Fancy Pants...love their new line..Daily Grind

The Daily Grind...I'm working on a new project...Bulletin Boards for our ladies
prayer room. The 1st is...Prayer Request and need to post cards...w/o push pins.
Bob...helped me and we worked together covering the board with fabric and then cut the trim and painted it and the glued it on. Then on to the fun stuff...scrapping
the board. I love the chipboard people and all the extra goodies from the Fancy Pants Line.
Still enjoying this wonderful weather... sitting on the deck looking at the trees
that are turning colors.
Still...more of the 7 gypsies photo carousel...amazing how much it holds.

Abundance is . . . electricity being restored after a storm...
Corey & Heather and babies once again have POWER...since before IKE hit.
Almost 2 weeks w/o power...we are so happy for them.

I Can See Clearly Now...the rain is gone

Tuesday...I went to Scrappy Chic looking for a new line by Fancy Pants...and Staci
...um...Staci Compher was there scrappin' and I got to meet her and talk face to face. I first met Staci online through...Two Peas in a Bucket...and noticed she was from home...MICHIGAN...YES! I love her work..it so inspires me...very creative. Then this summer she was published in SOMERSET MEMORIES...and I got a copy...her pages are the best in there. Look into her work and you will also be inspired. My day was so special...because I finally met my online friend..Staci...something I hoped for became a reality. How sweet is that.
The acrylic album she did was...I can see clearly now...which was a song in
1972 by Johnny Nash... do you remember...I was 19...graduated in 71 and had a
1971 SS CHEVELL...silver...with a hand in the back window...2 finger peace sign!
I loved that car...driving around and the radio playing...

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright
Sun-Shiny day.
I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've be praying for
It's gona be be a bright, bright
Sun-Shiny day.
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies

Looks... like another bright and beautiful day. Enjoy your day!

Laundry Line...let it all hang out

I think I'll go outside a while, An jus' smile...

It's a Beautiful Morning...Rascals 1968

I looked outside today and thought of this song...I was 15 when it was #3 on the charts...I remember singing and dancing to this...
It's a beautiful mornin', Ahhh,
I think I'll go outside for a while.
An jus smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy!
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time.
It's you chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
Either way,
It's a beautiful morin', Ahhh,
Each bird keeps singin' his own song.
So long!
I've got to be on my way, now.
Ain't no fun just hangin' around,
I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down.
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside,
Shouldn't hide, still inside, shouldn't hide,
Ahhhh..Oh! Ah, ah, Oh...

Good memories come along with this song...for sure I need this on my playlist.
Have a great day and enjoy the weather it is so beautiful...just look at the sky.

A few more of the 7 gypsies photo carousel...and the new line...The Laundry Line,
let it all hang out. I want to scrap this with the carousel.

RAK...Random Acts of Kindness

With kindness, the difficult becomes easy, the obscure clear; life assumes a charm and its miseries are softened. If we knew the power of kindness, we should transform this world into a paradise. Charles Wagner
Just thinking about how we treat each other every day...I know I desire to be more kind in my actions and with the words I speak.
How much better we can make our world by just practicing the art of being kind.


More of the... 7 Gypsie Carousel. Enjoy the weather today and be kind to someone this week... we may never know how much it made a difference in that person's life.

Rainy Days...I love the rain

I am thankful to say that Corey & his family are safe from Ike...they evacuated last Thursday and are still at a friends home that also lost power... so now they are waiting for news on what they can do next. Come home...to MICHIGAN we say. We would love to see our grand babies, Corey & Heather walk up to our front door. Been thinking of a song....by James Taylor, SHOWER THE PEOPLE...with all the rain we are having. Just shower the people with love and show them the way you feel...You'll feel better right away... Don't take much to do...Sell your pride... They say in every life...They say the rain must fall...Just like pouring rain...Make it rain...Love, love, love is sunshine Oh yes...Make it rain...Yeah, all right... Everybody, everybody... Shower the people you love with love. I remember this from the 70's and I still love this song and the message it has. Enjoy..and listen to it on my Playlist.
So... here are some more of the 7 Gypsies Photo Carousel.
Have a great day...
