I love M&M

Here is my new Bling. M&M---mixed media! I love this stuff. I think I have a new addiction. I just love getting my hands into all of the cool stuff to do this. Inks,paints, glue---every bit of it is too, too fun. Hope you like it.

Spreading the Wealth

   I have to say I have some VERY AMAZING children. I am here to spread the wealth of their knowledge and creativity. You are going to be so thrilled with what this Conrad Clan can do, have done and will do in the future. So hop on over to our new project- http://dpconradfamily.blogspot.com/  a new family blog where we will share recipes-tried and tested, sewing and craft projects, health tips we think are fabulous, just about anything and everything we want to share with each other and share with you.
   This is a new family adventure we are trying so we can keep in touch with each other and pass on info that will be quicker than snail mail. We don't always have the time (especially when school starts-two of our members are teachers) to be with each other, but everyday someone is on the computer. The goal is to add new posts often. So just imagine a box of Cracker Jacks with a prize inside. You remember- the really good kind of prizes- not the paper sticker kind of prizes. Those grand and glorious rings and cowboys and trinkets you just thought were made of some precious material. A true prize! That is what you get when you visit our blog site!
  Okay, Okay! maybe that is a little exaggerated. But go on over and check it out for yourself. A Family Affair at dpconradfamily.blogspot.com You'll have a good time-promise.

The Joy of Giving

You know that feeling you get when someone takes the time to get you a gift? When out of their busy schedule they think of you -make the effort for you? Good feeling to know someone cares for you that much-huh? Just to know someone cares is enough and can be the gift in itself.

Well there is another feeling for the gift giver just as satisfying. To see or hear the happiness you have given to another. The recognition shown by them that you care. You made an effort on their behalf. I think that the giver's feelings could possibly be more emotional. Nothing like that quiver that runs through your heart that says you love someone and showed them you love them. By a very simple act of thinking of them. The simple act of giving -instead of receiving.  What's that saying? "Tis more blessed to give than receive."

But you know that by the giving you also have received. So give from your heart and you too will receive. So how could any of us loose? If we are all willing to lovingly give to one another?

This is my simple act of giving to two I love . A small gesture of my feelings for these dear friends on their shared B-Days. Happy B-Day and enjoy. You are my Bling and you make me Sparkle.
