Challenging myself ...

So I've played along with other blogs and their challenges, and I might not have the traffic for my OWN kind of challenge, but I have decided to start my own. Even if its for my own satisfaction...
here goes.

I'm going to try and do 1 week of a song title, or song lyric inspiration project. Whether its a card, layout, or anything.

I have had lots of time to think about this, and I truly believe that crafting is my therapy. When things get crazy here, or unbearable, instead of picking up that bottle of Jack, gimme some paper and some glue, and I am on cloud nine. heh.

If anyone would like to play along, I'm thinking I could gather up some things for a prize for a winner. Winner will be picked at random by a generator.
SO.... here we go...

A completely random song will be picked for each day.
BUT, for this week, I think I'll go with a specific decade. Let's do ......
the 19.......
80's !!!

It was my FAVORITE decade... (and the one I was born in...) so.... LET'S DO THIS...

RECAP:: make anything. card, tags, layout, etc.
Use any part of the song. Lyric or title.


Monday, September 5th, 2011 and our song is ....

Kool & The Gang Cherish

... and in case some of you are like me, and need the lyrics, here they are!

Let's take a walk together near the ocean shore

Hand in hand
You and I.
Let's cherish ev'ry moment we have been given

For time is passing by.

I often pray before I lay down by your side;
If you receive your calling before I awake

Could I make it through the night?

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live

Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have for as long as we both shall live

Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love.

The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same

But love was stand the test of time.
The next life that we live in remains to be seen

Will you be by my side?
I offen pray before I lay down by your side; . . .

Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live - baby yeah -
Cherish the love
Cherish the life - oh yeah -
Cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have - while we're together -
For as long as we both shall live - will you love me -
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love.

Cherish the love
Cherish the life.
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live

Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have - ev'ry night when I think about you -
For as long as we both shall live -
I pray that my dream will come true
Cherish the love
Cherish the life -
Yes
I do - cherish the love.

Cherish the love we have -
We have cherished ev'ry moment we have together -
We should cherish the life we live - hand in hand
You and I -
Cherish the love
Cherish the life - baby - cherish the love.
Cherish the love we have for as long as we both shall live

Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love.

These are what I came up with... Maybe you can use as inspiration... Have fun!
