Favorite Things

Another thing I noticed when I was looking at my room through the lens of a camera is that every available space is filled with presents from special people in my life.  My husband bought me the red Oriental print box that I have filled with perfumes and lotions that he has also bought for me.  Next to that I have an invitation to a photo show of Carolyn Smith's that I kept because I love her photographs, and she has served as a mentor to me with my photography.  Next to that is a mug hand painted by my sister.  She is an amazing artist and instead of using the mug, I just like to look at it every morning.   The next object is a business card holder made by Alpha Delta Kappa sisters.  Also in the photo is my calendar that has listed all my appointments and activities for the day.  The other side of the dresser has two Teddy bears, one from my friend Linda and one from my nephew Brian.  My whole room is like that.  These things make me feel loved and happy when I see them.
