Two Post in One Day!

Two post in one day, you know what must have frozen over!

Not really, I also just got done with my May page, so I figured I better post so I could actually start June's page in June! WhooHoo!

May's page signifies May Day for me. My brother and my son use to live in the same apartment building that I did, right on the shores of one of the lakes in Minneapolis. Every year on May Day we would go across the street and run with ribbons around a particular tree.

In keeping with my year's theme, it is these memories that give me peace. I know things change, but some of the great things that we do, I wish those could go on forever. But at least every May Day I think back on those times, remember and smile.

O Brenda, this is Lovely! Wish I could see all your pages and art in person and up close! Memories are definitely great, and all those experiences make us into what we are today... I think that is a good thing!?
Either way, Love this page--so Simple, yet Striking!

Your depiction of May Day is lovely. It must have been nice living near your brother and son and having this ribbon waving to look forward to.

I love the way you use the photos in combination with the beading. And I did look at all of your pages together on the (where everyone can have a page to post their work--whatever you call that). It's a great group.

Well, for one, I ADORE a May Pole and even more the idea of dancing around one!!! There's a festival every May in Pulsbo (I think), WA on the Olympic Penninsula where they have a grand huge May Pole and traditional Scandanavian dance performances all day. I've always wanted to go.

Brenda, even more, I have to tell you how smitten I am with your Madeline Island pieces grouped together (on the BJP website member page)... OMG, how lovely can one get!!!! If looking at these doesn't lift your spirits, I don't know what would.

Thanks for posting this and lifting MY spirits! Robin A.
