It's Here! It's Here!

We're coming to rock the scrap world!

It's closer than you think!

The time is drawing nearer

I know you have secretly always wanted to run with scissors.

Soon you will have your chance........

Your chance to run with scissors!

Coming Soon!

Get ready for the digiscrap world to turn upside down!

A Winter's Night

The lamp is burning low upon my table top

The snow is softly falling

The air is still within the silence of my room

I hear your voice softly calling

If I could only have you near

To breathe a sigh or two

I would be happy just to hold the hands I love

Upon this winter night with you

The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead

My glass is almost empty

I read again between the lines upon the page

The words of love you sent me

If I could know within my heart

That you were lonely too

I would be happy just to hold the hands I love

Upon this winter night with you

Your Buddy Misses You

Life is a book that we study,

Some of its leaves bring a sigh.

There it was written, my buddy,

That we must part, you and I.

Nights are long since you went away,

I think about you all through the day.

My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you.

I've hit a speedbump on the road of life. I've been thinking about my friend Claire a lot lately. She passed away unexpectedly this past June. This is the time of year we would be talking of going on a roadtrip to New Orleans. It was one of her favorite places to visit (mine too). We always had a dream of going there and listening to Dr. John play the piano and sing our favorite tunes. Because we'll never get the chance to go (dying has a way of derailing future plans), when I saw this kit "Old Town" by Joe Designs at Oscraps I decided to take us there anyway.

The song "My Buddy" was one Dr. John sung on his "In A Sentimental Mood" album, and a personal favorite of mine. I thought it would be very appropriate to use here.

I used Joe Design's kit "Old Town" and Holliewood Studio's "All Hallows Eve", both from Oscraps
