Purple Posicle

Made this for Petal Pieces Challenge at purplepaperflowers.com


And it was challenging because the colors were a little out of my comfort zone.. but then, what would life be without challenges?


This is my friend Airynne on one of our girly tanning days in the yard... not too many of those here in Belgium sadly!

"Celebrate Love!!!
October 7, 2007
Ken and I had decided to BBQ out in the Yard.
The weather was beautiful, the Sun was shining and it almost
seemed like the weather was trying to make up for the non existent summer we had
had in Belgium. However, we had a blast just hanging out, eating and being
together.
Because when it comes down to it, there really is nothing better
than this.
Sun, Love, and good Food.
(3 hearts)
Hey hey it's a sunny day
Happy took the rain away
Hey hey it's a sunny day
Hey hey it's a sunny day
There's more to it than what you got yesterday
Hey hey it's a sunny day
Hey hey it's a sunny day
Take it off and fly away"

Whiteboard Love

I just had to scrap this

DF left this for me the other day after the "Nobody in this country sells dresses bigger then a size 42" incident last week.

I extended the wall and the white board to make it look like my journaling was scribbled on it too.

Journaling:

"White Board Love

You left me this note on the Kitchen White Board
because you knew I was stressing myself out over silly things again. It reminds
me how much you really care, how much you hurt when I hurt, and everytime I walk
past it, I smile to myself and think
“I love you too hun,
I love you
too.” "

Study? No way!

Journaling:

"Tinkerbell has her own Ideas on when I am supposed to study and when not. I am
most definitely not allowed to study when
she wants scritches and
petting. I am also not allowed to study when she wants Food
or Outside,
because then I have to get up and do something for her! She is my little Diva!
Love you Tink! June 14, 2008"

The Hobbit - There and Back again

One of my all time favourite books...
I think I only read The Lord of the Rings more often

Journaling

"some books you never forget.
they mark the point of no return,
the point at which your whole
perception of the world changes.
some books change your life
by changing you.

And once in a while,
i like to visit my Old friends
and relive their Adventures again."
