Gone fishin'

I like to fish but not in

cold weather.  I don't like to

do anything in the

cold weather! So this is the

next best thing.  Maybe it

will make me think warm. Today

is supposed to be in the

50's!  But we're also under a

wind advisory, so it's hard

to enjoy warm weather

when you're trying not

to be blown away.  I'm no skinny mini,

but in high winds I don't keep my

balance well.  Maybe I'm bottom

heavy...no maybe about that!!

For the background, I wiped a

distress ink pad on my craft sheet, then

spritzed it with water and laid the

paper in it.  It gives it a kind

of water colour result.  The fish is 

"fussy cut" and popped over

the coral.  It makes a perfect

guy card.  

I was going to try another technique that

I haven't done in a long time, but

I kept tearing the paper....

Yesterday I had a ferocious headache.  

4th day in a row, but this was the worst.

I spent most of the day in the

lazy boy with the dogs just dozing.

I did make it to class last night, 

though.  She asked me (in sign!)

to interpret for her and I managed

to get most of it, so I was pretty happy.

She's been doing more sign without

it being the lesson, just random, and

that helps me so much.  So, keep it

coming, Sam!

My sister in law, Laurel, and

I are going to Good Will- half

off today.  She is a champion 

good will shopper so I'm hoping

she can help me find a cute outfit

or two.  I usually go in and can't find

anything.  Laurel, on the other hand,

seems to come out with tags still on

the items.  I guess it requires a certain

"eye" for bargains.  After living

with my brother in law, Larry, who

is the champion at pinching a

penny, she's learned the lessons well.
