Fancy fold

I saw this fold the other day and I don't

think I've ever made one like

it.  Maybe close.  Maybe I have

 made one like it.

As I get older the memory gets

worse.  What am I saying?  My

memory has always been terrible.

I have notes everywhere.  Notepads

everywhere.  I try to keep the notes in

some semblance of order, but I

can't find them most of the

time.  Which really defeats the

purpose if you think about it.

I think I have made one similar to this, but

the flap was on the left like a traditional

card.  This one has a card within a card like

that, but opens on the right, then tucks in the 

front flap.  I thought it was interesting.

It makes for a bit of a bulky card, but I don't

think it will cost any extra to send.

Bri is coming over today after clothes shopping

with her dad for a last overnight hurrah.  Michigan actually

sends their kids to school after labor day.  What

a novel idea!  I remember when we moved there

my parents didn't do their research and the

school had already started.  In August!  I

was horrified.  And school had already

started for the day so I walked in to

a classroom full of students.  Parents,

if you are going to yank your 16 year old

from everything she has known into a

blink-your-eyes-and-miss-it town, make

sure you do your research and don't make

her stand out any more than she already does.  

Interlopers are  not accepted in that town.

I hated the school, hated the kids and am

still to this day not too happy with my parents

for doing that to me.  

OK, now with that out

of my system for the moment, back to the

reason I started this....I have a project

in mind to do with her that I hope will

turn out and if so will post it tomorrow.

We have so much fun together and she

is (poor kid) so much like me it's scary!

We're going to go out for Chinese food, too.

We did that last time she was here and really

enjoyed it.  Except that she has gone vegetarian

for a year.  She quit drinking pop for a whole

year, too.  In those ways she is nothing like

me.  I don't understand people who only eat

veggies (I hate them) and worse, that

drink no pop.  Diet coke is a staple for

me.  If I didn't drink it I would shrivel

up and blow away from dehydration

because another thing I hate is water.

I have a lot of hates in my life.  I really

need to lighten up!

Off to get ready for church-which I don't

hate!  Have a great rest of the long weekend!
