Happy Saturday!

Today is the next to last Saturday

sign class.  Last Monday was the

last class for that day and this Monday

we are meeting at a restaurant

for a "silent dinner".  No talking

period, even when ordering.  This

should be interesting since I doubt

the wait staff will know sign language!

But it should be fun as well.

It looks like it's going to rain which will

interfere with my planting.  I hate

yard work with a passion which is

why I am planting vinca in all the

"flowerbeds" .  There were bushes

all around the entire house and I

hated them so much.  I finally

got them all out and the vinca will

make them look good and work-

free.  And the vinca is free as well

since my SIL, Laurel, wants to get rid

of some of hers.  It is choking out

her flowers since it grows so fast.  

Perfect for me!

I have made a couple cards, none of

which I am happy with, but here they

are:

The fancy mat is a die cut .  I bought

the die last week on sale big time.  I was

happy about that-wouldn't have bought

it otherwise.  The little sprite is a 3-d

image.  You place smaller parts of the

image on top of each other and they

end up standing out.  I don't know 

how to explain it really.  It's called tole.

 

Double pocket cards with bookmarks

in the pockets.  The ferns are also a die

I got on sale.  I've been spending way too

much money on craft stuff lately.  But

this months the electric/gas company

settled up with me as I am on the

budget program.  So this month's

bill was nothing and I have 38. credit

for next month.  Soooo, I went a little

crazy!  Hobby lobby being right here

in town is not good for my checkbook.
