The song this week is:
Your Song - Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
-----------------------------------
I am so excited to see what all of you come up this week. So jump into your crafty zone and create something based on any of the lines of this week's song. Then come back and post your creation and maybe leave a comment to let me know what you think so far. You are free to participate anytime, but the deadline to be in the running for the prize is Sunday, April 25th at noon (cdt).
I jumped back and forth between 'Yours are the sweetest eyes' and creating a layout around a photo I have of my husband singing to the new baby. In the end Iused the line: "How wonderful life is, while you're in the world." as my title. I thought it was very fitting to how happy my kids are to have each other. Quite the thing to see considering how annoyed with each other most siblings seem to be...hahahaha. As soon as the design team is up and running (Have you sent in your app??? Details in the side bar) you'll have a little more eye candy to help inspire you each week, but for today you get my take on this challenge to start you off...
