Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Decoupage Delights..Fancy Floral


Todays cards are design team makes for the fabulous Decoupage Delights. For today I decided to share 3 of my favourite cards that I have made using the Fancy Floral cdrom. The decoupage on this cd is so easy to do, and the ways that you can use them is endless.As with the card above...you can use the frame to hold any picture you have...it would make a fantastic addition to a frame to hold one of your favourite photographs. As you know I have a bit of a thing for vintage and this cd mixes very well with this theme but also features many fabulous flowers that you could use with any style.


Now you know that Decoupage Delights normally do a freebie on a Friday, but this week it's a little different..there's going to be a giveaway..so please make sure that you pop over to the facebook page on Friday and join in.

What a day today has already been. For once in what seems a lifetime ..the sun is shining here in the mountains. Last night was awful with hail battering the roof and all the cats sat on the bed looking at the ceiling. It was bad that it woke me a couple of times. It seems very strange sometimes being in the house on my own. There have been very few times in the last twenty years when I have been on my own..so that in itself has been a learning curve. I'm getting used to it but in the middle of the night can be a very lonely time. It's another time that I need to put my big girl pants on and deal with it.

Well the coffee is calling and Sparkle has arrived..lol. I've got a long list of work to do and am looking forward to having a play. My friend Dotty is coming on Sunday...am so looking forward to seeing her. And of course there will be updates on Merlin..so watch this space for a cute moment...lol
So until tomorrow..take care and happy crafting.
