Some of you know that I have this crazyobsession with James Stewart.  I mean crazy, like I actually spent a weekend in his hometown (call it my pilgrimage to Mecca).  It started at a young age, from my love of his movies, of course.  As a middle schooler I was actually moved to tears by his performance in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.  (Maybe it was just puberty- who knows?)
In any case, my friends tease me about it (perhaps because I have told them about my dreams in which Jimmy confesses his undying love for me) and on one of these teasing occassions, I was shocked when a bystanding friend said, "Jimmy Stewart?  It figures- a rupbulican!"  A republican?  Quickly I realized he thought we meant Jimmy Carter.  He didn’t know who Jimmy Stewart was!  Shocker!  Just in case any of you might also be so unfortunate, I wanted to do a little post about my hero.  So if you have never seen a Jimmy Stewart movie (which I bet many of you have seen It’s a Wonderful Life) you must do so immediately.
Here’s one of my favorite clips from It’s a Wonderful Life:

Actually, I’ve been wanted to scrap a Jimmy page for a while now, but I can’t seem to get started, for fear of making a page not worthy of his wonderfulness (new word?).  I thought that Janine’s Elvis page was such a fabulous tribute.  And I wasn’t sure if I wanted to try and then proceed to screw up a Jimmy tribute.  But Julie (bmwgirl from SIStv) sent me some of his postage stamps in the mail last month…. and so now I feel a little motivated to use them in a LO perhaps.  I’m in desperate need of inspiration for scrapping with stamps.  PLEASE feel free to send any links my way!!!
