WOW...what a week I've had. Helped Jim install a new garbage disposal and determined that neither of us is as limber as we used to be; OR, the area under the sink has gotten smaller and the units ten times heavier.
Had a birthday and received some beautiful cards from family and friends and also my very own purse-size digital camera. My 3-D experiments will look much differently when I upload them to my blog once I master all of the settings.
I found a solution (no, Jim gave me the solution) to feel younger. You deduct ten years from your actual age...believe me it works to eliminate depression. If you don't look in the mirror you will feel like a spring chicken. And, if you do see your reflection, it is probably your mother, not you.
I did several experiments playing in my sandbox this past week. I played around with the Martha Meyer layering Adirondack inks, as presented by Marion Davis in a class at Oriental Stamp Art. As with all of my experiments I do things just a little bit differently. Rather than leaves, I used a diecut of a flower to mask off an area of the card prior to adding color. I also added some LuminArte sprays along with the Ranger Colorwash sprays.
Because winter is on our doorstep, I did some caulking and need to finish putting the lawn and patio furniture away until spring. I'm still waiting for my tulip and daffodil bulbs to arrive and they will need to be planted before it freezes.
It is my turn to do a make'n take at stamp club next week so I've been experimenting to tweak an idea that surfaced moons ago. Will show it after we meet and the gals see my project.
Have one more swap to get mailed and then I'm caught up for October and I do need to get busy with my Xmas projects.
Can you believe it is the weekend already?
