  • *cracks self up*

    Ok, follow me on this one….Do you know The Humument?  (I wrote about it on Lisa's Gypsy Bonfire.)  While trying to locate myself a copy (when they were still hard to find) I found out there was a miniature version called The Heart of the Humument, seen below.  Well, I had to have that one too.  Not sure they are for sale anymore but you can easily get yourself a copy of The Humument on Amazon.

    That's the first part – and the second part is that the hymnal I got from ebay arrived today (thanks Aimee for the heads up).  It was teeny, and filled with lyrics only, no music.  (Heli's hymnal is way better!!)  One might think – how many Finnish hymnals does one girl need?  Apparently more than one!  AND LOOK!  Do you spy The HIMnal and the Heart of the HIMnal?

    I'm also beginning to wonder, if I'm altering the books, should they be called HIMuments?  No, HIMnal is much better – but can you see why I crack myself up?!!!!  Good grief, I make myself so happy.

  • Kiitos Heli!

    OMG!  Can you STAND it?  It has not even been a week since I posted about wanting a book of hymns from Finland, and Heli offered me her real, like check the postmarks, hymnal.  AND IT'S HERE!  She told me the sweet history of her church and I've even seen pictures of it.  HCIT?

    How cute, and clever is that message?  Heli, I AM THRILLED!  What a most generous offering.  Kiitos!

    MWhymnalarrives 

    Did you spy the deer in the cool postcard she enclosed?  It's a very special sign.  *wink* 

    The one I got off ebay isn't even here yet.  BUT THE ONE FROM FINLAND IS HERE!!!  THAT is going to be THE HIM-nal.  *faints*

    I'm pretty much a retail dunce as I found out when blog-reader Susan pointed out something she thought I needed.  Brighton?  Never heard of them (even though there was a shop in my mall!)  *smacks head*  So when Judi and I did our annual xmas-for-valentines exchange, she gifted me these.  She gets me.

    Yep, HCIT!

    EDITED:  did you read the comments from the last post?  Finnish hymnals are on the way.  Yes, plural.  HCIT times infinity.

    Huh?  Exactly.  Have you ever tried learning Finnish?  The only recognizable word for most of us is sauna.  Kirjakauppa is Bookstore.  If I was in Finland I would ask the hotel guy where to find a bookstore, or even better, a used bookstore.  (I already know where the concert venue is so I wouldn't have to ask about that.)  I'm on a quest to find a hymnal in Finnish.  I think it will be really clever to turn it into my HIM journal.  Recently some friends were in Finland and they visited a beautiful church – a hymnal was probably within reach…..I wonder what bad karma you would get if you stole one?

    Laura alerted me to the Finnish bible on ebay, and that's when I found the English hymnal, which I will alter and settle with unless a Finnish one surfaces in the next few weeks.  When I was with Judi last weekend I scored the dictionary – it has tabbed letters, really cool.  Speaking of old books – I wrote a little story about books for Lisa, found on her second blog: Gypsy Bonfire. 

    Speaking of second blogs, I've posted a new crusade on my Street Team.  Congrats to Hanna Andersson for being the Top Hat Pick for No. 28.

    And back to my visit with Judi….had a blast!  We tried really hard to get a good myspace-type photo of ourselves and giggled 'til it hurt when we broke her glasses.   I've sworn to delete most of the photos, (incriminating evidence – too much valkoviini*) here's what is left:

  • meant for me

    So I was tooling around through the Paperchase section of Borders and I found these cool paperclips.  They came in RED!!!  Got three packs.  Google for Iconoclasps to find some.  HERE is their listing on Fred & friends – always a fun place to browse.

    Here's another cool thing.  I keep a stash of tags and was rifling through them the other night when it occured to me that the beautiful heart wings (from PSX) could be used on the goth girl (from Stampotique).  How cool is she now?  Ah, simple stamping….still makes me so happy.

    I'm off to a slumber party with Judi!!  Have a great weekend.
