Speaking of envelopes…I have to admit it – I didn’t watch the Academy Awards this year…at all. I usually don’t tune in until the very end of the show most years anyway, but this year I TOTALLY blew it off. It is rare that I have ever even seen half the movies. This time, I had actually gone to the theater for two – Toy Story 3 and Inception (both of which I loved, for very different reasons) and Megan got The Social Network from Netflix, so I watched it before she sent it back…I liked it okay. Time is in too high demand to spend it (and the exorbitant price of a ticket) watching a movie that I will very likely be disappointed in. I was anxious for Toy Story 3 and resistant to Inception (I don’t always like DiCaprio) but forced myself to go on a date – I am sure that it was at the bargain matinee ticket price – and I was pleasantly surprised at how it kept me guessing.

It wasn’t hard rain, with thunder and lightening…the kind that makes you worry that you, your house or hill will wash away.

I have the second selections of cards that I made from the My Mind’s Eye, Stella and Rose, Mabel collection 6″X6″ pad of double-sided papers and yes, I still have about half the pad left to work with. Card Six – This was going back to the idea of using every bit of paper. It is amazing how many cards you can get from a 6″X6″ pad of paper, especially when it’s double-sided! Card Seven – I copied the flower (sort of) in the background paper to make my own element. Card Eight – I love using baker’s twine. I need more colors! Not really…I don’t need any more stuff. I do like to make some cards WITHOUT sentiments, but print (or stamp) random sentiments for adding when needed. Besides, sometimes you need a cute blank card. Card Nine – I punched a circle and traced it on the ledger paper. Then I punched
