Angels of My imagination,just the beginning.

 My "Angel of compassion" with Her blanket that covers .I've been enjoying painting all kinds of angels lately.I don't have My own style yet but so enjoying all the lessons.

 Angel of India,A study of darker complexions.With My own reminder to Myself "Let go,let God."

 Since January,the Lord has kept putting this thought in My mind.....When I get stressed, down and discouraged don't look back or down,look up and out to eternity. This has helped Me greatly and I wanted to share it with You.I hope I'm not repeating Myself.I might have already shared this,I'm having some forgetfulness lately. Hugs and blessings Your way-Denise

Put on Your Easter Bonnet.

.....With all the frills upon it,in the Easter parade.....Memories so sweet.

We wouldn't think about going to Easter church service's in the 50s and early 60s without our bonnets on.  Whether You were 5 or 85, churches were filled  with  Easter Bonnets on that one day out of the Year. In the 80s one Year on Easter morning I wore a plain straw white hat and I think I was one of a very small few,that was the last time I wore an "Easter Bonnet".Such fond memories I have of wearing Our bonnets to Church.... My Sisters, Aunts,Mother, both Grandmothers and even one of My Great Grandmas.Strutting around on the Church's lawn before and after service taking photos. That was one fun outcome of  the whole family going to the same church.I loved it as a young girl.

 Here's a couple fun easy ones for the little ones today....

I esp. love the first one : )                                                        Now this Grandma

is off to work around the house, keeping My mind busy on making new Memories. Blessing to all of You- Happy Easter-Denise

The love of color...Spring has sprung.

In honor of Smiling Sally a blogging friend We have lost this past Week.I colored some flowers. She loved the color blue and hosted a blue blog party. I'm also honoring with My coloring page...  Beverly at- The Sound How Sweet .She loves the color pink and is the host of a party for pink lovers. I found the colorful birds on Pinterest. A favorite color I'm sure, most of Us can find in God's own birds(My favorite is all shades of purple).          Spring is on it's way here in Southern Calif. and even though I'm preparing for Easter,I never forget Saint Patrick's Day.In Remembrance of My Mother's Grandpa,Claude Winn. I have been enchanted for many Years by Ireland.

I do love the Irish customs,lore and landscape.

I always have small tokens of the Irish around My home.

 A tag I made for a tag trade party.

  I want to thank those who left comments on My last post.All of You encouraged Me.I will keep blogging and hope for new inspiration. Hugs to all My followers,friends and those who just drop by for a moment or two.  Denise
