I'm making more of The Hobbit movie sets in LEGO's.

LEGO's are a fun hobby!

I'm obsessed with The Hobbit.  This is my first set and I'm working on more!  

 These are partial sets of both places.

It's my favorite book!  

It's a great book!  

This project was great fun!  It took about 3 hours from buying supplies to making it.  I watched a youtube video and it was easy.  I highly recommend it!  

I got my baby Hamster today.  I named him Osito which means, Teddy, in Spanish.  

 I'm feeling nostalgic.  Surrounding myself with items from my favorite era makes me happy.

I love music.  Listening to 70's music brings back good memories.  

 You can travel back into time when you watch a movie from your favorite era.

I ride my bike over 5 miles a day and it keeps my back strong and pain free. Also, it reduces stress and it's good for my overall health.  

 I was walking in the park and a cat came running, and meowing, to me from across the field.  I took her home and adopted her.

I found a kitten in a Panera Bread parking lot and named him Matzo.  I fostered him and found a great home for him.  His new family and I are friends now.  

I went to a Fundraising Meeting on June 10, 2018.  

 I've wanted a little kitten for a long time.  She and my Chihuahua are best friends.  They are inseparable.  

 I've been waiting for Marigolds all winter long.

With a Kindle 8, I can adjust the font size so, I can put off reading glasses for now.  And, I can download a book instantly.  It's cheaper than going to the book store.

 The minimum work out for my age range is thirty minutes, three times a week.  Low impact works best for me.  So, I walk on the treadmill.

 I want to learn more about myself and other personality types.  I'm a rare INFJ.

Rosetta Stone is really great!   

I found a church that I love and I enjoy going every week! 

 I rescued so many Betta Fish, I needed to be rescued.  Now, I have a manageable two old Betta boys and a young Chihuahua; the perfect amount of pets for me.

 I finally did it!  I put multi colored lights around my bedroom windows and it's beautiful!

 I've always wanted to take boxing lessons.  I started and I LOVE it!

 I've always wanted to join a book club.  

I've always wanted a longhaired chocolate and white female Chihuahua! 

 It's great to travel.  But, I need time to save money in between trips.  So, taking local day trips are the solution.  You can get away just for the day.

 It's fun to visit the local Amish Farmer's Market and go antiquing.  Especially, when the weather's nice.  I'm adding pieces to my fairy garden collection.  It's like a treasure hunt!

 I enjoyed this project so much that I ordered more items on etsy.  My fairy and gnome garden is growing.  It's fun collecting unique pieces and feeling like a kid again.

 I know it's an easy goal but, not every goal has to be an expensive trip.  I hope the Barkbox will have lots of toys and treats that my Chihuahua will enjoy.

 My note:  "I used to be afraid to fly until I flew around the world by myself.  I learned how to cope with the long flights.  And, at each stop over, my confidence grew.  You have to want to go, more than being afraid.  When I returned ...

 I got up early and walked to my favorite coffee shop for breakfast.

 Decided to go off the beaten path on a road trip and was not disappointed.  Who says you have to stick to the rules.  The path less traveled is an adventure waiting to happen.

When I was younger, I drew all of the time.  As an adult, my passion for drawing was pushed aside by adult responsibilities.  Taking time to draw, again, has renewed my joy.

 I've been doing this for years.  I am an Artist and I must create.  I love to draw, color, paint, play music, enjoy arts & crafts, knitting, crochet and journaling.

I've been journaling for a year now.  I started a new one.  It's a Bullet Journal.  It's my favorite journal experience of all time.

 When I was in Florida I passed up an opportunity to buy a mug that I really liked.  When I got back home, I found the same mug at my local coffee shop.  Don't pass up opportunities.

 I need to learn basic French for my trip to Montreal, Quebec Canada.  

 It's on the Starbucks Secret Menu.  Ask for a frappucino with two pumps of caramel syrup, two pumps of toffee nut syrup and caramel drizzle on top.  

 I started collecting ceramic Pity Puppies from the 60's and sad eyed ceramic dogs from the 70's.  There aren't many out there.  So, it will be a minimal collection.

 I can't save all of the Bettas from tiny cups at stores.  But, I can help a maximum of eight.  I have 8 tanks.  When one Betta moves to the senior tank, it frees up 1 tank to save another Betta in need.

Living in clutter is a cluttered mind.  I have my pets, photograph albums, passport and a few cherished items.  I can fit everything I own into my crossover vehicle.

 I got overwhelmed with rescuing too many pets.  I ended up with 18 pets.  I was able to find wonderful homes for nine of them.  Now, I know my limits.  I have 1 Chihuahua and 5 Betta Fish.

 I found an eight week old female Purple Cambodian Crowntail Betta Fish!  She is lavender which is difficult to find.  

I found a rare Green Dragon Halfmoon Double Tail Betta!  I named him, Emerald.

 It's so good! Surprisingly, the small amount of raspberry syrup combined with the vanilla bean flavor, makes it taste EXACTLY like cotton candy!

When I flew to Asia, I flew into the future.  They are a day ahead of the U.S.  On the return flight, I time traveled back into the past.  It's the coolest experience of my life...so far. 

 The mtFull Sequence DNA Test is tracing my Maternal line as far back as possible.  My Maternal ancestry is 100% Italian.

My DNA matches my family heritage that has been passed down from the previous generations.  I am Italian. 

 Today, I bought a Solid White Oranda Fancy Goldfish baby.  I transferred all three of my Orandas from the indoor pond into a 40 gallon aquarium.  

Today, I joined a local Aquarium Club.  It's great to find people who share your passion.  And, it's a great way to meet new people and make friends.   

 I rescued a Bronze Oranda Fancy Goldfish.  

I bought three more Bettas.  I have eight now.  Each has his own tank. 

I was able to finish it a lot faster than I thought.  My Chihuahua is curled up on it right now. 

Media and technology can be overwhelming.  

 My Red Cap Oranda Fancy Goldfish is like a dog.  She greets me when I go over to her indoor pond.  She's very friendly and has bonded with me.

 I used a 40 gallon plastic livestock trough as an indoor pond.  And, I adopted a beautiful Oranda Fancy Goldfish.  The quiet filter makes it sound like a soft waterfall.  My pond is relaxing, tranquil and peaceful.

 I am excited that my Chihuahua won first place at a local dog show!  

I met Shorty Rossi at The Maryland Dog Fest.  His Pit Bull Rescue show, Pit Boss, used to be on the Animal Planet network.  Shorty is a genuinely nice person and I enjoyed talking with him.

 My Diamond Dove brought my attention to the beautiful sunset.  We watched it together.

I was told that my Diamond Dove was a boy.  So, I named him Diamond Dan.  When I brought him home, Dan laid two eggs.  I kept the name.

 I rescued four Betta Fish and imported one from Asia.  Two rescues were almost dead but, I wanted to try to save them.  With prayer and excellent care, they are thriving and living a good life.  It was a success and a happy new beginning.

 My Dwarf Roborovski Hamster is an excellent traveler.  I took her with me when I moved from Florida to Maryland.  She ran on her exercise wheel when I stopped at rest stops.

 I went online to AquaBid and I won the auction for a Black Copper Crowntail Male Betta Fish.  It took four days for him to arrive through the mail.  I named him Shogun.

A facebook friend from Buenos Aires wanted to video chat.  When I received his video call, he held up a little spotted white Chihuahua and said, "She is for you!"  One week later, she was in my arms.  Best decision I ever made.
