Holy Moly, thought I'd never get here!
Ray's done the log haul, so there was pizza & beer tonight up at the shop...of course I went.....I gotta eat!
It's nice to catch up with people you might only see a couple times a year!
I was up at 5:50 this morning...I KNOW!
Got my coffee and was heading for the pump house.
Didn't get farther than the step, when I realize Shadow's barking like somepossessed rabid dog; I can hear snorting & grunting, it's pretty dark out; and I'm thinking OMG, this is just like a horror movie, you can't see anything, and don't know where it's coming from!
A few minutes later, as I'm freezing my butt off (-26C this morning kids, with a wind) on the step in my hoodie & housecoat, I hear the unmistakable tink of something going over the fence.
Oh great, now for sure I don't know if it's coming or going!
Then out of the dark, here comes Shadow wagging her tail, so whatever it was, she thinks she's chased it out of the yard.....and out to the pump house I go.
See the tracks?
BIG MOOSE!
IN THE YARD, that's the front end of the quad on the left.
Mr. Luck didn't get it put away in the shed last fall.
This is what I did for fun last night.
I love going to these classes!
We had a guy in the class, and in the little patch of grass on the left!?
He put in a little wooden cross, and told us, "the trapper died."
This painting is a particular type, as it fades off (sort of) to the side, and doesn't go all the way to the edges of the frame, but for the life of me, I can't remember what!
Anyhoo, she'll do another 2 classes next month, and by then I'll be done stamp club, so maybe I can do both!
And remember I wanted to show you what I was doing with Kalens' BD card?!
Here's the mess....and I'm still cleaning ink out from under my nails!
You take a large stamp, stamp with versamark, and emboss it with clear EP.
Then you brayer, or sponge, or however you wanna get your ink on there, cover the whole thing!
The pieces to the right and left of the stamped pieces are what the original paper looked like!
I'm tellin ya, I had ink.all.over!
This is the finished product.
It's a twisted easel card.
Remember, he likes to display his cards on his desk and brag, so I'm only helping him along by making ones that stand on their own!
I know, I've got the blue and green going on again!
Started with navy, but his favorite color is green, and there's green in the words...........
And just so ya know....he finished his course today in Naval Communications!
I think now he'll be an Able Seaman, instead of Ordinary Seaman.
Not that he ever was 'ordinary'!
We got him a gift certificate for the Old Spaghetti Factory, as Stephanie (girlfriend from Germany) is visiting him right now.
They are sending the gift certificate directly to him, so I printed off a Menu to put in with his card.
I'm thinking of trying to see if I can get some of those side images off the net to color for a card...wouldn't that be cool!? Maybe make them bigger on a printer......? Just sayin!
Everything's good in my little world, other than blowing some snow off the paths this weekend, think I'll be crafting.
Have a great weekend! Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!

OK, laughing my ass off picturing you standing there in the cold grey morning in a hoodie and housecoat thinking that a monster was coming to eat you! OMG I was laughing hard. You kill me. And are you sure it was a moose??? MMMMMWHHHHHAAAA LOL Good ole' Shadow. Then I about fell out of my chair over that painting! It's beautiful. You have talent oozing out everywhere don't you???? And the card, even though I didn't fully understand what you were saying about the technique turned out to be a beauty. I also ended up smirking because I could also picture you with ink all over your nose and cheeks too after you were done. Then I put that image with you in the hoodie and housecoat outside again and laughed all over again. Thanks for the entertainment. Just love coming here. . . Best, Curt
Big honkin' tracks from a big honkin' moose ... never a dull moment around your place! Fabulous card for Kalen and congrats to him on his success in moving up the ranks.
