Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-a-Dee-Ay

Have you ever had  something by way of conversation start memories come flowing in? This morning I was reading The Rusty Thimble's blog post "The Birds are Singing"! She had a picture of a road runner on her post...and I said to Tom, this is so cool...have you ever seen one? He said 'no'! (Now me...the only one I'd ever seen was in a cartoon. smile...) He said, there was one in the movie "Songs of the South"! (which spurred my memories...)

I told him my story about the movie! When I was young, they use to put a coloring page in the newspaper when a children's film came to town. Kids would color them and send them into the paper and they selected a few that were good and sent "free" tickets to the kids to see the show. Well, low and behold, I won!! (yeah!! yeah!! yeah!!)  Mom (Grace) took me up and dropped me off...I stood in line (which was a long one) for quite awhile...(my picture I colored was posted out front...so cute!!) I was told later I wouldn't have had to stand in line. ha..ha.. But remember..I was just a little girl...smile... Memories...sweet memories!!!!! We think we'll get this movie and relive it again...smile...

I put my little rabbits out for Easter...aren't they cute??  Do you see the rose on the one bunny? I made the dough out of white bread and Aleene's craft glue. I also used food coloring. I glued it to the back of the head, as you can see in the last photo. (This was back when I did lots of crafts..smile..)

These clouds were so pretty today... we had to go and get the oil changed in the van and this is what we saw!! smile..

Tomorrow, we've got another appointment with the therapist as I'm still  really having problems with my hip. Which means 'up and at em' bright  and early tomorrow morning...but I hope it's not as early at it was this morning... which was 4 a.m.!! sad...  (I was hurting..) 

I hope you had a wonderful day...

more as it happens here in the city......

My Birthday Book...

Here is my "Birthday Book"!!! Now I must tell you how I made it!! smile...

(sorry this picture is sideways...) When we went to a MS Seminar a couple months ago, the drug company that was putting the seminar on handed out books etc. on their drug. This is what the book looked like before I fixed it up...lol This 3 ring binder was just too good to throw away... I'm one of these people who 'hate' to throw reuseable things like this away! BUT, what to do with them...is always the next question!

One day when we were at Staples I came across these 'duct tape' sheets of pretty paper! I thought I'd buy one and see if it would work on that nice little 3 ring binder!!  Tom measured and cut and covered the front of the binder!!! Viola..."pretty"!!! We bought another sheet the other day, so now Tom will cover the back with this same print and we'll do the spine with black duct tape...so will show it to you when it's all finished...smile...

Between Pinterest and my daughter, I decided to make and save my birthday cards and memories...in this pretty little book!

I was able to save the cards, envelopes, memories...

more views of the cards...

I wrote memories of my birthday and of the party! smile... what a great book full of memories!!

Blessings.. everyone!!!
