Animation Friday - Put On a Happy Face

New badges available at the Buninyong Market tomorrow!

I love this song....

Gray skies are gonna clear up,

Put on a happy face;

Brush off the clouds and cheer up,

Put on a happy face.

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,

It's not your style;

You'll look so good that you'll be glad

Ya' decide to smile!

Pick out a pleasant outlook,

Stick out that noble chin;

Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,

Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,

Just put on a happy face!

Put on a happy face

Put on a happy face

And if you're feeling cross and bitterish

Don't sit and whine

Think of banana split and licorice

And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so glooming

She'd never laugh or sing

She wouldn't listen to me

Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place

Just put on a happy face

So, put on a happy face

Brown Owls Badgemaking

Lastnight was a fun night of badgemaking at the Brown Owls clubhouse. Gemma was the badge machine protector and queen, which was lucky because I just couldn't remember the correct sequence for all the little badgey bits and pieces!

Special guest star Anna Laura showed us how to make these cute little stuffed felt badges.

I borrowed Steph's Lolcats book because it just makes me laugh out loud....and Steph also bought along a themed pressie just for me.... a Smash Hits INXS badge from the 80's...how's that for cool!

I also started a cute little house badge that Pip had created but didn't get time to finish it just yet. I might keep stitching that one on the couch tonight.

Thanks again Kirsty and Pip for a lovely crafty night out.

Brown Owls Badges

Brown Owl emailed me to let me know that I've now earned two badges.

I've earned my stitching badge for stitching my name panel and membership panel.

I've earned my cooking badge for submitting my recipe for the Brown Owls Cookbook.

Yah!

Good Mail

Usually my postie only ever delivers bills, but today I received 2 lovely pieces of mail.

Firstly, this beautiful package from Sherrin. Talk about speedy service, I only ordered them yesterday and they are here already. Three gorgeous floral fabric covered badges and a pretty little block print card! And they were exquisitely wrapped up with yarn and a button (I forgot to take a photo before I ripped into it so I tried to re-create the packaging). The black one will look really nice on my black woollen cardi, the blue one on my green corduroy jacket, and I think I'm going to use the orange and purple one on a scarf.

Then, in the next envelope......tickets......already.....what's happened at Australia Post? Posties are never that speedy. Must be a slow mail week.
