RT No. 4 & GPP No. 35

I believe in signs.  I have written several times about the *signs* I have for loved ones.  I love the connection between *things* and *thoughts of someone*.  I love that thinking of someone can be prompted by seeing something unique and specific.  That is exactly what Crusade No. 35 is about – What's Your Sign?   

Slightly more complicated to explain is what I consider to be *sign transference*.  Here's a great example:  yesterday my friend Carrie sent me an etsy link to go look at some cute deer.  She sees deer and thinks of me because she knows that deer make me think of Shannon.  It's a big wide circle of thought….a ripple effect.

Ruby Tuesday pages for this week happen to work for the Crusade too.  I have two very special friends *P*, and *E*, who have never met, (yet remind me of each other).  Both of them claim the cardinal as the sign for their Grandmother.   Because they shared that with me whenever I see a cardinal I think of them.  It's all so special, because it widens the circle of thought and remembrance.  Sign Transferred.  Sure, may not be such a thing….but it makes sense to me *grin*

    When my sisters husband passed in October two years ago.She had encounters with squarrels coming up to her window and thumping slightly to get her attention.She remembered how her husband always made a point to leave them something special and couldn’t help but wonder if they were looking for him…and in turn now, whenever she or I see one we think of him

    Beautiful pages! And thank you for linking to me! I need to update, this is good incentive 😉
    Sharon, that’s really interesting about your brother in law. Squirrels have always been my thing too 🙂

    Indeed you are the QUEEN of signs. I now take more time to stop and notice associations.
    More juicy pages too.
    Thankful for your friendship, your support and this inspiring meeting place!

    Happy Turkey Day. I will always associate pink with Shannon and especially pink roses.

    Well, I guess I’m a member of the Cardinal “circle” too! They were my mother’s favorite bird, and I think of her often while watching them here on our property. Loving your Ruby Tuesday pages too!!

    I didn’t get anything done for the sign crusade, but I thought about doing a cardinal page because I usually think of a certain special someone who has cardinals as HER sign.
    I did post a photo on my blog today. I took it from the car while traveling last weekend. There were jet trails in the sky that I didn’t notice (I was focused on the clouds) until I downloaded to my laptop. I am always reminded of my Dad when I look at them. He was fascinated with them & I enjoyed watching him spot them even after he was affected by Alzheimer’s Disease.
    I really like your spread. The simplicity of color scheme makes the cardinal all the more striking.
