I'm just thinking out loud.

I decided a long time ago that I don't compete with the talent of others. I do what I do best. That was my position when trying to decide whether or not to begin this blog because there are so many others there.

I've been doing some brain storming with my husband. I have a couple of ideas for my business ambitions. I am definitely going to do the DVD Color Pencil coloring class. Right now, the glitch in my plan involves the booklet that I include with my Michaels class. If I provided a booklet with the DVD, I don't know the legalities of including images so that we'd be coloring the same thing ( like I do in class). Actually, I'm pretty sure that would not be legal, or desired. So maybe I'll include some actual stamps? Maybe my designs? That's going to take a little longer. What if I got a stamp company to sponsor me? Maybe for this century, I'll just try to do the video for the blog.... Too much to think about... brain hurts...


Today has been one of those not only did every thing go wrong days, but nothing went according to plan, and believe me I had a plan. :) I'm going to bed early. I really think I have some hormonal issues going on. I wonder if the menopause thing is getting closer.... ( just in time for my hysterectomy, what's up with that??? )

I do have one of my new favorite cards to show tomorrow or the next day. I'm hoping the mailman will deliver the cards so that I can show you. I've been playing with my Cricut too! Teenage boy cards are the hardest for me, but hopefully I've pulled it off. I need to get a handle on it, because all my babies(nieces and nephews) are now teens or preteens. Time flies!

Purple, Purple Everywhere!

I made a change to my profile because Tulip hunting season is over. This is the time of year I love it here because even riding down the road is a pleasurable event.

They are everywhere. I am going to take my camera with me when I go out today and so that I can get a few more pictures.


I don't know if you noticed, but I worked on my banner over the weekend and made a few changes to it. I just tweeked what I already had up there. Actually, I had to completely start over because of the way I saved it the first time. The idea was the same. I added more pictures too. I think I'm satisfied with it now. I love how the crown turned out. The crown is just one of the images I had drawn for my stamp line.
By the way, in case you're interested, Blessings Rubber Stamps is just on the back burner, not totally forgotten. (smile) I've temporarily put it on hold because my real life jumped in and monopolized my time over the past few months.
