Just a little smile to brighten your day

 

Sometimes I come across something that just makes me smile and this guy certainly did it for me, hope he does for you too.

- THIS looks like it might be fun to try doing.

- THESE are so cute!

- A few of THESE could brighten your life.

- There's a number of links HERE for some quick quilt patterns.  And if you have some layer cakes you would like to use up, perhaps something HERE will be just what you need.

Today your quote is by George Orwell..."In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act"

      Glad I made you smile! Donkeys are so cute but they can be cantankerous too.
      You are head down and chin up, we're elbows up!

      Yes, that's my thought exactly. I'm trying not to make my blog overly political because I think sometimes it's nice for people to visit and not be upset about the state of the world. The quotes, however, might be a tad on the political side.

    Yes, God was showing his sense of humor with the faces of Donkey's and their smiles. I'd include goats as well. They are hilarious. Then there is the sound of a bunch of ducks quacking. They sound like a group of folks laughing at you.
    Thanks for the quilt ideas.

    Yes, I agree about goats - particularly little ones when they're playing.

    Sherryofcreateology: Yes, I am smiling. That face is just too sweet! Lots of good links and I thank you for keeping me inspired. George Orwell comes through once again. I just finished reading his book, “Animal Farm” with the fiftieth year edition photos.

      Glad that fellow made you smile Sherry! I don't think I've ever read 'Animal Farm' and will have to put it on the list.

    Love the smile. I really enjoyed Animal Farm, but the thoughts behind it are very deep.

    God bless.

    For sure those plaster dipped fabric flowers will be lots of fun to dip and paint!

    LOL on the donkey! Thanks for the links. I like the daffodils, so cute and they will brighten up any home during spring.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
