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....Vintage Lady


Todays card is a design team make for the wonderful company of Decoupage Delights. This card was made using Marlene..Fashion and Flowers. The image has two backing papers that match but I decided to use one of the fabulous floral background papers that are an extra bonus on this cd. As most of you know, I do love the vintage look..very Edwardian I think.There is something about the Edwardian age that I love. I get to use the ribbons, the pearls and the soft colours that just ring all my bells..lol. I hope that you will pop over to the Decoupage Delights face book page and take a look at all the other wonderful cd roms. They are all amazingly priced compared to most of the cds that are out there.

It is so very cold here in the mountains today. It's a day for the cats to stop in..the only ones to go out are Jeffrey and Sprout..the young boys. They will probably stay out until teatime. The others will all stay in and drive me mad..as usual. 

I had a shopping delivery today..the driver was laughing about the cats and all the cat food that arrived. They all like to watch the food arrive..I think that they're just making sure..lol .I've put it all away..so I can feel virtuous now. I've got a pile of work to do...so the colouring pens will be out later. I 've got a pile of paper waiting for colour  to be added..nothing makes me happier. Sad I know but I do love to have about 5 images at a time on the go and flit from one to another depending what I feel like. As you can see..I have a very exciting life..lol

Well the coffee is calling and the need for caffeine is great today. I have been up since early but it seems to be one of those days where no near enough has been done. My plans for tomorrow are huge..it involves moving things round in the bedroom and moving some things out of the parlour and having a sort out. I have a new bed arriving any time soon and want to paint the walls before it arrives. Such plans ..it's a good job that new jars of coffee have arrived..lol So until next time..take care and happy crafting.
