What a Wonderful World....

I wanted to share one of my favorite songs with you....and while I went on a mission to find a version by the amazing Louis Armstrong...I happened across what to me is a wonderful discovery and one you will thank me for finding if you haven't found him already...that is this amazing Hawaiian... who is Iz!!!! Israel Kamakawiwo ole that is. Who is....unfortunately, no longer with us...he has however left his legacy in his music and his adoring friends, family and enthusiastic fan (which I am now one of)...I hope you enjoy this and play it over and over!!!! I do!!! I couldn't decide which video to post so check out either one... or both and decide for yourself

And now for something completely different....

in my effort to stretch my artistic wings in 2008 I had been collecting some stamps in 2007....and I just let go and stamped away and this is what I got....hope you like it....

A gift for a dear friend....

I recently gave this to a dear friend as a small token of my appreciation of her! I hope she enjoy's it as much as I enjoyed making it for her!!!! Huge Hugs to you Dear Barb!!!!
