10 Favorite Quotes and Songs

For this month's 10 on the 10th we're being asked to share 10 of our favorite quotes, Bible verses, and songs.  

These are prompts I've answered before and so I wanted to try and make sure I wasn't repeating any of my past answers (or not many of them anyway!).  You can check out my favorite quotes to live by here ,  15 quotes I find inspiring here, and Song lyrics that speak to my heart here. For today's post I am sharing those quotes and songs that have been going through my mind lately.  I figure there has to be a reason I'm hearing so many of them over and over again. 




Quotes:


1.  This too shall pass.

2.  What is meant to be will be.

3.  When life gives you lemons make lemonade.

4.  Treat every moment as a gift; that's why it's called the present.

5. Great minds think alike.


Songs:

1. "To Make You Feel My Love" (I like the Garth Brooks version from the movie Hope Floats)



2.  "Wrecking ball"  only the version I hear in my head is not being sung by Miley Cyrus and I only hear the chorus over and over. 



3.  "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by the Proclaimers



4.  "Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root




5.  "Home" by Michael Buble'

    Send Me On My Way is one of my all time favorite songs. It’s impossible to listen to this song and not be instantly in a good mode. I recently started a playlist of Italian songs from the 50’s and 60’s and I’ve never been so content with a set of songs. I’m hoping some day I’ll actually be able to understand what everyone is singing.

      This is one of my favorites too! I love that we all have this song in common. Every time I hear it from now on, I will think of both of you. :)

    "Home" by Michael Buble is also one of my hubby's favorite songs. That's one earworm I won't mind having today!

    I speak each of your favorite quotes multiple times a week. Great minds, huh? I had to listen to your songs as I wasn't immediately familiar with a couple of them. I like "Wrecking Ball" but hadn't heard Zoey's version. That is a kind of cool TV show. Michael Buble has such a smooooooth voice. "Home" is a beautiful song.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
