Girls rule!

I went to my in-laws, Larry and

Laurel's last night to play cards.

We usually play phase 10 and then

a few games of Farkle.  We just call

it dice.  I never even knew it had a

name until a few years ago.  Anyway,

I won cards.  I also won one dice.

Laurel won two dice.  Larry won

nothing.  Sorry.  Girls rule!

We are extremely competitive

and try to set each other in cards

all the time.

It gets very crazy when we play!

 

I am having so much fun with these patterns.

I ordered a bunch more the other day and

got an email yesterday that they have

shipped.  This time I ordered the 3D sheets

with them so I don't have to figure out what

to put inside the design.  I wasn't sure the

first time around  how big the patterns 

would be, what the sheets would look

like, etc. so I only ordered one.   I just think

this company does such beautiful work

and it relaxes me so much to work on them.

 

I made a little building the other day and

made the same mistake as Tim Holtz-

a huge designer of crafts and dies-

(at least I'm in good company) by putting

the roof pieces on and forgetting that

I had a second story to add.  The roof

pieces added too much bulk and it

didn't sit right.  I got aggravated and

threw it away.  The stupid part was

TIM HOLTZ had already made that

mistake and even though I watched 

the video and had the opportunity to

learn from his mistake, I forgot when

I went to assemble mine.  So....I have

another cut out and I'm going to give

it another shot.  Maybe I should watch

the video as I'm making the structure.

No, that would be too easy.  Do it

first and if it doesn't work then look

at the instructions.  That's my philosophy!

 

Happy Thursday!
