the garden (mind you, those days have sorrily come to an end with the winter season now almost upon us).

So hmmmm....what to do, what to do??  I know what!! I'll blog and take a picture of my 'Goddess (formally Princess)' mug!!!!!!
