There is one universal: No matter how young we are, we are all growing older. This is the theme for today's Skinny Saturday, which as far as I'm concerned is a happy thing! I might have been prettier and skinnier when I was younger, but if going back in years means leaving all the lessons I've learned behind, then I'm much happier growing older, and hopefully, wiser!
Forget about the things you might not be able to do as well. Usually, they aren't the most important, and even if they were, why stress over what's gone? Now, think about your talent. It doesn't decrease with time. It's one thing, unlike your hips and your knees, that the more you use it, the better it gets! So say "hooray" to growing older! I love this theme!
There are no stamps on my skinny, just a music sheet (which just happened to have the lyrics "growing old. . .how lucky is that!), a photo image and some cranberry cardstock. Brown rub-ons from Basic Grey, a couple of stick-ons from K&Company, and a piece of ribbon to finish it off.
Hope your weekend is wonderful!
Wonderful skinny Barbara! I'm with you, hooray for growing older! Your image reminds me of Heidi and Grandfather, very sweet, great colors too!
