TGIF
Are you as happy as I am that it's Friday?!?! I can't wait for the weekend to "officially" begin. I woke up this morning to a beautiful sound. What sound might that be? My septic line from my bathroom being "snaked". Yes, that's a beautiful sound. Why? Because it means I can stop shoveling poop and toilet paper from my backyard now! I think it was pricier than the last time, but it's fixed. I think I'm going to have to have a new pipe pushed through sooner rather than later. He's happy to keep snaking - maybe because he charges me $125 a pop. But, we both agree that it would be better to do it before I finish my back porch - just in case he has to take out a portion of the back porch to put in the new pipe. I hope it doesn't get to that point. That would SUCK.

However, he did bring up the alley. If you remember, I've been CONSTANTLY complaining about my dirt alley. Apparently he got a quote to get it paved - $2000. Not bad if the 10 or so houses that use it all chip in! I'd probably even get my little driveway paved. I'd like to see it happen. I also explained what I learned about the property lines when I got it surveyed. So, we'll see what happens next. He complains about the mud. He's the one that has a driveway that leads out onto Main Street!!!

Then I ran to Millville and spent the gift card that's been burning a hole in my pocket at Michael's. Without really trying, I was within 8 cents of the limit - yippie - free stuff! I got felt flowers, acrylic paint, a wooden frame for crafting, some foam brushes, some ribbon (because I'm close to running out of ribbon), Modge Podge, a couple of cardboard boxes to decorate, and that might be it.

So, because I'm mad at my client - so mad that I was almost in tears last night. So, I've been ignoring work and making cards. Claire inspired me to use my paisley stamp and my white gel pen. I've also been trying to make some Bold Bright cards. Apparently I'm in a western kick, as you'll see when you look at my pictures. Here's a little sales pitch - on two of the three cards, I used the stamp set and the jumbo wheel to make the backgrounds. If you changed your mind and wanted to get the "bundle" and half priced item after seeing my cool cards, call me before the end of the month!!! Okay, enough business for now. Check out my designs!!! And, yes, one of them has non-SU product. I was inspired by the new PaperCrafts magazine - they talk about incorporating felt.
