the Feng Shui Frog

My friend saw this in my jewelry box and said that HER friend, the Feng Shui expert had told her that a frog in a north opening was good for receiving money, so I hung this beauty in a north window. 

Several days later she reported that she had been wrong... it was TURTLES in the north.  He stayed, I don't have a pretty enough turtle.

I was lying about on the floor yesterday

I do that occasionally, just to see what odd perspectives there are from the floor, and I saw this view of my ceramic mirror. I keep adding ribbons when I find big ones with wire edges. It is strange from here, no?

By the way, on my other blog I posted a love note to my camera, and mentioned that I have it with me all the time. I thought I would show you how I carry it, since I think this pouch is so neat. I did NOT get the model with it when I bought mine, alas. I hook it onto the keychain hook that is in my purse and just leave it there and it is well protected but accessible. This pouch is neoprene so it holds onto the camera a little too, so it never falls out or seems in danger of doing so.  Now I have posted a love letter for my camera and one for the pouch.  I guess I can stop now, yes?
