Get Out of Crankville . . . #1!!

-
So, a while back, I visited a little town called Crankville. Do you remember? (Click the link on Crankville if you forgot).

Crankville is an ugly place - kind of lonely - very quiet - sort of gray - not very crowded, although you can usually find SOMEONE you know when you are there. During that time, I realized I desperately needed to GET OUT. I needed to return to HAPPYVILLE. I allowed myself a few days in this town, but when enough was enough - I took the next bus OUT. All with the help of this card . . .


This card makes me HAPPY!!!

Yesterday and today, a dear blog friend (Leslie from {Words of Me Project} has been in Crankville. Yep, she has. So, I decided to spread the "Get out of Crankville" Love, and bestow upon her my very own "Get out of Crankville" card.

This post is dedicated to my dear friend, Leslie.

Leslie,

You are hereby gifted this post, with one "Get out of Crankville" Free Card! With it comes the opportunity to escape that cranky place you've been visiting ... whenever you are ready. Know that we are all here, in Happyville, waiting for your return! You have shared your creative spirit, your wise wise words, your artistic ideas, and your amazingly inspiring and motivating stories with all of us (so it is high time we allow you a few days of Crank!!!)  But when the time is right, hop right on that next bus OUT OF THERE!!!

WE love you!

Sincerely,
Your Happyville Friend

This may turn into a recurring post ... wouldn't that be fun? Not necessarily to LESLIE (as I know for a fact she doesn't visit Crankville very often). But I think I may need to send a little "Get Out Of Crankville" greeting to any blog friends who stop by that place. Feel free to grab a GOOC Button and display it on your blog, all for yourself!!!! SO FUN!

    Ah, the CRANKVILLE card! Man, it sucks when you are there! A map just won't do -- you need a get of crankville free card. I hope I don't need one for a long while!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
