Happy New year!

New year's eve I get ready to

go to the store and the car won't

start!  It needed a new battery.  I got

roadside assistance to come jump

it and then some friends met me at

Walmart to take me  home while

I waited.  On the way home we

stopped at the local winery and

did some wine tasting so they

could get a late Christmas gift.

I've never done that before and

it was fun!  I'm not much of a wine

person but I did enjoy the blueberry

wine.  And I don't even like blueberries!!

No internet all day yesterday.  That was

annoying, but I need to keep these

things in perspective.  It came on

around 4 am.  How do I know

this?  Because my dog got me

up at 4 am....This is getting

very old.

But as I've said before, my muse

is active early in the morning (although

four in the morning is early even 

for her) so I got a chance to make

a couple cards I've had floating

in my  head.  This one is pretty much

blatantly copied.  Just a bit of

tweaking here and there, but the idea

is the same as hers.  You have

to get your ideas somewhere!

I love how this turned out.  I wish

I could have used the entire flourish

but it was just too big for the

card and would have covered the

"just because".  I need to use

kraft paper more often.  I like how

it looks, especially paired with black.

I hope everyone had a great new year's

eve and let's expect good things 

in 2016!  It's got to get better, doesn't it?!

You have to look for the good even

when it's hard to find....

Also, I've noticed that the blog is
posting at very early morning hours.
Apparently that's the server time
because I'm certainly not posting at 2
or 3 am, LOL!
