Imagination

Mount on the horse named imagination,
Gallop away to the land of dreams.
Imagination can take you to anywhere you please.
You can fly through a magical cloud of mist,
That makes you feel at ease.
You can run through a field of wildflowers,
Feel sweet breeze through your hair.
You can wall through the forest,
See beautiful things, and breath the beautiful air.
You can stand upon mountain tops,
Dance in the rain, and skip upon lily pads.
Smiles become rainbows, laughs into sunbeams, and giggles, into butterflies. Anything you ever thought of, can always happen here.
You never know what you may find, a treasure, or a foe? You could go back in time, or maybe to the future. Maybe into a fairy tale, or maybe somewhere new.
Your beautiful white horse, Imagination, is always at your side. He often nudges you with his nose, but you have to decide to ride.

Thanksgiving.

This thanksgiving, I am thankful for alot of things. God has given us so much to be thankful for, it is a shame that we take so much for granted sometimes. Everyone does it though. But don't forget to be thankful for the little things too! I have noticed that Kids are good at coming up with little things to be thankful for. My mom teaches a CCD class at our church each sunday before Mass. She does the 2nd graders, and I usually sit in on the class and help out if she needs me to. They where talking about thanksgiving, and my mom had Turkey coloring pages, so they could put what they where thankful for on the turkeys feathers. So they where coming up with what they where thankful for. First the things that have a big impact on our lives, that we always think about at thanksgiving but often forget how blessed we are to have them the rest of the year. Food, Family, Friends, Houses, clothes, Etc. But then they started coming up with things that we don't normally think of, but should be thankful for. Ladybugs, and flowers, little things that we enjoy, but sometimes forget about. I think it was really neat to see then coming up with all these things, that I might never have thought of! And don't forget there's those things that we don't enjoy, but we still need to be thankful for. I don't like Brussels sprouts, but I think I should still be thankful for them, because they are food and some people don't even have yucky old Brussels sprouts! So this Thanksgiving, I am going to try To remember to be thankful, even for the little things, All year. First the big things, My Family, My Friends, My House, Food, Water, Air, The Earth, Clothes, Etc. Then the little things… Butterflies, Clouds, Bubbles, Imagination, Soft warm blankets, little baby giggles, dragonflies, Etc. And then even Yucky old Brussels sprouts, and doing the laundry (because that means I have clothes to wear!) and the dishes ( because that means I have food, and plates to eat off of!) and cleaning out the cat litter box ( because that means I have soft furry kitties to pet!) and all that stuff. But most of all, We should be thankful that God made us, and that He loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, down to earth, to die for us on The Cross. So everyone have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving, and don't forget the true meaning of thanksgiving!

Just some stuff. . .

Here are some fairies from my "flower fairies" collection. . .

New layout and theme

Well, i decided to kinds "merge" my two blogs, and completely redo it. So like the new design, and name? :)

Day break in the forest

The sun is rising in the east,
The first bird awakens, the sun it greets.
Soon it's brothers join in the song,
And all of creation sings along.
The twinkle of sunshine shines through the trees,
A slight sound is heard like a rustling of leaves.
The squirrel has awakened, and with it, it's young.
Telling the trees that the day has begun.
The golden rays sparkle throughout the tall grass,
The rabbit arises, and begins to dance.
Hearing the greatness, the deer have awakened.
They jump to their feet and the dance they partake in.
Such a sweet fragrance in the new morning breeze,
This sweet flowery smell has awakened the bees.
With The hum of the bees and the song of the birds,
The butterflies are now just beginning to stir.
The whole forest rejoicing, the new morning is here! The black of night gone, this scene we hold dear.
Why Do all of the creatures react this way?
What's the cause of all this? Its just another day!
The reason they do all these wonderful things,
They are giving praise to our God, our Savior and King.

My latest projects.

Lately, I have not been working on that much, but i have been working on a few things. First off, here are the cards I made for Easter ( I hope everyone had a Wonderful Easter by the way!)

 I also like to make Crowns out of Flowers and willow vines. This is the best one I have ever made. The aroma coming from this crown, Was so good, I can't even discribe it!

 Another picture of the crown pictures above.

 Here is the card I made for my Wonderful Art teacher, Ms. Bethany, For teacher's appreciation day today.

So there you have it! that is pretty much all I have been up to ( "Art Wise" ) lately!

Inchies

Well, http://www.rosesonmytable.ning.com/ also has inchie swaps. Inchies are miniature works of art that are only one inch wide and one inch tall! Here are the ones i made for the April Swap.

 You make six of them, send them in, and you get six back, each from a differnt person!

 I made little envelopes for them :)

 Here is the match up to the cards

this is how they fit in there :)

i think they turned out pretty good. I used colored pencils on scrapbook paper, and then cut out the words and glued them on. Then I put Mod-podge on the cards to make them shiny. I made the envelopes by taking 2'' x 2'' peices of paper, folded in the corners and glued them there, then I took just plain washable markers and made little designs on them. I put a little mod-podge on them too, so they would match with the inchies :)

Some Art

Well, Since i just turned my blog into an Art and Poem blog, I'm going to put up a few of my recent projects.

 Here is a Collage I made. The words are a little blurred it says " Enjoy The Wondrous Beauty Of Nature That God Has Created" on the petals. and on the leaves it says " Love, Joy, Peace, Hope"

 A little jar i decorated with magazine clippings and Glitter Mod Podge

 One of my panitings.

These are my Spring themed Artist Trading Cars for the ATC swaps at http://www.rosesonmytable.ning.com/ It's a wonderful site!

So, now you have seen some of my recent art :)

Well,

I've decided to turn my blog here into not just a poem garden. I've decided to expand it to an art garden as well :) from now on, it won't be just poems! There will be pictures of my art here, probably some posts about what projects I'm working on, along with the poems! Also I am going to try to post more often. Haha. Yes, life has been busy around my home lately, so I will try my best :) Renovation on my blog will probably start sometime tomarrow or the next day. It would be alot easier for me to do if I could edit the look of my blog through my Moble!
