Less than 63 hours to go!

In a little over 62 hours I will be...
...picked up by my friend Bob and adding my necessities
to a van full of other people's necessities.
...traveling to a little town in Idaho know as Hagerman.
...eating junk food and laughing my butt off
with some of the most wonderful women I have ever known.
...getting a wonderful, but too short, massage.
...getting my creative juices flowing.
...laughing so much it hurts.
Then after 48 hours of the best time ever with my friends,
I will be...
...wishing it could last just one more day.
...forcing myself to get back to the real world.
...looking forward to next time, and wishing it weren't so far away.
I LOVE GOING TO RETREATS...
IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Card swapping again...



This is not the best picture of it, but it will have to do ... my scanner refuses to work these days. It is for a Get Well swap and the image is from a free coloring page I got online. My friend Bob came up with the great idea to use free coloring pages as digi stamps and it works great! She made a card with the same image, she has it on her site here. Now I just need to get my second set of swap cards done. I have to color the images and mount them on my cards (all my background stuff is on and ready), then I need to set a bunch of eyelets (challenge tied to the swap). I will get it uploaded asap for all to see.

Here it is...it was a pain and the color looks like crap, but in real life it is quite nice. She was another freebie image I found online, wish I could remember where. Her tiny details nearly did me in and the eyelets didn't like me very much, but in the end she was worth it. Hopefully the gals in the swap will like both of these, I've had fun making them.


As for my household, we are both still unemployed but hanging in there. I'm thrilled but dreading the end of school, only 8 more days of semi peace left. The only good part is that the older kids can help with baby dd all summer.

Best get to my other set of cards......Just one more image to color and glue on the card.....I can do this.....if my hands will hold out just a little longer. *Sigh* Gotta love carpal tunnel syndrome!
