New car!

This is my  new car, a 2010 Sebring.  Thanks to

my super-negotiator brother in law, Larry,

I got a really good deal.  I think it's going to be

a good car for me.  I still miss my prizm, but

it served me well for many years.  I think we

bought that in 2005.  I'm going to pick this

car up later today.

Robin just left and is going to have 

coffee with my dad before heading home.  

We had a good time together as always and

I will miss her very much.  

I did manage to make one card while she

was here, in between looking for cars, having

lunch with friends and the other things that

come along with having a guest.

It's simple and plain. The frame is popped

up on the front. I used alcohol ink

on the leaves.  It's done on yupo paper.

Some pronounce it yuh-po (Long O)

and some you-po (long O).  At any rate,

it is supposed to be an even better surface

for the alcohol ink.  I seriously didn't

see a lot of difference and I'm apparently

not doing something right.  For 10 3x5

sheets it's 10.00.  I think I'll just stick with

glossy card stock,  domino pieces and the

like.  Alcohol ink is designed to be used

with non porous surfaces.  I've been 

thinking about getting some small ceramic

 tiles and making  coasters.  I'd have

to put felt on the back and I'm not sure how

to seal it, but I did read about it once.  I

just don't remember what it said, LOL.

They would be very pretty though.

Happy Thursday!
