All life is an experiment. -Emerson

Don't be afraid peeps, I'm feeling like myself!
Even though Old Man Winter appeared yesterday with a vengence!
If I'd have wanted to go out the door last night, I'd have had to tie a rope around my waist to get back to the house!
The stove was out this morning when I got up! OMG!
And the weather was less than desirable, and is gonna be like that all week!
Here's a pic of the stove chugging along to catch up with the heat!

There's NO smoke coming out when it quits!

All is well now!

I got it going, just like Laura Ingells would have! ha!

After playing mindless games, reading & watching movies yesterday; I settled down to make a card for the girl in our Stamp Club that lost her mom.

I went over here to read up, and try out a sky!

First, let me tell you that I DON'T have those inks ( I KNOW), nor the little styluses!

I tried this one:

Then I did this:

After deciding I was 'heavy handed'; Sheree's exact words;

and that I really hated disliked them both, I pulled a Michele Zindorf, and did the Direct to Paper, which resulted in this:

and finally this..................

Which made it on to the card!

Oh, crafting is sooooo hard!

I need to practice!

Don't worry, I will!

And the rejected ones WILL end up on cards!

I'm going to make the card it's own post, so I can enter it in Craft a Scene!

I gotta start somewhere!

And I want Sheree & Myrna to see I can play along! hahahaha!

The O/S left Friday for Funchal, Portugal!

To get on this ship, which was doing this!

Talk to ya later!

Ta ta for now!
