SHANNON'S SENTIMENTS EARTH DAY BLOG HOP



Welcome to Shannon 's Sentiments Earth Day Hop!

If you have arrived here by way of Michelle's Blog, you are on the right track!
If you have not, please return to Shannon's blog by clicking here, to start your awesome hop!

Let's start this post off with a delightful poem :

"The Earth Day Poem" by Emeline for Earth Day 2008


Our forests are dying,
Our lakes are drying,
Mother Earth is crying,
and we must start trying!

Trying to save our Earth
giving back what it's worth,
toward a new day of REBIRTH!!!

Join the millions of people worldwide,
to begin to live with pride,
while waste begins to subside,
and conservation is taken in stride.

Use paper, not plastic bags,
Recycle clothing to use as rags,
Re-do, repair, re-dream,
Don''t buy new, buy green!

Walk or share a ride,
Conserve water town wide,
read a book, or play a game,
Live in peace without shame.

We must begin today,
there is no time to delay,
Mother Earth is needing you to pray,
On This 2008, Earth Day!

there certainly are some lessons there for all of us ...

Here is a card I made of scraps, my 'green' card, using a sentiment from Shannon's store, that I printed onto an offcut of scrapbooking paper, together with a free image off the internet. I coloured using coloured pencils and OMS, and matted that onto a piece of craft that I cut from a cereal box and used the unprinted inside.

Thanks for looking, and also for joining us on Shannon's Sentiment hop.

Giveaway......leave a comment on each of the hop blogs and a random winner will receive one image or set from the store of their choice.
