Catching Up

I was looking through my craft photos and realized that I had not posted this card yet.  I made this for my brother’s birthday.   I can’t believe I forgot to post it because I like the way it turned out.

 

 

I tried to keep it relatively CAS and even used some of my washi tape.   The paint was left over outdoor paint.  I poured some in a Dixie cup, diluted it with water, and flicked it onto the paper. 

 

I have lots of other stuff going on.  One of the most exciting things is that I have a new job which I will start next Monday.   Woo hoo!  I’m very excited to get started.   

 

I have a few pictures of my daughter fencing that I thought I would share.  These were all taken by my hubby’s iPhone over the last few weeks.   I didn’t do any photo editing.

Liz & her pirate socks.  She is known for her crazy socks (except in tournaments).

 

Liz’s game face.

Tournament in Chicago on Sunday.  Check out that lunge. You go girl!

 

I recently started taking an adult fencing class so that I can better understand the sport.  I really enjoy the class.  The other students are really fun.  I’m not very good but I have a blast.  I have to admit it is probably the only 90 minutes of the week where I am not thinking of my “To do” lists.   I have to focus solely on what is going on when fencing or I walk away with even more bruises.

 

Well that’s all for me today!  Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!
