Man cards. One of life's challenges.

One of these days, I'll do a man card that just looks awesome, has character, creativity, feeling, yada yada yada, but that's not today.  Here's another average one :S

 

Love those papers!  Being sis-in-law to Miss Flis has some advantages!! :P

Where did summer go? :(

16 zillion rainy days and about 3 hot sunny days.... we didn't even GET to the beach this Summer!!!!  Crazy!  Hoping for a sunny Autumn....  Anyway, here's my first skinny black headband.... :)

errr, I guess you can tell that I'm so blinking INDECISIVE.  Photo styles, font styles, not to mention the hairband styles themselves!   I like everything!  Doh.

At the bottom of my garden...

...this was a fun but hard page to do... one of the very few paper scrapbook pages I've ever done!

I did it for a friends scrapbook... she was one of the nurses who looked after this very sick lil girl. 

I followed a fairy theme because she wasn't with it sometimes.... couldn't see me right in front of her eyes and was saying weird stuff.... ugh, still freaks me out.  Thankfully kids recover so quickly and completely.

One of my fave flowers so far....

is a silver / grey / black one :)  Goes with everything!

With pretty Czech Crystals in the middle (made in Europe. go figure).  I've also bought ostrich feathers from Hong Kong (you can't exactly get fake ostrich feathers) and elastics, lace and Swarovski Crystals from USA so far...

And vintage laces and elastics from little local fabric boutiques... "oh we've had that ever since we bought the shop 8 years ago"... luv it! :P

More flowers....

are blooming all the time here!  I've figured that I shouldn't be making bulk amounts of my flower designs yet, because it only takes a random 10 minutes to really improve on it and be excited all over again!  But those '10 minutes' are totally unpredictable...

er....excuuuse me?

I was asked yesterday how old I was.  For the first time ever, I kind of feel too old to be asked like that.  "ah... 30."  I said. 
"haha, nooo.  how old are you really?" 
"No, I am.  Really!"
"no, come on....."
"Serious!  I'm 30.  Both my kids go to SCHOOL!"
"oh.....okay....  I've got a 17-y-o daughter and thought, you know, you look about the same kind of age...."

LOL!  Unbelievable!  Sure I've got some pimples, but you know, I've got some wrinkles too!  And come on!  My dimples join under my chin!!!!

Photo taken on morning of 30th b'day.  So there. I really am.  ;)
