~~~**FRIENDSHIP WINGS**~~~








Misty made those SWEET CUPCAKES the other day soOOOOo I made some today!!! My guys really enJOYED them and they didn't even have sprinkles but guys really don't care!!! hehe They were a BIG HIT!!!
There's one of my visitors today! He had 2 companions! I don't know whether this is the one who got mad at me or not. YOU can tell when it's a lil boy, they stomp their feet and get mad!!! All he wanted to do was eat the bread I had thrown out to him, NOT get his picture taken!!! SOOOOooooO cute, LOOK at his lil' face!
My collage says, "friends give us wings" I think journaling with Misty all month made me get out of my comfort zone and finally make my own faces! It's quite FUN!!!
Don't forget, have yourself some SWEET DREAMS!!! xoxooxxoxoxoxooxoXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOOXOOXOXOXXOOXOXX
PS. i love SEPIA!!!

~~*MY WINGS ARE TATTERED BUT NOT BROKEN*~~













Meet my MUSE for today,on a SNOWY, RAINY, ICY DAY!!! He didn't have any companions today! I think he is a young CROW, the way he looks. The other BIG CROWS didn't show up today sooOOOOOo he had FUN dining by himself! The deer came by later and finished up! I almost went out today to play in the snow!!! It was just right for making something!
My husband and son took off yesterday from work it was soOOOo bad. Today was a snow day for the kids! My road had one lane yesterday and today wasn't great but it was do-able...upon my hill!
I had to ACCEPT today what couldn't be any other way, also yesterday.
The weather conditions made it impossible to attend my uncle's funeral.My mom and dad were getting ready but my other uncle persuaded them NOT to try and go, the roads were icy today! They won't be taking my uncle to his final resting place til the weather breaks! There are too many hills here in West Virginia! I LOVE every ONE of them! hehe OH, the HILLs, OH, the HILLS, how majestic and how grand they are.....
So, which one do YOU like better, the Artpiece with the snow or the one without the snow! My MUSE, the young CROW made me color in SNOW! dOESN'T HE LOOK CUTE IN THE SNOW?!!! I kind of like the one in the snow better, that's good because I can't change it now!!! hehe
SOOOOOOOOoooOo NOT going to my Uncle's funeral tattered my wings but didn't break them! Uncle Rannie would smile at that......he would understand..............

~~~***CROSSES***~~~







This Morning, 3:30 am, my Uncle Rannie died........he was my dad's younger brother, 82 and a SWEETHEART of a man!
we are still Journaling with Misty and today's assignment was, "SHAPES" Pick one shape and go from there. I didn't know what shape I was going to do but it was obvious today on a Sunday after hearing my family morning news what shape I was going to do. A CROSS......
When someone dies, it makes YOU think of your own death, and it makes me think of Jesus's death on a CROSS. Lots of people pray in the form of a cross, I do myself sometimes when alone......
To catch up on yesterday's assignment (make something and give it away)I want to offer my readers these postcards for now, I'll even give YOU more!(I will pick a winner Friday) These are all from my collages.......I didn't have time to do anything yesterday for being to church and the hospital. Maybe sometime later I can catch up on that assignment! Until then ,YOU have the chance to win these CRO POSTCARDS!!!hehe(just leave a comment!)
I had a lapse of good judgement for my post January 23 soOOOOoOo I deleted it, I will be posting that on my other Blog, Crostuff sometime later.

*~~~COME OH HOLY SPIRIT, FILL THE EARTH~~~*






Misty Mawn Journaling assignment today was, focus on a word and create a page around it. My word is "SPIRIT" I almost chose MUSIC or SONG because I LOVE to sing and hear music! and dance!!!!


This whole day was a song!!!filled with SPIRIT! Congratulations!!! Barack Obama!!! I am soOOOOOooO GLAD YOU and your family were safe today, being in the public office has it's dangers. I pray to GOD he protects our president, vice president and their families from Evil.


I enJOYed watching all the people on the Mall today. I especially LOVED the quartet that played for Barack's inauguration this afternoon! I HOPE they have this most Beauty Full song on Youtube soon! http://omg.yahoo.com/news/inauguration-quartet-simply-filled-with-hope/17885#comments

I enJOYed seeing Michelle, Malia and even Barack close their eyes listening to that quartet with their hearts, not just their eyes! I enJOYed seeing little Sasha walk almost skip through the day and all their smiles are SWEET! I enJOYed seeing someone up there on the dignitarie's podium while waiting for Barack eating a Hershey bar!!! Did YOU see that? It gave me a chuckle! I HOPE YOU get the SPIRIT of today and that is the HOLY SPIRIT. We certainly need all the help we can in the coming days! here's some pretty scripture,


Psalm 104;1Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty***3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind 4 who maketh his angels spirits;his ministers a flaming fire


30Thou sendeth forth thou spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth


31the glory of the Lord shall endure forever:the Lord shall rejoice in his works 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembles:he toucheth the hills and they smoke33I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live:I will sing praise to my God while I have being 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord........


I wish YOU the HOLY SPIRIT, the HEAVENLY GUEST, LET HIM IN(as my collage song notes read) Now, I must go to seeeeeeeeee Barack and Michelle at the Balls!!!!!!GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

CRO

yES, mISTY GIRL, i'VE BEEN DOING MY ARTWORK IN THE AM'S TOO!!! I finished my RED gal,"RED DIVINELY" AROUND 2am! Today, after I got back up I thought I would experiment painting while listening to a song and I don't know why this certain song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFYQQPAOz7Y&feature=related


came about of all songs but it is the one chosen! LOL I wanted to paint while listening and be finished by the end OF IT and that I did! I was exhausted as I laid down my paint brush!PHEW!! LOL YOU can seeeeeeee the difference in the 2, I enhanced the one to be brighter! The one is even brighter than the pic, my camera is soOOOo old it doesn't take metallics very good! The turquoise is brighter than the pic shows. Anyway, I think that would be FUN if we all did a painting by listening to the same song just for one day! I think a lot of artists paint listening to music but I usually don't because I have to be super quiet while eveyone is sleeping! I don't have an ipod and anyway, I like my music LOUD! hehe

I went outside to play in the snow and SURPRISE YOU with that something else WHITE from yesterday's post but the SNOW is too powdery and won't stick together! Hopefully, another day I'll get out there! I had some visitors, another showed up, he must have been camera shy! They got some bread and apples for lunch!HAVE A HAPPY WEEK-END!!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXXO, Cinda ps.SWEET DREAMS!!! xoxooxoooxooxoxoxoooxoxoooooxoxoxooxoxoxox

and to slow things down a bit
