2 Posts in 1 Day Could That Bee ~ Yes Its Day 5 Of 365 days Creative Journay Journal

Yessiree, two posts in one day... this post goes towards my 365 days of Creative Journey Journal of a "daily dose of vITaMiN bEe", which brings me to day 5 of my quest...  it was kind of a daffy day.. I had a lot running through my mind and I seem not to accomplish much... but I did get to enjoy my daffodils and create a bee...  We all know the books on "Where is Waldo" well today's post is "Where is the bEe"...

Actually, the bEe is right beefore our eyes but it seems to bee blending in with the things I have in my kitchen... but if you look closely it will buzz right on by and hide.  So sit back and relax and have a cup of tea with me and take in all that can bee seen ...you never know it might be as easy as the writing on the wall...

Have a hONeY of a dAy ~ may sweet things come your way!

"A Tribute To A Friend"

"best friend forever & a day"
Joanne (Zelek) Smith "Auntie"
August 17th, 1945 ~ April 23, 1994

Good Morning All....

Since early this morning, I've had my Aunt ~ Joanne Zelek Smith aka "Auntie", on my mind.  Not sure why, maybe because its close to her death anniversary or that its the Lenten season or just because.  My Aunt was loved by many not because she was my aunt but because she was a true caring, loving, kind soul and a true beeliever/follower of God.  When you hear the saying "Open door policy" this was true about her.  Her door to her heart was always open..  She open up herself to whoever came to her for help ~ it didn't matter what the color of your skin was, or how rich or poor you were, if you were a genius or not book smart, sick or healthy, young or old, family or stranger, Polish or Irish, Jew or Catholic, two legged or four legged, her door was always open...her door was opened 24/7, 365 days a year...she had a heart of gold ~

She lost so much at a young age... her mother and both sisters Judy & Marion (my mom) all past away before she was 23 years old.  That is when her open door policy began (I think).  At the YOUNG age of 22 years & 8 months old she was given the custody of taking care of my brother Tommy and myself.  With her by her side was my Uncle Ray & my Grandfather (Dziu) who were our three guardians.  She never complained, cried or whined she step in and took control of what was bestow upon her.  She could have ran and hide... but no she stood with pride and guided my brother & I until the day she died.  Joanne did many many things for others that none of us knew about she never ran to the top of the mountains & shout it out she kept it in her heart, mind & soul till she left this earth to bee with God.  From what I remember of her wake/funeral you would have thought she was royalty or a famous person.  People came from all walks of life to bid a kind soul good-bye...

The thing I miss the most was my friendship that I had with my aunt... she was in every word the sense a "BFF" best friend forever... I could tell everything and anything to her. She was there for everything I did whether it was smart or dumb she stood by my side.  She always had my back.  I was born on her birthday and always felt that there was a special bond between us... not only was she my aunt ~ she was my second mom, BFF & guardian... I don't think I'll ever find another to replace her shoes in my life ~ the imprint that she has left on my heart will never bee filled by another. 

So at the age of 50 yrs young, I've finally come to realize its not what you wear, or who you know or if you have not a dime in your pocket or are rich, or if have ten best friends or none, or if your book smart or just have plain common sense....its what counts in your heart & soul and the imprint that you leave on others by just beeing yourself & no one else... you are who you are and bee proud...do the best that you can to make this world a better place... because all that we have is just this moment ~ so Live it to fullest that you can ~ In Jesus' Name...Amen

Have a  honey of a day ~ may sweet things come your way
Grace, Peace, Joy, Love & many blessings 2 U all,
God Bless!

A "bEe" cREatiVitY jOUrNeY jOUrNaL ~ day 2

"a bEe cREaTivE jOUrNeY jOUrNaL"

Now what would a creative journey bee without a journal. . . . I decided that since I would not only bee making things with bees that I would bee drawing bees too.... Whether flying around in a garden or an animated/cartoon bee flying in a hot air balloon on some journey...... I figure it would bee fitting to have a journal with a cover that symbolized the quest for this journey which is the bee...  so as you see above is my cover that I created for my sketches and drawings and doodles and so forth of bees...  ahhhh the visions that I have in my mind for all the things that will be left beehind in this journal of mine....will bee here for all too see. . .

Well that's all the buzz and than some...

Have a honey of a night ~

Honey Vanilla Chai Tea & a bEe - Official First Day of a 365 day Journey of Creativity

"a dAiLY dOsE oF vITaMiN bEe"



As I sat and drank my cup of tea, I pinched myself and said you did it. . .you made it known that you would go on a creative journey for 365 days....yes I know you're probably wondering didn't she start that on the 14th of February, I did but everything that I posted about wasn't CREATED by me...you see I wanted to bee a part of "365 Day Creative Journal" by Noah Scalin..  Noah is known for his journey on his "365 Day Creative Journey" for creating a skull a day... and he is giving out "Merit Badges" for all those you want to take journey... so I reached out to Noah and asked if I can join the journey with a "bEe a daY" ....so here I am starting with "DAY ONE" and I know this is going to bee a lot fun, its all that I make of it & enJOY the fLigHt of life...

I think its a great journey to explore and break out of the box ... move the flow of my creativity in all different ways... So on this day March 9th, 2011 , I "Marlene Haveron" will be starting my journey of CREATIVITY...I will create a bEe a day, whether by drawing, collaging, mix media, baking, sewing, & more.....as long as I create it ~ ;O)...

I hope that you will come along this journey with me, or maybee think of a creative journey that you would like to take for 365 days... so come on and enJOY the flight of the bEe with me ~ you never know where it might take you...  It could take you to your "dREaM"

Have a honey of a night ~ sweet dreams!
