Summer Days….

Each fairy breath of summer, as it blows with loveliness, inspires the blushing rose. 

~Author Unknown

Summer is so magical. All the color and all the life of each lazy day. Even as we run children around to swimming lessons or slumber parties it is easy to pack a pad of watercolor paper and paints in our bag and find a free moment to catch our breath and splash down some paints. I find it so relaxing to sit in the backyard, surrounded by my garden and take five minutes to paint, draw or write.It is wonderful to catch my breath, to look at all the beauty around me, and count my many blessings.Just a single poppy or a bumble bee can make me smile and make my day a millions time better.

Life can have its bumpy patches, but it can also be so beautiful! Just BELIEVE!

Thank-you for all your wonderful comments! I have some winners from the week-end.

Mixed Media Kit Winner : Denise Bryant

Once Upon a Time….

 

 

 

   Once upon a time in a far away land, okay, not that far. Rather, in a land called, Lynden, Ontario… & then in a land called Leduc, Alberta, there lived a under-tall, but rather 'cute' girl….Hee,hee.. We will call her 'Sarah' for the sake of her 'privacy'.Hmm… Sarah's family consisted of a proper British Mum, a crazy & loving Ukrainian Dad, and younger TWIN brothers that got into everything…ALL THE TIME.

Now, Sarah loved her family dearly, especially her Dad because wherever they lived ….. MAGIC followed!

 {Unity Stamp Company / Susan K. Weckesser Inc.Summer 2012}

It didn't didn't matter if the house was BIG or SMALL……. Sarah ALWAYS knew that the house was full of LOVE, LAUGHTER, FREINDSHIP…….. and the odd animal!!!

Yup, when it was stormy, Sarah's Dad would bring the animals inside to tuck her in!  How cool is that!!!

Her dad also taught her to ALWAYS         {

BELIEVE}

                                   in [MAGIC]!

To never stop DREAMING!

And so the story began……

Helmar's Red, White, & Blue Blog Hop

Guess What!?! This is Helmar's Red, White and Blue blog hop!!! Super cool!

 

 To make these little flowers I punched out rounds of lined paper and used Helmar's Decoupage to seal them together. I then punched a hole in them and put them together with flowers and brads. So cute and easy.The flowers are wonderful to use for decorating a wreath or to use on cards or layouts!

So ….a reminder,

for the blog hop make sure to stop on every blog and make a comment for your chance to win. Helmar will select 1 Canadian, 1 American, and 1 Australian individual. So that is 3 prizes total. Hope you enjoy all the Red White and Blue along the way. Your first stop is Grace Lauer. So start hopping!!!
