How To Stay Young...

I have a dear friend that I met online on a forum a while back...we have since met up and 'played' well really crafted together...She has really become a dear friend to me...she just sent this email to me...and I had to share it with you all...

Just a little inspiration for your day!!!

We all need to read this one over and over until it becomes part of who we are!


1. Try everything twice. On Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this epitaph: Tried everything twice...loved it both times!

2. Keep only cheerful friends.

The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches;)

3. Keep learning : Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.


5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. I love you, my special friend.

11. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares? But do share this with someone .

Lost time can never be found.

Now with that being said ... I just can't stand the thought of not sharing something with you as far as to share a photo of a project I made...so with that....

I made this card using different files from none other than SVGCuts.com I used the lever card from the Winters Chill SVG Kit. and a few of the FREEBIES that Mary and Leo have to offer...SVGCuts gives a freebie each week that they post a new set...its so much fun....the latest set they put out is so much fun...It has 24 different SIMPLE valentine cards to make...go check it out... I think in the next day or two they should be posting a new set...and when they do ... well you know me... I have to have it... so stay tuned to my next new SVGCuts project that I make...lol...

Happy day everyone...it's almost Friday!!!
