Glory of Love mp3

So it’s been a while since I’ve sat down at the piano, pulled out my microphone, and recorded a tune. A couple of evenings ago, the urge overtook me after watching the 80′s movie
Beaches.


If you haven’t watched it, you’re missing out. I highly recommend the film, but make sure you have a box of tissues handy ’cause you’ll need them. It’s basically the story of two women (played by Bette Middler & Barbara Hershey) who meet as children and have a lifetime friendship with all its ups and downs.

One of the songs Bette Middler performs both at the beginning and end of the film is an old classic called “Glory of Love” (nope, not the Peter Cetera song… but the one written by Billy Hill that was a smash hit in 1936). I downloaded a jazzy arrangement to play on my piano & sang my interpretation. I hope you like it!

You can download a copy HERE.

Metal die storage

I’ve been looking for a good way to store my metal Nestabilities and other dies for a while. With a little Pinterest inspiration, I finally found the perfect portable solution.

I had a couple packages of 13″x13″ cardboard Zutter sheets on hand (nice and sturdy). They come in packs of four. I adhered magnetic vent covers to one side (courtesy of Home Depot), which were easily cut to size with my paper cutter.

The finished sheets happen to fit perfectly inside of an Artbin super satchel container. You can generously fit 5-9 sets of dies per sheet. So needless to say, I have room now to grow my collection!

Hippie child

My best friend was visiting this weekend from Florida with her family (always so wonderful to spend time with her). We managed to squeeze in a lil’ painting time and this girl appeared on my canvas. I think my inner hippie wants to throw a party! Lol.

Wishing you a fun-filled week,
Laura
