Black Bird Singing...

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Black bird singing in the dead of night.
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
All your life.
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly.
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly.
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
All your life.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
-The Beatles

Black Bird Singing

So I'm really liking how this page turned out. I've been singing this song since... Forever. I really love it to be honest. The lyrics are so powerful. And when I opened that Colorful Life paper stack by DCWV and saw those cute little black birds, I knew exactly what I was going to do with it. Today was a good day for me to make this page. Today I am feeling good, perhaps because I got some happy news about my grandpa. He finally got out of the hospital after 5 weeks, and multiple scary episodes. So what a better way for me to celebrate than doing a happy page?! These colors are completely out of my comfort zone. But then again, that gorgeous paper inspired me. If you don't have that paper collection yet... Go. Buy. It. Now. Seriously. Best papers ever. Alright, enough rambling for now! I hope you like this page as much I as do!!

See ya soon!

This looks great Marie - I love the branch with the birds & the bird house.
So glad your grandpa is on the mend as well! I never knew my grandparents - so give him a big hug from me :)
