Valentine's Day Charity Project

I love making things for others, specially those that need a little love, even if it is frmo a stranger. This valentine's day im making cards to be delived to elderly people in New York. This great deed is made year after year by Citymeals-on-wheels . My goal is to make at least 10 cards. You can find out more through Etsy who teamed up with Citymeals-on- wheels to bring some loving to these homebound folks. Please try to cooperate, even just one card can make someone feel loved and apreciated!

Chunky Houses

There are rumors of another round of Chunky Houses Swap over at Craftster's so I thought I would share the ones I received for the 1st round. I am looking forward to make more houses since I did not take pictures of the ones I sent out.
Happy crafting,

Rony the Scarecrow

It swooshed with the wind,
His hat flew off
and landed on the field
Rony was sad
Oh so so sad!
The wind swooshed and ooched,
and ruffled his shirt,
It was a playfull wind,
without a care,
but that silly wind,
meant no harm,
just wanted to play.

Thoughts....

As the new year closes its first month, start of the year resolutions pop into consiusness. How realistic are these resolutions? It bad enough ending a year knowing you are getting older and more irrelevant , living in a society were age is not seen as something that brings wisdom but rather something that is ugly, forbiden, even gross. To those end-of - year thoughts, add the self dissapointment of realizing you did not keep that year's resolutions.
To prevent this anual trajedy I will NOT make any resolutions, but rather make goals. My goals for this year are quite simple: craft more, write more and exercise more. The first I have done, the second im working on it and the third is in the works (I need proper shoes!).

I made 3 beautiful postcards today from recycled materials. It may not seem like much, but for me its the begining of a new life, a new year, a new adventure.



"Time is not in our hands, people. It is merely a stae of mind. Either we have it or we dont, we want it or we dont, we use it or we waste it."



"Things we want in life are placed in a platter before us, its only our task to know how and when to reach for it."



"To take time to feel the beeze and to have some tea is to live."

So go ahead, make something, laugh, live!
