I'm so appreciative of my upbringing and just wanted to take a little moment to thank my parents.  I haven't figured out whether my ability to enjoy the simpe things about life and creativity is hereditary or learned, but I credit it to my parents either way, and I hope my children catch it, too.

A post on Lil Blue Boo, a blog I'm really enjoying lately, just had a post in which the author explains her family background and how a passion for creativity has remained strong through several generations.

Since the post started with vintage Barbie accesories, I'd like to add that my mom made me a Barbie doll house from cardboard when I was little, and it included furnishings - it was amazing.
