Title: John Lennon - Happy Christmas (War Is Over) lyrics

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...


This song and these words are so powerful...gets my heart strings every time....Peace and a very Merry Christmas to all, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noël, Cheers and Hugs

Remembrance Day...

Remembrance Day...
Taking a moment to remember our fallen heroes who have gone to dust,
is how we honor them for what they have sacrificed for us….
There is no need for war,
or for the loss of dear brave souls,
Let not their memories grow old, praise their spirits
For we need to remember this, in order to lose no more.

Peace to all...

MIY Recycled Shutter Decor, Magazine Rack

MIY Recycled Shutter Decor, Magazine Rack
Branching Out with texture to make a Magazine Rack

I just love shutters, I like to recycle them and utilizing them in various creative way
throughout my home. Fall week-ends are a wonderful time
to go antiquing or to promenade through flea-markets. I
recently had a garage sell to get ride of a lot of stuff I mainly
purchased at other garage sale. I noticed that the stuff that
I didn't’t sell is the stuff I really didn't’t want to part with. Like
this old shutter style door, so I painted it with a textured paint
and applied a free-flowing hand-painted branch design to give
it a modish edge. Branch, leaves and blossom designs are
very in this season and on everything from pillows to purses.
The shutter is now a stylish magazine rack, it’s out of my
storage and now serves a dual purpose, to organize my latest
magazines and to add elegant interest to an otherwise barren wall.
It’s a great weekend project, painting the branches and leaves
were quite relaxing to do.

Recycle Décor - Transform leftover vinyl flooring into Creative Halloween Mats

Recycle Décor - Transform leftover vinyl or linoleum flooring into creative Halloween Mats

Autumn is always a great source of inspiration. Why not get a step-on-it and
create a colorful and inviting pumpkin mat which is sure to add warmth to your
entrance while welcoming your quests this fall.

Mixing mediums is the key to achieving this rustic look by combining bright
acrylic paint colors and using oil pastels smudged over the dried design for
innovative detailing on simple vinyl flooring.Its a great way to recycle and reuse leftovers from a recent reno project. If you can carve a face on a
pumpkin you can paint a pumpkin mat!

Theres something so creatively rewarding about creating something with things that you already have, and recycling them into new creations...

MIY Recycled Jar Garden Luminettes...

This was one of the first MIY project articles that was published in the Gazette over six years ago. As a designer I was always transforming regular household items into new creative uses. Why, because it broke my heart to simply through out perfectly good items that could be re-utilized into new artistic ways. This project is what started my MIY columns and today recycling and green crafts are now a big trend! This has always been part of my creative philosophy and lifestyle since I was a young girl. This is what we did in our home growing up, especially in the summer at the cottage where we did not watch tv, we did crafts all summer long! And now I do the same with my kids and friends....and I still don't watch TV (only on occasion in the winter)

Looking for a fun way to recycle baby food jars and various jars into creative ways? Let the summer nights glow with easy to make glass jar luminettes using frosted glass paint. See how to make this super fun and easy green craft, visit www.miycreations.com/Green-craft-recycle-jars.html

MIY Spring Fashion Crafting by MaddyLane Designs

“Custom Spring Fashion Creations....Spring Fashion Revivals”:
This spring...don't just take out last years styles and hang them up...give them a little style and colors revival first”
I have just as much fun embellishing my clothes as I do with home decorative
accessories.... because I like them to be original. How to customize and reinvent your spring and summer wardrobe with style. As with home decorative accents, my rule of thumb is the same; you don’t have to spend a fortune to create the latest fashion trends to look and feel good. Make the most of your wardrobe by simply adding some substance, color and texture dimension. I utilized a combination of new and renewed items that I already had and liked, to all co-ordinate together. The results were so spectacular that I wanted to share with you how really simple it is to
transform plain fashion items into one of a kind original creations. Create fun Fashion make-overs with only a few basic supplies!! Have fun with your spring cloths!

MIY Photo Transfer Decor Project

These images are for keeps: Need colorful spring decorative accents to decorate your home for the new season! Incorporate your favorite pictures to re-vamp items that you already have! Lamination is fast and simple. Decorate
anything from wooden stools, business card boxes, coat racks to various
furniture pieces

Make gorgeous lasting impressions with your favorite photos. Laminating
images and artwork is a minimalist treatment that allows you to create eye-
catching decorative accessories in just minutes. This is an idea way to revamp
and spruce up plain wooden decorative items that you have around your
home. Decorating assorted wooden items from step stools and boxes to
serving trays is as blissfully simple as picking an image and ironing it on.

Miy Outdoor Tuscan Wall Bud Vase

Re-invent
The "as is" or discount section of home furnishing stores is a great place for unique finds that you can transform into something else. The basic cupboard door I used for this project is a good example. I filled the centre panel with granular paste, added small mosaic tiles, applied glaze for an Old World verdigris effect, and then secured a glass vase with wire. It is now an outdoor Tuscan-style bud vase wall hanging.

Miy Purple Pillow Panache...

Customized with color punch. Decorative throws pillows are the “in” décor accessories this spring...even if it's a little late in coming this year...you can get a head start on your spring decor..just for the fun of it :).

A plain white or tone-on-tone damask pillow cover can be transformed and color customized to suit your style and decor. Once I painted the walls, I realized that
this plain pillow cover needed color punch to suit the new décor. I painted it
with shimmering purple hue squares and decorated it by added silver rings
with metallic thread to give it an urban renewal look with a modern edge.

I also custom designed the decorations and wall art in the same colors tones to suit this specific space.
