somewhere over the rainbow....

Good day all....

Last night I was attending a charity night held by Yayasan Perkasih, an organisation set up to financially support Bhakti Luhur Orphanage.

The orphanage was founded by Father Janssen in 1960. They take care of both mentally & physically disabled children & old aged. They have about 144 orphanages around Indonesia. 

During the event, there was this moment when three girls singing some songs. They are all have their disability to see. They sang 3 songs... and the second song was Somewhere Over the Rainbow... When I heard them singing the song I cried in tears... They really touched my heart... Yes they have their limitation to see the beauty in life... but they have their beautiful voices for us to hear....

Last night was really a beautiful moment for me... for  I could contribute something useful for the orphanage...  

A night before the event... I just made a card for Simon Says Stamp Challenge... It's a theme card we have to make inspired by songs or movies....

I chose to make a card inspired by a song.... Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland

I made the card using some images & sentiments from Magnolia Stamps colored with Distress Inks, decorated with Prima Pixie Glen Papers, Flowers & Pearls, Candy Rock Stickles, Martha Steward punches, ribbons...

I'd like to enter mine to Simon Says.... SING IT!!!! (Song or Film Title Inspired)

... and last thing....

here is the card made by my daughter few days ago... and it just happen to have the same theme...

"somewhere over the rainbow

way up high

there's a land that I heard of 

once in a lullaby

somewhere over the rainbow

skies are blue

and the dreams that you dare to dream

really do come true

someday I wish upon the stars

and wake up where the clouds are far

behind me

where troubles melt like lemon drops

away above the chimney tops

that's where you'll find me

somewhere over the rainbow

blue birds fly

birds fly over the rainbow 

why then, oh why can't I?

if happy little blue birds fly

beyond the rainbow

why oh why can't I?"
