What is "Minutes for Me"?
It is when you take a few minutes for you, each day, even if it is only 5 minutes, to enjoy a moment or two. Remember the old saying: "Stop and Smell the Roses". I call it "Minutes for Me"!

Share your Minutes for Me ideas here every week at my Linky Party.
Here's some ideas to get you thinking:
Share photos - I love photos as the photos say it all and you only have to write a few words. If it is something you like - share it.
I will suggest photos of quilts, sewing, crafts, and gardens, but your "Minutes for Me" may be something else. Share what makes you smile.
Make sure they are Rated G - for everyone or they will be deleted.
Make a special tea or coffee to enjoy each morning. Tell us about it. Maybe take a photo of the cup with the morning sun streaming in the room.
I love simple recipes. Give credit, if it is not yours.
Take a few photos of a new bloom, of a family member or friend that made you smile, or of your dog or cat.
Take the photos and share it here.

Share a craft with us - doesn't have to be a tutorial - just show us what you made. If it is not your own creation, share the creator's information.
Sew for a few minutes each day - take a few photos of the progress. Enjoy that you took a moment to sew!
Share a finished quilt.
Share an un finished quilt.
Read a book or magazine - share your thoughts.
I could go on and on. This will be a hodgepodge of "Minutes for Me".
What makes you happy a few minutes a day?

Share that with us!
Start simple, with just a few photos and a few words to share with us. Title your post whatever you would like, but tell us somewhere in that post, that this is your "Minutes for Me".
It does not have to be a new post. YES - You may share an old post, but make sure you add the link back to here, to the old post. Thanks!

Today, I am going to start with sharing a cup of tea on a rainy day. I took photos of my lunch on a quilted table runner in front of a window. I did not use the flash on the camera as I let the natural light do it's thing. (cloudy rainy day) My "Minutes for Me" today was a beautiful lunch, (looks like a quilt) and a cup of tea.
I have a theory... if you make good foods look delicious, you will choose more good foods to eat and you won't crave the junk!

I share photos of food that look like quilts on my other blog - Lunch Looks Like a Quilt to Me Blog. I will include a link to a post from there today, for the linky party of how I created my Chunky Chicken Salad. It's a photo recipe.
NOTE: African Violet just for photo - NOT edible!
See that was so simple... I made a colorful lunch, added a quilt for the background, picked a flower for a little more color, set it in front of a window, and took photos of it to share! That's my "Minutes for Me"!
