VACATION DAY 2



After a nice sleep we awoke bright and early at 6:00pm and headed out for a brisk stroll to our complimentary breakfast buffet.  The kitchen did a wonderful job - a great selection of food! And they were able to keep it hot just the way we like it. The walk back to our room was beautiful because there was an inner courtyard and some of the trees still had their leaves on; river birch had yellow leaves.  You could hear the songbirds which have been gone from our area for a while now.

Georgia’s Welcome Center stop at noon was much needed.  We put up the table in the van and made sandwiches [a great way to save money to use on “seafood” when we get to the coast…yum!].   My husband gassed up the van in a small town and I picked out a $2 scratch lotto ticket…I lost, but I gave it a shot;)  I guess you can say I contributed to the State of Georgia’s Christmas! 
Cotton Fields look like snow.

In the middle of Atlanta, GA, near the Mill Road Exit …rambling down the interstate, looking at the scenery and watching a movie at the same time [did I mention I have the whole back of our van to myself]  I spotted a beautiful church, architecturally speaking.  Too bad I can’t get inside it; I adore looking through buildings.  As the road passes on there are more and more trees with leaves and they are just beginning to be touched with color.  Blue, blue sky with just wisps of clouds; I just couldn’t help it I had to open the window slightly to feel the cold air on me; this reminds me of October.

Just as I was finishing up my movie we pulled into our end of the day hotel in Lake Park, GA.  Good night to all and sweet dreams!

Georgia On My Mind Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles
 
Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

March is National Craft Month



National Craft Month was created by the Craft & Hobby Association in 1994, it was designed to help people learn about and re-discover the joy of crafting and all its many benefits.

March went by way to fast for me.  So much was going on that I didn't get to do my March National Craft Month!  Maybe I'll have to pick a different month to celebrate "crafts." 

There were so many websites/blogs that participated in the National Craft Month -  I just couldn't get to them all nor did I have the time to locate them all!  Ergo if you know of a great site just comment below so I can "hop" over and discover what they did to celebrate!  I would surely appreciate your discoveries.

Spellbinders™ just finished a awesome blog hop and HERE  (Facebook page) is where you can see some the list of participating blogs that "hopped" - when you "click" on the artists name you will be taken to their site where their project(s) are featured. 

I wish I had read my email in time so I would have seen the blog hop sooner.  I only got to enter 2 days and NO I didn't win any Spellbinders™ dies... I'll just have to keep on trying!  I like blog hopping except it takes so much time going from one blog to the next.  But the benefits out way the time... I get to see so much talent out there; so many blogs and so many artists.  Don't forget to see what else that particular blog has done.  I usually go through their past posts or see if they have a gallery or tutorials.  Then I visit some of their "favorite" blogs... and before I know it it's 2:00 am!!!  LOL. 


One of the blogs I like to visit is Our Daily Bread.... Becca Feeken is one of their designers. 

In honor of
"March is National Craft Month"
Spellbinders™ had a "Bunny Hop!" 


Becca was featured on the second day of the Spellbinders™ Bunny Hop!  Becca Feeken's project is shown below - the one in  pink.  

Becca always does amazing work.  She does the best ribbon tying... I wish I had that talent! 

If you ever get a chane watch her how-to videos they are very well done and I highly recommend them.  




Becca utilized torn cloth for the bows... great way to go "green"


HERE is another beautiful card by Becca (look at the bow tutorial)...

THE PRAYER
with Lyrics Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli

I saw this video on YouTube and thought how beautiful the graphics, lyrics and duet were...

Please Enjoy...

There is a small "advertisement box" in the video...just "x" out of it ;)  YouTube is free yet so this is how they can make money.  Anoying but better than paying for YouTube!




 LYRICS

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe


La luce che tu hai
I pray we'll find your light
nel cuore resterà
and hold it in our hearts.
a ricordarci che
When stars go out each night,
eterna stella sei


The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
quanta fede c'è
when shadows fill our day


How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Sognamo un mondo senza più violenza
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternità


We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
La forza che ci dà
We ask that life be kind
è il desiderio che
and watch us from above
ognuno trovi amor
We hope each soul will find
intorno e dentro sé
another soul to love


The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that
and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find
around and inside
another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer, just like every child

Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe


È la fede che
hai acceso in noi,
sento che ci salverà

It's the faith
you light in us
I feel it will save us



Always Keep Your Candle Burning Bright!

'til next time,


Con
