Happy Easter


Easter Greetings
 
 
Today, on this special day,
I would like to take the time to
wish  all of my dearest friends
and followers a Happy Easter!

 I would like to thank you for
your sweet words and kind hearts! 

Your presence in my life
means the world to me!
Everyday I look forward to
visiting your blog sites
for inspiration and the wonderful
companionship  that you so willingly give!  

I appreciate the fact,
that in all of this big, wide world ,
our paths have crossed. 
I am so lucky to have met you
and can call you...
 my friend!


One Solitary Life



Here is a man who was born
 in an obscure village,
 the child of a peasant woman.
 He grew up in another village.
 He worked in a carpenter shop
 until He was thirty.
Then for three years
 He was an itinerant preacher.


He never owned a home.
 He never wrote a book.
He never held an office.
 He never had a family.
 He never went to college.
He never put His foot
 inside a big city.
He never traveled
two hundred miles from
the place He was born.
He never did one of the things
that usually accompany greatness.
He had no credentials but Himself...
While still a young man,
the tide of popular opinion
turned against him.
His friends ran away.
One of them denied Him.
He was turned ove
r to His enemies.
He went through the
mockery of a trial.
He was nailed upon a cross
 between two thieves.
While He was dying
 His executioners gambled
for the only piece of property
 He had on earth – His coat.
When He was dead,
He was laid in a borrowed grave
 through the pity of a friend.

Nineteen long centuries have
come and gone, and today
He is a centerpiece of the
 human race and leader
of the column of progress.

I am far within the mark
when I say that all the armies
 that ever marched,
all the navies that were ever built;
all the parliaments that ever sat
 and all the kings that ever reigned,
put together, have not affected the life
 of man upon this earth as
powerfully as has that...

ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

My Alice In Wonderland MiNi SCrAp BoOK

All About Alice

Last week, I entered these altered art collages
 in the Soartful Saturday Challenge. 
 I love all things "Alice",
 so when I started working on my entry,
I couldn't stop at just one collage!!
 I ended up making four collages
before I ran out of time!

  I turned all of them in for the challenge
and  decided to keepon creating more
 pages for a "All About Alice"
mini scrap book!

So here are my first four pages:











I will add more pages to this book as I finish them!

Thank you for looking
 at my art work
and visiting my blog! 
Have a great weekend!

Can't wait to see this Movie!!


   
 Alice In Wonderland

I love the characters in this
 movie and the digital effects are fabulous!!
All of Tim Burton's movies are my favorites!
The Night Before Christmas, Willy Wonka,
 and Edward Scisoorhands are
but a few of his great films!  
I have a feeling that this one will top
 every film he has ever made!


 Isn't she the perfect "Alice"!
I love her delicate chiffon dress!
 It's has such feminine details and the color
is  a light heather-gray and not the traditional blue! 
 It's a nice change!



This dress is absolutely exquisite!
This bright color of blue is
my favorite and is lovely with the
 black lace details on the bottom of the dress.!
The vintage gloves really give the
character of Alice a nostalgic appeal!




Another wonderful design! 
The details of the black trim and subtle stripes
in the material of this dress really
give it that  "Vintage Vogue" appeal! 
I wonder who designed these gorgeous confections!?!
The details of the set behind her are amazing!



One wild looking rabbit! 
 I don't think I would want to have tea with him!



But doesn't he look so sweet here?



The catapillar--spooky--but really "cool"!



O. K.,  I really don't want to have tea with him!!



Mad?  Yes, definately!
But off-the-charts-gorgeous  in real life!!
Right ladies!!




The Scottish plaid skirt adds a nice touch to the movie!
 I read somewhere  that Tim Butron wanted the 
movie to have that historical "Old World" appeal, 
adding costumes with a vintage feel for that
time period when the book was first writtten! 



Fabulous White Queen!



Tweedledum  and Tweedledee
They look like they just stepped out of the book!



The Red Queen!
Very Formidable!


I will let you know all about the movie 
 after I take my girls to see it this weekend!
I know it's going to be great!
My youngest son wants to go see it too! 
 Might as well make it a family event!
Can't Wait!

Have a great "Alice In Wonderland" Day!
Don't forget to stop and have a cup of tea!
