Well, sort of. I finished my card samples for the store and took the pictures. I just did the photo editing and emailed them along with a class requirement list to Bud. I have taken care of my part for next month's newsletter and website. Now I am typing up the class instruction sheet. This will take me a couple of hours as I have to try and decipher my writing. I worked well into the wee hours last night and my hand writing shows it. But I liked the results. I only redid one card and I have to say that is pretty good. Here is a picture of one of the cards.
I totally lost track of the month and now it is just before the first of May and I hadn't even started on my cards for my class! I don't know why this just slipped my mind or maybe I do. I got caught up in the Flower Book class that I took from Kelly this past week. It is just so pretty and I wanted desperately to not fall behind in class so I did my homework and not my card designs. So I have spent the better part of the day designing and making my cards. I am still working on them but hope to have the samples done by tomorrow. Pictures to follow, though that won't be till the end of the month. I will give you a sneek peek at one of them...
Yesterday was a day filled with classes. I taught one and took one. It was a hectic day and now today I will fill it with scrapping with my friend Camille. Though she will be showing up later this afternoon because she is going with her granddaughter's class to the zoo. Boy, do I remember those days and yea not really able to do that anymore. Not that I don't love kids it is just that many in a confined space (bus) for an hour to and from can't do it. Between taking a class and teaching mine I had some free time so I picked out the stuff for my class in May. I tried to post the pictures of my cards but the blog site is currently having problems with loading pictures so I will try another day.
I haven't been feeling too great the last couple of days thus no postings. I feel a little out of it and really cold. I hope it isn't something new to make us both sick...
Yesterday was the day for our monthly crafting day at First Christian Church downtown. Sarah, Janet and Mary were able to join us this time. We laughed, we oohed over scrapbook pages, cards and some quilting that were being worked on too. I managed to only finish two pages, one of a recent self portrait Sarah took and the other my page for Kat's challenge. The latter was what took me so long. We are supplied with a kit of paper and embellishments and a new challenge every month. This month's was to pick a picture that was colorful and that would pop off the page and also to cut at least one photo into a star or flower shape. Once I decided on what pictures I was going to use I would have thought that the rest would have been easy but no, the paper choices we were given in the kit was really tough. I am really pleased with the layout and I may tweak it just a bit with a couple of additional small tags. I haven't taken a picture of it yet but will then I will post it here.
ETA: Lisa is in Minnesota as I write this. She left this afternoon and landed at 5:30PM our time. She will be there till Saturday I believe. Columbia is opening another store this time in Albertville, I think that is the towns name...
I had lunch with some of my lady friends this afternoon. Mary, Camille, Angie and a surprise guest Megan Angie's daughter. We met at Applebee's on Liberty St. We each had some chicken dish of sorts all were good tasting. We spent most of the time catching up with each other and deciding what to bring for lunch on Saturday. This weekend is the crop at the church so I will be packing my car tomorrow afternoon sometime so I won't have to do it on Saturday morning. At 3:30 I picked Lisa up and we went to talk to the videographer in West Salem. Wow, I have to say I was very impressed and so was Lisa. She is ready to take out a loan so she can spare no expenses. I can't say that I blame her after all this is supposed to be it. One marriage for a lifetime...
