Bookmarks


In today's world a bookmark is something new to the children of today who are used to electronic books, but if only they know how lovely it is to read a book, shed a tear or two on the pages, spill some coffee/tea and sometimes wine on a page if you want to drink and read......it is so different to the cold and hard electronic gadgets...oh well, to each his own and by the way, my tic tok brain is in any case to small to understand which buttons to touch to read them (have tried and failed and it won't be good to shower some tears onto the screen....)

Our lives are full of bookmarks too. Every day you live,  your life a page is written and some are good and some are not. Each one is made up of memories, again some good and some very sad....

 I once read that today creates the memories of tomorrow and each memory that stands out in our 'books of live' will be book marked by a good / bad memory.

I try and live everyday to be happy for life is so short and there is so much lovely things that overshadow the bad - be positive. Sometimes it is sooooooo difficult to comprehend why things happen? It is not for us to understand...but just try and bookmark it as a post along the pages of life.

Today is a special day, as it is the birthday of our lovely grand daughter and we are so blessed to have her and have a close relationship with her. May she be blessed and may this day be bookmarked as a happy day full of love, laughter and sunshine to be remembered by.

Here are some bookmarks I made for those old fashioned ones amongst us who still like paper.....hehehehe

African inspired bookmarks which reminds
 me of  Africa with it's blue skies and wild life

A kaleidoscope of colours that can only be found in Africa

Happy Crafting ♥
and remember to create bookmarks in your life -
full of lovely memories to cherish for the future♥

AFRICAN SAFARI



With the cold here in the UK (and it is summer....) I needed some African sun to warm the heart. It all started with the Special moon last night....
Took this picture 23.06.13 at 23H21 - Stunning view!
and longing for the hot sun...
an African Safari of hearts followed












P.S. Hubbie knots the special knots for the key ring holders♥

Luvvies and now to dive under that duvet to get some warmth - in the middle of SUMMER!

BUSY SIBLINGS♥



Apart from being handy with the hammer and  nails, sisters have been busy like little bees. Here are but a few of their latest creations....''handmade with love'' by their talented hands♥

A bag to love and cherish♥

When space run out - hang it from the ceiling♥

A little bird cage becomes a light♥

How lovely it is to be inspired
 by their busy hands!
Luvvies.

The circle of life...

The circle of life...

The circle of life. The wheel just slowly rolls and turns every day. One of my acquaintances had a little baby boy this week and one of my classmates (class of 74) husband passed away this week...Gladness in one household and sadness in the other....

It is love that binds us together as family and communities - tolerance towards one another and without this....life seems to be meaningless..and the wheel just keep turning.

I am in a wonderful place in life at the moment and count my blessings one by one everyday. I have the opportunity to do what I want and feel comfortable within myself and in my soul. Happiness is not something you can buy or obtain- it comes from inside and I think that is just what I try to reflect in the things I make and create and tend to - and thus my personal wheel is turning is well....

Here are but a few things I have made over the last week after all the tension with hubbie being so unwell.

Two little birdies hanging on a string♥


A little heart to hang in the kitchen♥♥


All in purple and pink♥ It is love that completes the circles.

This week also saw the opening of some lovely flowers which made  realise, we come and go - so does nature - 



On this sad and happy note I can only say
Keep on crafting, no matter what life throws at you- and...
be happy.
luvvies
