Love
I love you,
Not only for what your are,
But for what I am when I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what you have made of yourself,
But for what you are making me.
I love you,
For the part of me that you bring out.

Faced together, makes the circle stronger.

You suppose you are the trouble…
But you are the cure.
You suppose that you are the lock on the door…
But you are the key that opens it.

You don’t see you own face, your own beauty.
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

Scrapbooking

Life is a scrapbook, torn and old
In which our little lives are told,
And when the twilight shadows fall
This is the sweetest thing of all;
To turn the pages of the years,
Remembering with happy tears
The faithful love, the perfect friend…
These things are treasured to the end.
-Unknown
“Memory feeds imagination.”

Tale of the Midnight Scrapbooker
Its nine o’clock, the baby’s in bed,
“Let’s go also”, my husband said.
“That sounds great!” in a hug we engage,
“Just give me 10 minutes, I’ll finish a page!”
Thirty go by, my border’s complete;
I lay out my pictures so nice and neat.
I add paper for colour and a sticker or two.
How about a die cut, now that should do!
But then an idea pops into my head –
One more page, then off to bed!
I glance at the clock, its 11:09!
This is it, I’ll draw the line.
But my fingers keep cutting – the ideas are pouring;
From the back room, I can hear the snoring!
I look back at my work; I’ve done quite a bit
Its midnight now and time to quit.
I clean up my desk and turn off the light,
Put my book on the shelf ‘til tomorrow night!!!
-Unknown
“When my memory goes….Please help me find my Scrapbooks.”

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”
-Scott Adams
“A birth certificate shows that you were born;
A death certificate shows that you died;
But a scrapbook show that you LIVED!

Friends
A friend is…
A friend is… a push when you’ve stopped,
A word when you’re lonely,
A guide when you’re searching,
A smile when you’re sad
And a song when you’re glad.
-Unknown
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words."
