Beginning.

I am beginning serious work on my Christmas cards. Tedious and time consuming. Why do I choose to make this project harder than it needs to be? Probably just because I enjoy the process and get caught up in the moment and one idea leads to another. Pictures will follow as I progress.  For now...

Go, Create Something!

Happy Birthday, Curley!

My good friend, Curley has a birthday today. I won't tell you how she is, but she repeating 39 again! Of course, I had to make her a card and since she already has opened it earlier when we went out for lunch (Mexican food, yay!) and then went to our knit and crochet group at the local senior center, I can reveal it now. I used two sets of Thinlet dies from Tim Holtz for the background and butterflies. The background and the orange on the butterflies is from some "watercolor" cardstock from Walmart. The black on the butterflies is a metallic bronze heavy cardstock. I mounted it on a black cardstock then attached the whole thing to a white card base. Happy Birthday, Curley. I hope your day was wonderful. Blessed to call you my friend!!  Happy 39...again!  (( Hugs)) Until next time, Go! Create Something! JF

Beneath It All

Note:   This is sort of a guy type post.   I seriously hope none of you gals who read my blog are offended.   If talking about men’s underwear offends you, close out now! Beneath all that we men wear, unless you are a guy who favors going “commando” (no underwear), there is the ongoing dilemma of “briefs or boxers.” Shopping for said undergarments are an ordeal. When I was growing up, there were only two choices.   Either we wore “tightie whities” from J. C. Penney’s; you know the ones that had blue and gold dashes around the waistband.   Or you could choose to wear broadcloth boxers.   These were brightly colored plaids, solids, or the ever popular paisley prints.   They had an extra panel sewn into the seat to accommodate those whose butts were larger.   Mine wasn’t!   So, those panels just got wadded up, and you can just guess where that wad of fabric ended up!   I would always opt for the “tightie whities.” As an adult, I a...
