Aged Dragons ....

Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. ~ Mother Teresa

Lavender Fairy ...

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? ~John Lennon

Good morning!

A new Sunday Song & Rhyme challenge is in process at The Outlawz Challenges. Each week we will give you a theme based on a song or a rhyme along with a bit of the lyrics/lines with which to take inspiration from to create a card/project! You can also look on-line to get more information about the Song/Rhyme.

This weeks inspiration comes from a song selected by Margaret: Song of the Lavender fairy from Flower Fairies of the Garden book by Cicely Mary Barker

"Lavender's blue, diddle diddle" - So goes the song;

All round her bush, diddle diddle, Butterflies throng;

(They love her well, diddle diddle, So do the bees;)

While she herself, diddle diddle, Sways in the breeze

"Lavender's blue, diddle diddle, Lavender's green";

She'll scent the clothes, diddle diddle, Put away clean -

Clean from the wash, diddle diddle, Hanky and sheet;

Lavender's spikes, diddle diddle,

Make them all sweet!

(The word "blue" was often used in old days where we would now say "purple" or "mauve")

For my 5 x 7 card, I took my inspiration from the references of the fairy, color and butterflies

Supplies:

• Card stock: American Crafts / Stampin Up! / The Paper Studio (base)
• Design paper(s): Unknown
• Die(s): Gina Marie Designs, Sm. Profile Butterfly / Spellbinders, Butterfly Circles
• Ink(s): Fun Stampers Journey Silk
• Stash: Rhinestone 

So, remember to stop by The Outlawz Challenges where a new challenge starts every day of the week!

Curious Creatures ...

The owl is one of the most curious creatures. A bird that stays awake when the rest of the world sleeps. They can see in the dark. I find that so interesting, to be mired in reality when the rest of the world is dreaming. What does he see and what does he know that the rest of the world is missing? M.J. Rose
