The gingham dog went "bow-wow-wow!"
And the calico cat replied "mee-ow!"
The air was littered an hour or so,
with bits of gingham and calico"

a terrific Tuesday!

What a great day! A little work in the morning and friends/lunch/games all afternoon! We met at Sandy's house today. S, J, G, P, BB and I had an amazing lunch then several hours of competitive dominos! Yes, dominos can be competitive and involve lots of strategy (especially when you're playing with P!)


(These are the days that I will recall in Jan. and Feb. when getting up and out of the house early is cold and and wet and sloshy, and being in school is so difficult.)


On another note, here is a card I made for my friend Lyn's birthday. She loves the beach more than any other place. Lyn, this one's for you!





(I love the balance of the three images. The flip flops are a diecut from a scrapbook store. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the letters. The asterisk image is from an old Stampin' Up! stamp set in my collection. It says Happy Birthday inside.)

Make it a great day!

wind in my hair!

I went sailing yesterday with Stan and Wayne. It was glorious! The weather was spectacular...we had enough wind to keep us moving, sometimes briskly. It was lovely!

Here is a card I made last week. It's simple, quick and elegant. I've been experimenting with layers of inks...versamark, ink matching the cardstock, darker inks...
