Good Sunday Morning

How did a whole week go by

already?  And where is the summer

going?  Before we know it snow will be

on the ground and I am not looking forward

to it.  I wish I had the money to be a snowbird.

I hate snow more and more every year

and yes, I will complain about that.  Bring on

the heat and I will tell the Lord it's hot but I

am by no means complaining!  I make  no bones

to Him about how much I hate winter and how

I'm pretty sure the Lord of perfection made a

mistake in this case.  You know how when you

are on a vacation and you come home and 

you feel like you've been away forever?

When I got off the plane in California in 1980

I felt like I'd been away from home a very long

time and was finally back.  That's how I'm 

pretty sure God made a mistake in my case.

Maybe I was meant to be the child of a Hollywood

star and living in the lap of luxury right now.  I

can dream.

So, on to the card.  I was experimenting with

a mesh die I have, trying out a couple of

things I wasn't sure if I  liked or not.  I may 

fool around with it again later today.  But

then I came up with this card.  I wasn't

sure how it would come out but when I

got done die cutting it I liked it very

much.  The only change I might make is

the colours.  They are too close together.

I tied the ribbon right through the mesh which

I thought was very cool.  On the back of the

sentiment panel is a blank panel that you 

can write a greeting on.  I can't tell if the sentiment

panel is crooked or not.  It kind of looks like

it is but with the mesh it's hard for me to

tell.  Anybody?  Even if it is, that just shows

it's handmade, right?!

I'm looking forward to church even though

I don't think I can sign more than one song.

They are all so fast.  The problem is that

I can sign them fine.  I just can't keep up

with the song while I'm doing it.  Then I get

messed up and mad at myself and the song is

two thirds of the way through before I

gain my focus again.  Maybe someday I 

can get it right.
