ON TO THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE!!!!!

As you know, the first week of each month is movie tribute week, and this month we are honoring the film "Garden State," by featuring the soundtrack song "Let Go" by Frou Frou. I have to say that Garden State is one of my all-time favorite movies. It's one of those little movies with a lot to say about life. Quirky and just beautiful. "Let Go" is a unique song that really captures the message well. To see the lyrics, don't forget to click on the widget in the sidebar.

Once again we have a wonderful sponsor for you this week!

Pixiepetals is a blossoming of blooms, bits, and bobs inspired by all things vintage, lovely, and shabby. Come discover silk flowers, bitty brads, vintage lace and trims, and other embellishment delights perfect for all your crafting needs!
