There were so many wonderful aspects today but the greatest treasure was the 2015 Orioles Magazine Rick brought from me when he returned from their spring training in Florida! There are great articles, information on every player, the schedule, and great photos!  I'll have it next to me every step of the way as the season progresses! Thank you Rickster!!!

Today's treasure is plans for a butterfly garden for my dear friend Carrie who lost her son one year ago today. 

Newcomer's of Northern Baltimore County invited me to give a workshop on creativity today and the surroundings were perfect! Arlen invited us all into her exquisite home, holiday decorations still in tact, to create the celebratory mood. The session was scheduled to be a post holiday event but the snow and ice delayed our gathering until today.

After a warm and wonderful session of sharing, we headed to a nearby restaurant for a delightful luncheon. Thank you Arlen and Newcomer's for a memorable and magical afternoon!

inspired by yesterday's celebration of Pi day

Another delightful celebration at RI. This crowd knows how to celebrate. This spread was in honor of PI day. The creativity, variety and generous sharing of baking skills was greatly appreciated.
