Happy Monday morning!

Well, it was a thought.  I know some

people who do NOT look forward

to Monday.  I don't really care one

way or the other, to be honest.  It's

just another day.

I made my cousin's birthday card

in time to get it in the mail.

I used the sanding block to sand

the cardstock, revealing the white core.

I'm not super happy with how it

turned out.  I should have used another

embossing folder, but I didn't have any

that I thought would look good either. 

It needed a smaller design.  Maybe

I need to get some more folders.

But hopefully she will like it.  The ribbon

is pushed through a slit in the

card and carried behind the inside of

the card.  I thought it would be too hard

to try to wrap it around the blue mat.

Also, this way I could slide the knot

to where I needed it when I put the

oval on.  Generally speaking I have to

lift the ribbon and move it since I 

never seem to put it in the right place!

I'm looking forward to lunch today with

a friend. I've never had lunch with her

before, so it should be fun.  This is going

to be a busy week getting ready to leave

on Friday.  I'm excited, but not crazy 

about the 12 hour drive.  I suppose when

the time comes I will have so much

adrenaline rushing through me that it

will be a breeze.  At least that's how it

was last year.  I have my Newsboys,

Building 429 and misc. cd's ready to

listen to all the way there, so I'm set.

And let's not forget that I won't be alone

during the trip.  Jesus will be right beside

me.  I sure wish He would drive, though!
