THIS IS THE YEAR

A friend of mine gave me this little card today

Add that is what it says

THIS IS THE YEAR

Wonderful , Wonderful , Fortunate You

This is the year that your dreams come true!

This is the year that your ships come in;

This is the year you find Christ within.

This is the year you are glad to live;

This is the year you have much to give.

This is the year when you know the truth;

This is the year when you find new youth.

This is the year that brings happiness;

This is the year you live to bless.

Wonderful, Wonderful, Fortunate You,

This is the year that your dreams come true!

JULIANA

She has her daddy's hair cut ... = )

Dream Doll workshop

This is a new drawing I did and I called her "Maggie" ,
 I was listening to

Paul McCartney's song " Blackbird "when I drew her.

I think I should have called her " Blackbird "

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life
You were only waiting

For this moment  to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting
For this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the Light
Of the dark black Night

                                Sir Paul McCartney
