LIST

If you recall, I shared with you a couple weeks back

that editors to Victoria magazine had a few years back

created their B List.

On my list this week I would include:

Cool morning Autumn breezes

Someone who understands you…when others might not

The laughter of my husband and my children

Our cats lazily following me in the garden

Butterflies visiting my garden

A song that touches and uplifts my heart

So, this week, what would be on your B List?

Thank you for your visit.

Faux Window

Transforming Attic Door

I have been wanting to lighten up this corner of our

upper hallway. I envisioned a faux window showing

pink Spring blossoms, some clouds and a sweet little bird.

I was inspired by

Design Gives Back

to create a post to enlist Comments

to accumulate donations for this marvelous

cause.

This gave me the perfect opportunity to

tackle this project. I had the song

"Look For The Silver Lining"

I feel it is inspiring!

I will also keep this post short and sweet.

The goal is for there to be as many

Comments

as possible!

You can find participating Blog Parties

and Bloggers here:

So, sit back, enjoy some amazing blog posts

and know each Comment you leave

will go towards helping Delightsome children!

I would like to thank

Before:

 The Clouds

The pink flowered tree with bird

All Framed In

I still need to tweak the frame, but I wanted to get this up to participate!

Linking with

Pink Saturday
Metamorphosis Monday

 

Kelee Katillac for all her efforts and hard work!

YOU are an angel!

Wishing you all a very Delightsome day,

A Makeover to Inspire

Look For The Silver Lining

This was one of those back burner projects I had on

my list of things to do.

When I heard about

Design Gives Back

August 12 - 18

And their new project

A Room For Charlie and Liam

I wanted to be a part of this spectacular event.

What to do? What to do?

Kelee Katillac and those working with

Design Gives Back are so inspiring and

uplifting, I thought – look up!

We have 10 foot ceilings in this old house

upstairs and downstairs.

We had to replace the attic ladder some time

back leaving a big blank wood hole.

I would look at it thinking I needed to paint

it soon! Then one day the lightbulb went off

Create a sky light – window look with the

new door! It is framed like a window!

Voila!

Well, life and business too precedence, but

this week, the invitation to participate in

such a positive event called for a very positive

project.

This gave me the idea to create clouds

with a silver lining.

Have you ever heard or read the lyrics to the song?

I’d only known portions of it.

It is quite an inspiring song!

Look For The Silver Lining

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
And try to find a sunny side of life
And try to find the sunny side of life

 

I will reveal the completion of my sky-light window
 attic door Monday, August 15 with Metamorphosis Monday.

Look For The Silver Lining....
I LOVE it! So let’s get together and

Participate this week!
