"Come on get happy"!

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Mar 1, 2011 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

“Hello World there’s a song that I’m singing, come on get happy”! (name that tune) tell me at the end of the post who sings it!
I have had this pretty wood and metal cross for sometime now.  A friend gave it to me, as she thought she had no place to put it in her house. That was until she saw what I did and where I put it.
Then she thought perhaps she made a mistake giving it away!
It has was painted black around Fall and Halloween time.  It certainly need a spring makeover.
 A bit blahhhhhzaaaa I would say!
 Looking like a bit of sunshine around here!
More fun Spring changes to come. Stay tuned!
Thanks for stopping by, hope you had a dose of inspiration today to add some fun happy color to your world!

    I love how you transformed this piece! It just screams Spring to me.

    My first thought about the song was that it was old & sung by Judy Garland. It was also sung recently on Glee. But then of course, The Partridge Family came to mind as well.
