Today is the day!

Today I am going to meet Anthony and

use my sign language for the

first time with a deaf person.  I am

anxious and scared to death!  I hope

he will understand me and that I will

understand him as well.  This is

why I have been learning, to be

able to communicate with someone

who is deaf.  If God called me to this

as I believe He did, then He will work 

things out perfectly.  Not that the

communication will be perfect because

I know it won't be.  But that we

won't be too uncomfortable with each

other.  Cody and Anthony's wife

and possibly his two small children

will be there, so I won't be flying

solo, lol.    Sam and others have

told me that deaf people are thrilled

when hearing people go to the 

trouble of learning their language

so they can communicate.  He and

Cody communicate fairly well, Cody

said, through some sign and some 

made up stuff, maybe writing it

down.  I am really looking forward

to the experience.  Next month

I plan to attend "Deaf Deaf Deaf world".

More about that later.  It is quite

an experience, I am told.

My muse has been working overtime

this morning, and I made two cards

 which I am pretty happy with.  The 

Easter card is for Dianne.  I usually

don't make Easter cards, but

I saw a few pretty ones and it sparked

my creative juices.  This one is

not a CASE  (copy and steal

everything), but just a jump off

idea from other cards I've seen.  So

get to it already!!!

The next one, I

have had this stamp for a long

time and keep forgetting to

use it.  Unfortunately I have a lot

of stamps and tend to use

certain ones over and over

again.  I really need to

stretch and use some of the

other things I have.

The daisy die cut is from the

other set that I got for 30% off.  It

has 3 sized dies.  I love it.  I

will probably use it often.  Well,

if I remember, that is!!
