As I've said previously, I don't
usually make square cards simply because
they cost more to mail. This one I couldn't
resist and I'm thrilled with how it turned
out. The card is supposed to be
made with a special die, but so what?
Why spend the money for a die when
you can make your own? It looks
just as good (if not better) than the
one made with the special die.
Note to self: make sure you have enough
of the same paper when starting a
project. So the envelope will match
the tan piece in the third picture. But
I'm really, really happy with how
it turned out.
Tonight is the last class for level 3. I
definitely want/need to take the class
again. I also need to buckle down
and study more. I am stunned at
how quickly I am forgetting words
if I don't use them much. The problem
is that I don't have anyone to practice
with. I am enjoying the new church
I'm attending and learning quite a
bit from watching Pam. So I'm glad
I decided to give it a try.
I may not post anything on Wed. ,
I'm not sure. Cody and Pam are
taking me to the casino in Battle Creek
(did I already say this? If so, sorry)
so I'm looking forward to that. It's kind
of a birthday/mother's day present to
me and Cody. I lived in Las Vegas
and never set foot in a casino!
I was only 20. I played the slot
machines in the grocery store, laundromat
(no kidding!) and other places, but
not the casino. And who had the money
anyway? So this will be exciting.
The Chief of the casino came into the
store where John was working years
ago to buy some furniture and tried
to get John to be the IT guy for the
casino but he said no because he
wanted to retire and not keep driving
back and forth to Battle Creek. It would
have been pretty cool, though!
