Sing!

Hi everyone!  Happy Sunday!  Today I would like to share a layout that I made for the One Little Word blog:


I was challenged by one of their design team members, Jessica, who visited my blog and asked me to join them this month at OLW for the word sing.  She said:  "maybe you can release your inner voice!"   Since release is my one little word for 2015, how could I resist?  

So  . . . here is the layout I came up with using their word for the month, sing:


with some different views:


I love that Sesame Street song "Sing a Song" that was sung by the Carpenters!!  It just makes me happy and want to smile.   I used my new papers from Webster's Pages - the collection is entitled "Nest," and it is filled with beautiful papers like the one I used for the background.  And I found this photo of a robin singing in my stash, so I enlarged it and cut it out.   Thank you,  OLW, for the inspiration to make this layout!

I also would like to share some photos of Anne - we celebrated her 12th birthday on January 15th, then had a little family party for her.  (We sure did miss having Katie here as she is back at Penn State!)


Anne loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

Her cousins came to help her celebrate her birthday:

She enjoyed all of her gifts:

And my mom came because it was her 84th birthday this month, too!  
Anne loved sharing her party with Nana!

And here is Anne with her cousins:

A fun time was had by all!  

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!  I hope that you are having a good January so far.  We were just hit by a snow storm and got about 7 to 8 inches of snow on Friday night.  I heard that we may get some more tonight and tomorrow night, too.  Old Man Winter is definitely here.

Hugs to you all.  Stay warm!

They are such special days because they make such special memories. I hope the new year is going well for you and your family Sharon!

    Hi Sharon! I love your page; it's so pretty and dreamy. I do remember "Sing" from Sesame Street, but I never realized that the Carpenters sang it. I'll have to see if I can find a YouTube clip of their rendition.

    Happy Birthday to Anne! Here cake is cool. Has your family seen the movie Framed, starring Trevor Eve? We just watched it as a family last week, and it's really sweet. It also has some Ninja Turtles references, so I think your family might enjoy it. :)
