Life Happens and it Funny or Not but, it's  Life

I recently ran across an article that had to make you laugh. Through life stage's of achievement which some people are able to by pass. But, the truth is that the majority of people fall in this category.

First as a child you have all kinds of time to have fun , lots of energy to do them but limited resources to accomplish the things you like.


Next you become the responsible adult with a working income to afford the things in life, energy to accomplish what you put your mind to. Yet, you time is mismanaged and not used correctly to create the happy ending you expect.

Then Old age happens. in an instant, that time got you here, which now you having nothing buy time on your hand , you retire with a little savings that perhaps will let you have a little fun or vacations,  Until you realize you have no energy to do it.

What a big laugh , that now I think I got life good. you tell me this.


What do you have to say about that.

Plus, having the pleasure of creating my own swap robot ladies to also share in my adventure of these article, I will be enjoying to write. I wanted something to identify my swapping lady friends. So, i hope you will also enjoy my clip art creations.

Here we go, I Got Mail. 

 Like always, with everything you join you got to read the directions. I got this letter in the mail and it looked like a birthday card. Well, I know it's a little early for my birthday. Opened the card, it's my swap partner. Oop's I didn't know how to play. After going back into the swap-bot site. Ohhh there it is. In the upper right corner click here to find your partner name. I got it now. and out went my card. So let's review the items that got sent and received.

Gifted treasure from my Swap Partner

Also, part of this gifted package of her Artistic creation. Is a favorite classic Author saying.......

Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead. by Louisa may Alcott


Then, recently did a Seven Day simplycaptivatingphotochallenge~ color  In which I used the Butterflies and coloring page's to post to the challenge. Here's the card from those butterflies that i made for the challenge and how I colored and displayed them.

I first had to do some coloring of each butterfly....... with gel pens, and hopefully you can see the high sheen from the metallic gel pen set i used. I also have a few glitter gel pens that always come in useful, to give some luster to there wings.

Now, I also choose to outline the photos after using the gel pens . Included is a photo outlined first. But, after coloring one before and after the gel pen was applied. I opt to outline after coloring in my butterfly coloring page photos.

As you can see, I printed out my coloring pages, six for each panel I created, and two for the  larger photo. about 1/4 inch larger and layer two back to back. Curling the back layer away from me and curling the top photo towards me. to give more to the impression of flutter wings. Then glued the two layers together and then applied the Butterfly over the ribbon. then one of the panel butterflies, I also double layered the butterfly. With only curling the top layer on the six panel to give depth.

I hope you enjoyed the Swap-bot treasure that was sent in the mail. and received in the mail.

Don't forget to add a sentiment .....My love for Butterflies was the insert which I will make sure next time not to forget to save the saying before sending........


Hope, you enjoyed come visit again.

Puzzle Play ~ Butterflies

widgetways.com I Really, Love fun in my life and want you to sit back and enjoy a little break.

Pull up a chair and a cup of Tea/Coffee 

Put the mourning crossword puzzle down
and do a quick Puzzle for a change. 

History makes note that The First known puzzle had 24 pieces and the Library of Indiana

Dates it around the 1730-1741 period.

•  Small Puzzle, will stimulate the mind before starting your day. 
•  Larger Puzzles can entertain the whole family. 

 Using the Puzzle Generator, is a quick way to send your next post on Facebook. Or use this to unveil that favorite photo that you just took of the New Baby. This also can just bring some smile to a teen or to a friend in and email for a Birthday Card. 

 Being filled with possibilities, of course I will make some card fronts for my crafted cards 

  I was always captivated by a puzzle that was laying on a table. I couldn't even walk by it without feeling I had to put a few pieces together. Then a sibling would join in. Next thing I would know we had a conversation going on about, I will be the one going to put last piece in. What laughter and fun floods my memories from a just a moments flashbacks, all from putting a puzzle together.
