Sunshine & Happiness!

I know, I know ... you are waiting for a post about Disneyland (sorry Becky but thanks for the link to the cool Disney idea). I promise - Disneyland is coming ... very soon! I have the pictures ready to go. I just need to upload them, arrange them and add some text. Sounds simple enough but I have been busy with other stuff. :-)

Like this ... I created a layout with Christine's kit that she made for me (see yesterday's post for links). Of course I wanted a happy page for a kit called happyrobyn. Normally I fill my pages with journaling but I was just going for a feeling with this one. I had so much fun making this. And I want to thank Christine once again for this extremely thoughtful gift! You know I love you girlie!

Music today may seem odd. But to me it's perfect. Rod Stewart: Forever Young. I had this cassette tape in college and played it until it died. Here are some of the lyrics:

"May the good lord be with you down every road you roam

And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home

And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true

And do unto others as you'd have done to you

Be courageous and be brave and in my heart you'll always stay ... Forever young"
