i heard a sayin
you are what you eat
so i say ya gotta like it
go ahead and have a seat
cause i’m gonna get you somethin
that can’t be beat
you’ll like yourself so much
you be dancin down the street
i don’t have me no jello
way to mellow
no doritos
or fritos
oreos
or cheerios
spagetti-o
or mango
they don’t help you
do the tango
tomatoes
are for cookin
and potatoes
are for mashin
just have you
some cheetos
man
and you’ll be right
in fashion

i received “one thousand gifts“, a book by ann voskamp.
and i started into the first few pages last night.

.

.

i like books.
old books, new books,
even-if-i-don’t-read-them books.

i ordered this book, “water paper paint“, by heather smith jones,
after visiting her blog for awhile.  i like checking-in on what she’s
been doing or seeing as it relates to art.

the cover of the book actually feels like watercolour paper.
the pages are soft and smooth
and filled with photos.

i don’t think this one is going on the shelf right away.
it calls to be felt and looked at.

.

.
this is a little house garland made from two 1942 children’s books.
one book being peter rabbit and the other mother goose.
the creative artist is chris theiss of hutch studio in la conner, washington.


i was visiting deborah at kickcan & conkers, where i noticed that she was
having a give away for the garland, so i hopped right on it.   


i was hoping to win, because i really liked it…and i did!


and now it’s here… all ready to hang :-) thanks to deborah and chris!
