The Baby Twins Gift Project

[Cheerfuljane]

It looks magnificent

[Frida]

Oh I don't know about that, I just pray it will come out looking decent enough, but thank you!

[kerche]

Frida - looks pretty decent so far! I love the colour!

I'll be donating soon myself. PM if it nears the 15th & I still haven't responded!...since I really want to be apart of it and am very forgetful

[Frida]

^ Haha, will do!

[ashleylovesceline]

You're doing a great job, Frida!

 

Let me know all of the card details as soon as you can, so I can get started. Whenever it's for Céline, my perfectionism goes into over drive so I'll need some time, lol.

[Frida]

Perhaps you can start to work on what is should say? You know, congratulations, so happy for you, wanted to send a gift, decided on a quilt, YAY we get to make two quilts, fabric sent from all over the world, donations to CF2, wish you all the best, blah blah blah.. I'll send you a complete list of participants next Monday

 

 

 

ONE WEEK LEFT TO PARTICIPATE PEOPLE! (August 15th)

[ashleylovesceline]

Ok, sounds good! I'll brainstorm.

 

Do you know when you're going to deliver it?

[Frida]

I believe Jane/Cheerfuljane has said she can help us with that (hopefully she's still up for it), otherwise we have that adress in Canada that could probably forward this to her (was the contact called Bridget?)

[anewdayhascome]

maybe Barnev would give us a hint?

[ashleylovesceline]

I believe Jane/Cheerfuljane has said she can help us with that (hopefully she's still up for it), otherwise we have that adress in Canada that could probably forward this to her (was the contact called Bridget?)

Ok. Just let me know when you have an idea of what the deadline is.

 

You mean Brigitte? It never hurts to ask!

That might be it, I have the name and address written down somewhere

 

 

 

 

Regarding the quote on the back of the quilts:

 

I'm working on the quilts right now and got an idea. Remember the song Celine wrote and sang at Anne-Marie's wedding? How about we use a quote from that? Her own song? That way we might encourage her to write more in the future?

 

When I met you

You were just a little girl, my baby

More than just a stranger in my eyes

 

But then

Oh so quickly you grew up before me

Girl, how you became part of my life

 

...

 

And now

As I carry life deep within me

So uncertain what the life can do

 

And we

We pray to God for just one wish

That our child be just like you

 

And I

I'm gonna love you forever

Always together

You'll always be part within my heart

 

 

Please post any ideas/quotes you think fit!

[Davey84]

aah yeah I like that idea!

[Frida]

^ Got any other suggestions Davey?

 

 

 

The front of one quilt is basically done (one to go ). We need to decide on what the back should say before i can continue with that

[anewdayhascome]

you mean suggestions for other quotes from other songs or or other suggestions in general?

Tout pres de bohneur line is great:D

[Frida]

^ I was thinking quotes from songs, yeah

 

 

Having a bit of a fabric crisis, not enough left to make the border the way I would've liked it, I'll have to solve that some other way... Hope that's okay with you

[Frida]

Going through the lyrics on the Miracle album:

 

You're my life's one miracle

Everything I've done that's good

And you break my heart with tenderness

And I confess it's true

I never knew a love like this 'til you

You're the reason I was born

Now I finally know for sure

And I'm overwhelmed with happiness

So blessed to hold you close

The one that I love most

Though the future has so much for you in store

Who could ever love you more?

The nearest thing to heaven

You're my angel from above

Only God creates such perfect love

 

When you smile at me, I cry

And to save your life I'd die

With a romance that is pure in heart

You are my dearest part

Whatever it requires

I live for your desires

Forget my own, your needs will come before

Who could ever love you more?

 

There is nothing you could ever do

To make me stop loving you

And every breath I take

Is always for your sake

You sleep inside my dreams

And know for sure

Who could ever love you more?

 

 

Lullaby and good night

In the sky stars are bright

'Round your head flowers gay

Set you slumbers till day

 

Lullaby and good night

In the sky stars are bright

'Round your head flowers gay

Set you slumbers till day

 

Close your eyes now and rest

May these hours be blessed

Close your eyes now and rest

May these hours be blessed

 

Bonne nuit cher enfant

Dans tes langes blanches

Repose joyeux

En rêvant des cieux

 

Quand le jour reviendra

Tu te réveilleras

Quand le jour reviendra

Tu te réveilleras

 

Lullaby and good night

In the sky stars are bright

'Round your head flowers gay

Set you slumbers till day

 

Now hush

My little one

Don't be afraid

Your daddy's right here

 

It's just

A little dream

And now it's gone

There's nothing to fear

 

So close your eyes

I'll sing a sweet lullaby

Lay your head close to my heart

 

(Chorus)

And sleep tight

The angels hover over you

They spread their wings

To keep you safe and warm

The starlight

In the heavens high above you

Will light a path

To find your way back home

Yes sleep tight

 

And now

My sleepy head

Your carriage waits

To take you off to bed

 

Let go

Your tiny hands

And drift away

To a bright enchanted land

 

I promise you

Your sweetest dreams will come true

Now leave this weary world behind

 

(Chorus)

And sleep tight

The angels hover over you

They spread their wings

To keep you safe and warm

The starlight

In the heavens high above you

Will light a path

To find your way back home

Yes sleep tight

 

So close your eyes

And wish upon the brightest star

'Cause when you dream

It doesn't matter where you are

Near to me or very far

I'll always be with you

 

(Whispered)

Sleep tight

Sleep tight

Sleep tight

 

They spread their wings

To keep you safe and warm

The starlight

In the heavens high above you

Will light a path

To find your way

And sleep tight

 

The angels hover over you

They spread their wings

To keep you safe and warm

 

I'll keep you safe

Safe and warm

I'll keep you safe

Safe and warm

 

My precious one, my tiny one

Lay down your pretty head

My dearest one, my sleepy one

It's time to go to bed

 

My precious one, my darling one

Don't let your lashes weep

My cherished one, my weary one

It's time to go to sleep

 

Just bow your head

And give your cares to me

Just close your eyes

And fall into the sweetest dream

'Cause in my loving arms

You're safe as you will ever be

So hush my dear and sleep

And in your dreams

You'll ride on angels' wings

Dance with the stars

And touch the face of God

And if you should awake

 

My precious one, my tiny one

I'll kiss your little cheek

And underneath the smiling moon

I'll sing you back to sleep

 

I will always love you

No matter what

No matter where you go

Or what you do

Knowing you

You gonna have to do things your own way

And that's okay

So be free

Spread your wings

And promise me

Just one thing

 

If you ever need a place to cry

Baby come to me

Come to me

I've always known that you were born to fly

But you can come to me

If the world breaks your heart

No matter where on Earth you are

You can come to me

 

Don't walk around

With the world on your shoulders

And your highest hopes

Laying on the ground

I know you think

You've gotta try to be my hero

But don't you know

The stars you wish upon

They fall that's true

But I still believe in you

 

If you ever need a place to cry

Baby come to me

Come to me

I've always known that you were born to fly

But you can come to me

If the world breaks your heart

No matter where on Earth you are

You can come to me

 

And if the seven seas you sail

Or the winding road you roam

Leave you lost and feeling all alone

Let my heart be your beacon home

 

If you ever need a place to cry

Baby come to me

Come to me

I've always known that you were born to fly

But you can come to me

When the world breaks your heart

No matter where on Earth you are

You can come to me

 

Close your eyes,

Have no fear,

The monster's gone,

He's on the run and your mommy's here,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Every day in every way,

It's getting better and better,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Out on the ocean sailing away,

I can hardly wait,

To see you come of age,

But I guess we'll both just have to be patient,

'Cause it's a long way to go,

A hard row to hoe

Yes it's a long way to go but in the meantime,

 

Before you cross the street,

Take my hand,

Life is what happens to you,

While you're busy making other plans,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Before you go to sleep,

Say a little prayer,

Every day in every way,

It's getting better and better,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Beautiful,

Beautiful, beautiful,

Beautiful Boy,

 

Darling, darling, darling

My beautiful boy.

Both fronts are done

[Claudette]

I like the idea of using the lyrics from the song she wrote for Anne-Marie.

[anewdayhascome]

We can use ANDHC lyrics (some part) with changed person like:

We were waiting for so long

for a miracle to come

we told you to be strong

hold on and don't shed a tear

sth like that. Just a suggestion which needs improvements of course.

[Frida]

^ Funny you should mention a variation of the ANDHC lyric, I had that in mind too, but something more like "We were waiting for so long for your miracles to come"

[anewdayhascome]

yeah it sounds good too, I just recalled the lyrics in a moment and haven't thought much about changing into right style. I think this should be included for sure. But we have to change the words in a good way, I mean so that it would be logical and still be visible that it's taken from ANDHC.

I don't know if other parts but those very first lines fits the context so well that it would make our "wishes" combined (Celine's song and our interpretation of it)

[Frida]

I was thinking we could have it written something like this

 

"INSERT QUOTE HERE"

 

Welcome to the world little guy,

we wish you all the best...

 

Love,

Mommy's friends over at www.celinedion.com

 

Name, country

Not exactly, but you get the idea

[nuts2you]

I do like the idea of the ANDHC, With I'm Alive added to somewhere,

[Frida]

Hmm, what part of I'm Alive would fit?

[nuts2you]

how about something from this

celinedion.com? Shouldn't it be CDF?

Just wondering???

 

However- I do like the format!

[Belle Céline]

Now do the lyrics have to strictly have to apply to just Celine? Could it be for her and both the boys? I think the line "I found my strength all in the eyes of two boys." would be cute just edit the original line "I found my strength all in the eyes of a boy."

[Frida]

Yeah I've posted the lyrics to Miracle a few postst up anf highlighted some parts, and ANDHC has been mentioned... More specific ideas/quotes?

Ooops, sorry, yes of course it should be celinedionforum.com

I like that too!

[anewdayhascome]

I think that changing ANDHC lyrics is the best idea. It fits the situation extremely well and it should the main thing in this "wishes" as we don't have to use many songs quotes because it could be too confusing. I think we will succeed:D Miracle lyrics are also good.

[Frida]

^ The plan has never been to include several quotes, we've just been posting different suggestions
