A Friday Poem

The Measure Of Success

By Julie McElhinney

Perhaps I will never be

As famous as a movie star,

But it doesn’t really matter to me

To have mansions and fancy cars.

I just want to make a difference

In this world somehow today,

Show my worth and significance

In everything I do and say.

If I can bring smiles

To the faces of the ailing,

Then my legacy will go miles

Past the realm of the failing.

For success isn’t measured

By monetary means,

It’s something to be treasured

And is so much more than it seems.

I used the K Andrew Designs "All About Animals" stamp set on this birthday card. I used the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge.

A Thursday Poem

Firefly

By Julie McElhinney

I sit still in the darkness

Waiting for them to appear,

Appreciating that the cricket chirp

Is the only sound I hear.

All of a sudden I see it

A tiny flickering of light,

That disturbs the unbroken blackness

Surrounding the field of night.

Soon another flash follows

Like a signal from afar,

Awakening a plane

Of tiny flickering stars.

They glide across the field

Like a wave of flashing light,

Quietly they fly around

The silent guardians of the night.

You get lost in the patterns

Of the incandescent glow,

Wondering what kind of secrets

These wandering lights might know.

Princess Party Fun Invites

Working on Meggie's birthday party invitations. I used the K Andrew Designs "Of Mice and Little Men" stamp set and a swirl stamp from my stash. The crown cut is from the Princess Party Cricut cartridge.

Exploring Cricut Challenge Card

I made this card for the Exploring Cricut challenge. The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs "Splashtastic Summer" stamp set.

The sun is from - Create A Critter
The glasses are from - Paisley
The scallop is from - Paisley



Ohhh yeah!!!!! It's my day off and I stopped in at Joanns to look for Clearance items. Score!!! They had ribbon on clearance for. 50 cents and 97 cents. I majorly stocked up on ribbon as you can see here. Some of this will end up in future RCK packs for monthly prizes, so be sure to participate.

A Wednesday Poem

I wrote this poem for my husband for our 7 year anniversary, which is traditionally celebrated with copper.  I found four pennies with his birth year, my birth year, our daughter's birth year, and the year we were married. 

Pennies Of Time

By Julie McElhinney

Our lives are like these pennies

Gently aging through the years,

Some shine with their youth

Others darkened by their tears.

But no matter what the age

Or what they’ve been through,

Their worth is all the same

No matter what they may do.

Through the span of time

From the first date to the last,

I’ve come to appreciate

This time from our past.

You’ll find the date that you were born

And the date that I arrived,

You’ll find the date we became two

And the date our union thrived.

Now you have a collection

Of four pennies in your store,

Throughout the span of time

I hope we collect some more.
