Everyday Magic 01

My Everyday Life: Week 11 on Shutterbean.com

Everyday Magic 01

The only way to keep the spirit of magic alive is to SHARE IT. I’ve been practicing capturing magic in My Everyday Life for the past 12 years so I’ve built up quite a collection.  Even though it’s been a challenge to keep this creative practice, I am so thankful I have a treasure trove of images to pull from when I need to!   I think we could all use a reminder of simple magic that happens every day so I’m starting a new column- Everyday Magic!  When I am in need of gratitude for the magic I have in my life, I’ll share it here. 

So here’s some EVERYDAY MAGIC for you! 

 

Window reflections in juicy watercolors.
