Another busy week and I feel like a bloody banker...(did I use the word correctly?) paying out for a new washer and dryer, transmission and heat and air work on the car, and new raised vegetable beds in the garden!!! All in all I have successfully done away with my savings account but will start putting back in this week. Love the new appliances and the way the car drives so I can't complain. I will take some pictures when I can to post of the new beds...nothing compares to a fresh tomato and only one word can describe it! Awesome!
Welcome all my blog friends from WOYWW! I am hoping to be able to make it around to more blogs this week and have a good snoop to see what everyone is up to! Not feeling well really limits my ability to get around...pun intended. I was just reading up on the ATC rules and regs for this year and I am going to make 25 +/- ATC to share so if you would like one please leave me a message or email me at okienurse@gmail.com with your address and your desire to swap.
So here is a picture of my desk this week...thought I would try for a different view this week! As you can see not much is going on. I straightened up a bit last night and haven't been back in since.
If you are interested in what WOYWW stands for visit with the awesome Julia at
Stamping Ground and she will fill you in on what it is all about!
I have been hearing so much about the Gelli Plates I decided to give in and give it a try until I went online to buy one and a small one cost so much that I decided not to. I started looking around for an alternative and ran across a YouTube video about making one out of gelatin. I am going to give it a try and see if I like the prints before I invest in one and find out it is just another of my many times of running out to buy the most awesome and can't live without product of the year. I have a closet full of those that I never even look at now but paid so much for this or that I can't bear to get rid of it. If you would like to make your own too visit
Linda Germain's blog for the directions and how to use it once you make it directions!
Thought I would leave you with a card I made for a stamping class I taught. I have heard so much about the triple mat cards I thought I would give it a try and I think that it was easy peasy enough the students liked it! Learning to stamp is hard sometimes and this was just plain fun!
Well that's it for tonight. I am going to go find a glass of iced tea, sweet please, and hop around to a few blogs before I go to bed tonight. It has been in the upper 80's (30's) so ice tea is in order. It was freezing here on Saturday night and will get close to freezing on Thursday again but for right now we are frying. Have a great week!
