Board.....eh?

It's a funny thing.  We can plan and search and create 

to get just the right look, at the right angle, 

and have everything in its place~

and then.....

You see, I found this board at a yard sale for a dollar or two.

It doesn't match a thing in my house.

I had no idea what on earth I would do with it, but

it wanted to go home with me.

As I was thinking,"I don't need more junk," I gave the dollar,

and home with me it came.

(work in progress - please forgive the markings)

Little did I know that day just how much I would use

that board.  It has been host to letter-writing,

stitching (nearly every day,) or occasionally just a flat surface

for my tea if I am sitting on the couch.

I keep my little scissor zipper in the upper corner ~

so handy.

Lesson learned: like a chance meeting that brings you

a best friend, a silly little board has

become a valuable tool to me. 

Happy surprises are everywhere just waiting for us.

Until next time,
