.....a Canvas to the Imagination

Here is a framed quote/tag I just made : )
Enjoy!

Creativity is.....

I could not resist sharing this beautiful quote/picture I
found on the internet. Creativity indeed is one of life's
magical forces!

Beautiful Fall

I enjoy making these framed thoughts, hope you enjoy this one...




















Even though we don't get this spectacular scene in Malta,
yet we can still stop to notice the changes in the air, the sights,
scents,of this wonderful season. Take time to sit still
and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

I just made this tag on a whim today for a special young lady
who has just had her "First 12th Grade Day" at school today
and who shared this quote with my favourite crafting group
Craftsayings.

Thanks Marissa and thanks to your Mom-Mom Joann too : )
Blessings!

Happy St.Valentine's Day!

Whimsical Wednesday ~ A.S.A.P.

Do you know what day it is? Of course you do, and if you are also counting down to the big day ...December 25th and making up To Do Lists, getting your gift shopping done and planning a family dinner or at least a get-together, you will surely know what I am talking about when I say things need to be done ASAP.

We hurry through our day, trying to fit in always more than we ever can. We feel as if we are running out of time. Everything seems so important and we label everything as 'Priority'.

I'm sure most of us have received requests labelled ASAP. And yet how do we deal with all this rush? Do we really know how to choose what is important, what is priority and what do we do to slow down so that we know what we are doing...and why is it that it is always up to us to do things, and to do them ASAP?

I found this image while browsing through my files and thought what a great tag to add to my Whimsical Wednesdays especially at this hurried time of year.


So even before you get all flustered and tired, stop awhile and A.S.A.P.

Whimsical Wednesday ~ Kindness and Courage Tag

This is a tag I made quite a while ago for a friend who had requested it.
I think the words of Adam Lindsay Gordon are so true to what we go through
sometimes in our daily lives.
I hope this quote tag will uplift your spirit and make you smile.

May God bless your kindness and give you the courage you need.

Today I lit a candle

Today I bid farewell to Connie, a lovely person,
a sweet acquaintance and a dear neighbour.
In her memory I lit a candle and wrote this poem which I share here...

Today I lit a candle
For someone I hardly knew,
From what I've learned today of her
She was one of a chosen few.
With her kind and gentle smile,
A silent wave, a nod,
With a quiet disposition,
She was a virtuous woman of God.

I'd have loved to have known you better
Yet your silence and example says all,
It seems you were so well prepared
And always ready for your call.
In your memory I light this candle
That we may never be apart
For in your passing to eternal life,
Your light will shine within our heart.

If you click on the candle above, you will be taken to a lovely site where you can light your own candle and spend some quiet time.

God's Miracle of Life

Have you ever found yourself walking quietly in a field, a garden or the countryside? How soothing to have your thoughts clear, you feel refreshed and renewed. It is like you are rediscovering yourself and your special place in this world...you are alone and yet you are not. You feel God's presence and every significant detail around you is important...the leaves on the evergreens, the bare branches waiting their turn to be dressed with lovely foliage, the growing plants, old trunks reaching up to the sky...and among all of this you are re-born!

And if you cannot reach your own 'garden' space, you can still experience these special moments...just find a quiet chair, sofa, rocker, or your favourite reading corner, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, then imagine yourself walking along a quiet path among beautiful flowers, shrubs, trees, and experience God's miracle of life as you feel how important and special you are in His Garden of Love.

Thank God for all friends.....

The Tree of Kindness

Be

gentle

Speak kindly

Think positively

Encourage others

Be there for them

React with understanding

Act with love and patience

Be in harmony with the universe

And at peace with the whole world.

Dream~Create~Believe

I found this saying on a site shared by my friend Bev ...

I was inspired by these three beautiful words that have so much energy

Dream a little dream
Dream on...
Your dream can become a reality.

Create, for you are an artist:
We all have hidden talents
If only we dream and believe...

Believe, yes believe...
listen to your inner voice,
Believe...
for all things are possible when you believe.
~Doreen Scerri~

These words have also reminded me of the lovely words by St.Francis...

"Start by doing what's necessary;

then do what's possible;

and suddenly you are doing the impossible"

St.Francis of Assisi
