February 26, 2010 A GORGEOUS SNOWY DAY!

MY 2 LABS AND I WOKE UP TO TONS OF SNOW!  YIPEE...

Glorious!  G-d is so wonderous to make this stuff...wonder if there are things like those utensil scoops for watermelon and cantelope up there in Heaven and G-d is up there just scooping away every single sno flake?  Hmmm.  Just a crazy morning thought!

Yesterday, while making my cards, I reflected on how I love busy cards - chock full of color, different angles etc.  So, I tried to do 2 cards that were....more, let's say, not me!  But before that...I had to do a "samara-card" to get my mojo-on for this huge challenge!  So, small prayer preceeding....get ready...Over this weekend I will show my 2 "not me-now me" but I love them cards, however today I will start with the - Yup - "samarian" card!

Funny thing about this card...I purchased these wonderful french dictionary vintage pages and used one in the background of my card.  I then thought...Oh my gosh...what have I said on this card?  I asked my bi-lingual young son what I said and Phew...it is about gardening!  Saved!!!  Getting ready for Easter and His arrival...  Enjoy!

THE TREE OF BEING

All human beings powerfully sustain one another.  The lovers

of G-d in this contingent world become the mercies and the

blessings sent out by that gentle King of the seen and unseen

realms.  Let them purify their sight and behold all humankind

as leaves and blossoms and fruits of the Tree of Being.

Baha' Ullah (1817-1892), Persia
