All of these arrangements were hand-picked and arranged by me from the flower shop of course...I would love to have a garden with these flowers one day

Creative mind...Crafty Hands

I've always had a knack for crafts and decorating. When it came down to family parties or creative assignments in school, my natural inclination for these things was on high alert...I just HAD to dabble my hands in these things and have some kind of part in the decorating.

I LOVE flowers, tissue paper, adhesive letters, balloons, doilies, ribbons, pins... etc!

Here are some of my crafts:

In 2011, I had the honor of decorating my God-Daughters's Princess themed baby shower.

I constructed "diaper cakes" for the centerpieces using princess crowns as the toppers, ribbons, and other cute keepsakes.

The supplies:

The finished products

 The paper onesies were used as "Love Notes" to share words of encouragement to the Parents to be and to the baby.

I also had cd's made with adorable songs to celebrate the "Princess'" arrival. Each song title read into a full poem...it was super cute.

Games

For games, we played the traditional bottle drinking contest and the guess the belly size game.

The picture above was a game that we played called: "Guess who's that baby". I collected baby pictures of family members and the guests had to figure out who was who!

Another game that we played was "The diaper game". In this game, popular chocolate candies were smudged on diapers to emulate a dirty diaper. Participants had to guess the chocolate candy smudge on each diaper. It was nasty looking, but sure was fun seeing the guest dive nose first in the diapers.

I'll paint all the world for you babe

I fell in love with this song on first listen! 

Big K.R.I.T uses an extended metaphor to "paint" the struggles of his failing relationship with a girl that he loves who seems to no longer understand him.

He paints a picture of the potential of their love "that's clear as day" with hope that she would come back home, but chick seems to be oblivious to his efforts

Awesome imagery and lyrics!

Read the lyrics below:

Oh, the sweet essence of being FREE!

Can you guess this music trivia: 

"Ohhh, I'd like to greet the sun each morning and walk amongst the stars at night, I'd like to know the sweet taste of honey in my life!"

The Commodores (Look at Lionel Richie at the top right corner!)

If you guessed "Zoom" By The Commodores, you guessed right! 

This song is ab-so-lute-ly liberating and soOo very beautiful to me. In addition to the exquisite musical composition and vocals, the lyrics carry me through a celestial space of self freedom and genuine happiness!

 Its an amazing feeling that celebrates liberty, acceptance of the past, self-realization, hope, growth, and the concept that "life goes on!" 
Lyrical reference: ("Well I've shared so many pains, and played so many games, but everyone finds the right way, somehow...someway...someday")

The song embraces liberation and freeing of the mind where "one can find the love that they have longed to see" and "people can be what they want to be!"

REAL and GOOD music "strokes your mental" and after listening to this song, I HAD to share my liking for the message in this song with some friends. Here are some enlightening realizations that they added about "Zooming" far away from mental entrapment to a place of being free:

"Freedom" and "liberation" must first be understood as conditions of mind and spirit not the physical.. so therefore, You could be captive in a physical prison and still be "free"... you could be captive in transient circumstances and yet be "free"...your job may inflict injustice on you and yet, you're "free".. friends and colleagues could denounce you but yet you're "free". I am FREE.

Our mind tends to conform to the norm because of what is commonplace which shackles oneself from possibility.  The realm of possibility is endless as long as you are comfortable with letting your mind and body be open to possibility.  Being free is a concept in which your mind knows no bounds to the extent of life.  I am FREE. 

...What an AMAZING feeling it is to be FREE!
