I got some new dies yesterday.  

They were expensive, but I love

them, so I think it was well worth

the money.  And Karen and I

have decided we aren't going to

enable each other in buying craft things

for a while.  Wonder how long that

will last???

This die set has 14 dies and

you can make unlimited combinations

with them so you will certainly be

seeing more cards using them.

This first one is for my sister, Robin, and

BIL, Steve, who have an anniversary

next month on the 8th.  They got married

one year and 6 days after we were

married, so this will  be their 16th

anniversary.  We would have been

married 17 years next month.

I met with two friends at the

Cupbearer Cafe in  Auburn yesterday.

This is a Christian coffee house and

they have speakers, singers, etc.

come in, as well as books, and community

dinners.  They also have coffee and

fellowship, of course!!  They  met

with me and we went over the songs

for church on Sunday.  I wish I had

asked them earlier as they were thrilled

to go over them with me.  I need to

start at least trying to sign the songs

even though I don't know them.  I

am so afraid of messing up, so I

don't even try!  Well, Sunday I will.

Especially  "Revelation Song" which

I do actually know.  I have heard 

tons and tons of Christian songs

and most of the songs they sing I've

never even heard!!  On Saturday they

go to church and practice signing while

the worship team practices, which I

didn't know, so I'm going to go to

that as well.  I've got to get over

this fear.  I mean, it's not like I'm up

in front of the whole church, I'm only 

at my seat.  Dianne says I'm too hard

on myself when I mess up and I guess

that's true.
