"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy."
~Susan Polis Schutz
Camping is what makes me happy and this is what we are going to do.................to be continued.
So, my first day of 5 days off............I've spent most of the morning attempting to be productive and do some of the things I've been thinking about doing since the beginning of the week. I also did some boring cleaning but not too much. I started out with my first try at Art Journaling, I have the page pretty much laid out but I have yet to get any sort of sticky supplies to put the collage together. I decided that what I wanted to do was a tree of sorts and I cut it out with my cheapo exacto knife. The rest, well, once I'm done I may share............I also made a couple cards for a few people that I have been thinking about lately - I hope that they will put a smile on their faces. Here is one
that I did for a very dear friend whom I know loves this picture that I took in the Red River Gorge last year in May. I have all sorts of stuff just lying around that should be put to good use. I can't think of anything better than being able to brighten someones day with a simple card. I know that is surely does the same for me when I'm on the other end.
Now, this is a CD that I can really sink into. I think that I'd have to say that "tree" is probably my favorite song based on my first listen. Although they all definitely sound like songs that you're sure to be obsessed with in no time.
Now unfortunately before I left Jacksonville to be a mountain girl I never got to see this quaternary of comrades. But thankfully, out of the goodness of his heart Brian bestowed upon me this fascinatingly brilliant four song CD. This is a considerably talented group of guys, and how do I know this if I've never seen kLoB before? Well, that's a good question - I know this because I've seen 3/4 of them in separate bands playing live right before my very eyes. There was even a time when Brian was attempting to give me drum lessons. I surely wasn't a worthy protégé but to my defense I still have down the basic beat!!
"Brian Jenkins is Big Red, and he plays the drums. No, he is the rhythm – like his whole skeleton and blood and hair and smile and breath. He's good. Always in to something and always branching out and always helping someone in some way, he will be the same person when he is 80 that he is now, only better."
So, take the time, and check them out. If you like them - let them know. Bands love to hear about how much you love them; am I right? then here's a CD you can relate too. I know I haven't been awfully descriptive about their sound but that's because I want you to hear them for yourselves!
