Another Sketch

This would have been the first time that I had ever actually completed all of the sketches but I got lazy and crazy busy so I only finished about 1/2. Oh Well, better luck this month. I have also been scraplifting lately. I buy so many magazines but I can't continue to justify the expense of them if I don't use them. So if I buy it I have to make something from it. That's my new motto. I am going to be a busy girl.

Here is the page to go with the sketch

Here is a scraplift from a Bo-Bunny Mamarazzi ad

And a couple of layouts that I had done and was waiting to put pics on

Did this for a challenge but never submitted it. Like the lo and will probably put pics of the girl on it.

I have been dreaming a lot lately. Usually I go to sleep and wake up with only a vague shadow of my dreams remaining to haunt me. Sort of like an impression or a hint. But lately, my dreams have been vivid and remembered. They stay with me throughout the day but not in a bad-scary way, more in an i'm thinking this over type way. Very odd for me.

I truly, truly miss teaching. For the longest while I have been going back and forth about giving it up. Even as I made plans for classes and shows to visit, I was not sure if I was really going to do it. I am still not sure. I don't know why I am on the fence. I have been praying for direction and for guidance. If this is really not what I am to do, I don't want to do it but if it is, I want to get on with it already. I am not a patient, wait till the moment is right type person. When I make my mind up to do something, I do it. So this on the fence thing is new for me and I have to tell you, I don't like it one bit lol.

On a more positive note (what am I, a philospher lately or what?). You have to go to the Hero Arts Blog. Seriously, Hello. Everything that they post lately seems to be a must do folks. How cute is the toaster card. I'm making that this weekend. What are they doing to me giving me so many doable projects in one day. AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. My kids won't see me for a week!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that your Tuesday is fabtastic!

Might I add that today is a beautiful, beautiful day and it really should not be rolling up on Wednesday again so soon (I have a full day of classes, 8am - 920pm with too short breaks between my classes). I wonder if there is someone that I can talk to about that hmmmm?

Can U Say Bar Fight?

Finally got to see my sister and we had date night with her and her husband, my bil and his girlfriend. We had a great time!!!!! First we had dinner at Fogo de Chao. Best restaraunt I have ever eaten at. Well worth the big bucks we dropped that night. The service was incredible, the food was incredible, the drinks were incredible, in a word, Incredible.

(yes the waiters dressed like that)

Than we went to

(you have to ask me about the beer joke, it was too, too funny)

to see

(Yeah folks, he looked just like that, except drunker lol. To his credit, he was funny as hell!)

and this is where it got interesting. Mike was drunk/high off his a$$ and about 1/2 way thru his show, he started repeating jokes for like the 6th time. The crowd was pissed!!!!!!! Than Mike got pissed. Than the B word started flying. And than I was ready for the bar fight. Haven't seen one of those in about 20 years. Not a good one at least. You know what i'm talkin bout. A real down & dirty, chairs flyin, shoes & earrings coming off, hold my purse girl bar fight. But it turned out to be a classy joint and Mike sobered up enough to end his routine before it got past the name calling and we came home.

Seriously, A great night
