QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE - HURT

 The challenge word this time is "HURT"
I found this song by the band NINE INCH NAILS.
It comes from their album THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL.
It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song
and has also been sung by Johnny Cash and Leona Lewis.

Its a bit morbid for me and look what its done to my poor Doodly Bird.

QUOTES & LYRICS - CHANGE

The challenge this week is to find a quote or lyric containing the word "CHANGE".
I came up with this quote from the American actor and country music singer 
Jimmy Dean (born 1928).  He sang "Big Bad John".

" I can't always change the direction of the wind 
but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination"

I might be sailing in last but at least I'm here.
Thanks for looking.
Nip over to the Craft Barn to see some more quotes & lyrics

Craft Barn Q & L Challenge number 7: Change & Truth

Phew! I didn't think I was going to get this done in time but I started and was finished in about an hour once I knew what I wanted to do.

The Craft Barn's latest words in the Q & L challenge are Change & Truth. We are to use one or both words in our work and use a Quote or a Lyric. I chose to use Truth and found a fab quote from Mahatma Gandhi.

My page is very simple. I used chalks through a doily stencil, sprayed over with cheap hairspray to fix it and then used my wee alphabet stamps to add my quote.

I'm a bit wonky with them, but it's still easy enough to read I think, lol. Finally I edged my page with some pink & some white lacy tape.
Thank you so much for coming to look, I truly appreciate your comments.
