Triple flip card

As I've said previously, I don't

usually make square cards simply because

they cost more to mail.  This one I couldn't

resist and I'm thrilled with how it turned

out.  The card is supposed to be 

made with a special die, but so what?

Why spend the money for a die when

you can make your own?  It looks

just as good (if not better) than the

one made with the special die.

Note to self: make sure you have enough

of the same paper when starting a 

project.  So the envelope will match

the tan piece in the third picture.  But 

I'm really, really happy with how

it turned out.

Tonight is the last class for level 3.  I 

definitely want/need to take the class

again. I also need to buckle down

and study more.  I am stunned at

how quickly I am forgetting words

if I don't use them much.  The problem

is that I don't have anyone to practice

with.  I am enjoying the new church

I'm attending and learning quite a

bit from watching Pam.  So I'm glad

I decided to give it a try.

I may not post anything on Wed. ,

I'm not sure.  Cody and Pam are

taking me to the casino in Battle Creek

(did I already say this?  If so, sorry)

so I'm looking forward to that.  It's kind

of a birthday/mother's day present to

me and Cody.  I lived in Las Vegas

and never set foot in a casino!

I was only 20.  I played the slot

machines in the grocery store, laundromat

(no kidding!) and other places, but

not the casino.  And who had the money

anyway?  So this will be exciting.

The Chief of the casino came into the

store where John was working years

ago to buy some furniture and tried

to get John to be the IT guy for the

casino but he said no because he

wanted to retire and not keep driving

back and forth to Battle Creek.  It would

have been pretty cool, though!
