I am learning so much doing this blog/website, it's never ending & I'm surprising myself everyday. Now, you tech wizards, I.T. geeks or just plain smart people may already know what a FAVICON is, me.....I had no idea but I knew I liked them, but never knew what they were called. Are you ready for me to blow your mind? Are you ready to have a new word in your vocabulary?  Ready to thrill your friends? Be the life of the party?  
FAVICON=Favourite Icon, are you still standing? Breathing? 
Still with me or have you run off to impress the boss with your new word? 
You can thank me when you get that big raise. 

<----- There it is, beautiful isn't it? Does it take your breath away like it does mine? Want to be even more impressed? Look up, up to your tabs on your tool bar now see my website tab? See the dragonfly? Are you getting goosebumps like me? Hopefully I'm in your Bookmarks Bar, forever at the top, but even if I'm not, when you bookmark me (you have bookmarked me, right?) & I'm with all your other fav sites, I'll be easily recognizable with my little dragonfly.

   I'm so happy I now know what those little things are, favicon, favicon, favicon, I'm even more impressed with myself that I figured out how to get one.
   I've impressed myself, now go out to the world & impress your friends, family & co-workers..........FAVICON !

   I tell my Mom I love her all the time, I call her & visit her, I give her little gifts  to show my appreciation for all she has done for me, I'm sure she knows how much I love her, I hope she does. I blogged earlier here about my Dad , how he has influenced my photography but now it's time to tell the world wide web about the most creative woman I know, my Mom. For as long as I can remember my Mom has been crafty & creative, she is like a box of new crayons, bright, sharp & colourful. 

   As far back as I remember, Mom has always been doing something creative. When we were kids we dyed Easter eggs, made salt dough ornaments, decorated pine cones for the birds, made cinnamon treats & more, it was never ending, Mom always had a creative outlet for herself as well. Ceramics....Mom painted, stained & whatever else they do to greenware to make the most beautiful ceramic pieces I had ever seen. Pottery, she hand made incredible Inuit people, children, elders, they all had their own character, they were amazing. This talented woman has dabbled a bit in everything, most recently, painting & what I love about this art is you could ask 100 people to paint the same daisy & you'll have 100 different results. I love her paintings, being able to see through her eyes is the most wonderful thing.

   She has done it all & her creative juices run deep in my veins, thanks Mom, thanks for being there for me when I need you most, thank you for your patience throughout my life and THANK YOU for creating, dreaming & teaching me, thank you for your encouragement in all I do, thank you for believing in me. I love you xoxo
