Money Talks

Remember 'Forever in Blue Jeans' by Neil Diamond? (hmmm you're THAT old? LOL) I heard it on the radio again the other day and when I saw Lisa's new kit...it begged me to capture this line in print.

There's more pieces to make up a bundle...do check it out
 

 
 
True the song line philosophy will 'drop' you in the long run...but still I think it's useful to help keep things in perspective...

Mending...

...not a favourite thing for me to do. Like fixing or renovating. I leave that to my hubby, who can turn a piece of seeming junk into something beautiful/useful/pleasing to the eye.

But sometimes a little bit of mending on the inside of us is necassary too. The stormy weather takes it's toll and 'things' just wear out a bit over time and we need to pay it some attention. This is what this page is about : reminding me to make time for the mending process.

I used Gypsy Couture's new 'Grommet Flowers' and 'Krafty Alphas'

The page was done for the Art Journal Caravan over at Scrapbookgraphics and is also featured on my Art Journal Journey blog.

I was not familiar with this song (by Patty Griffin), until I heard Susan Boyle sing it and it sounded like a pretty good summary of a lot of what 2009 was like, so I figured it would make an excellent intro page to the 2009 album. You know : the ups and the downs : but in there is hope and there is future, fun, happiness!
Jesus never promised us a bed of roses, but He promised to always be with us.

Gypsy Couture (aka LisaMarie) has this wonderful new kit in her store today 'Change of Heart' It has a delicious altered feel to it, something I greatly appreciate.

and here is my page :

I enjoy making altered books in real life, you know with paint and glue and 'stuff' and have been wanting to get into digi altered as I like the idea that stuff don't crawl out of the cupboards threaten to overwhelm me all the time. You know I think I have enough accumulated 'treasures' to keep a group of ladies in supplies for making a project each (hey! maybe that is an idea?) BUT I really don't want to keep on hoarding stuff, now how else will I get to make my fun stuff then? Why digital of course!!! So I'm going to give it a try and see how I make out. I may hate it, I may love it....won't know till I try, right?

It is almost weekend again...wow! Have a good one!
