A busy Saturday........

How is everyone's weekend going? I hope that it is going exactly as you planned it! No surprises (unless they are good suprises) this weekend!!

I have been muddling about....a little of this, and a little of that.....pretty much the typical day at the Franklin Homestead!!!

I did get to talk to a good friend...well, not only is she a friend, she is my pretend big sister....I never had one of those...and so Kathy has been doing her best to be the big sister I never had....up to and including calling and teasing me.....well actually, she got Max too, but......you know what she did? Huh, huh? Well, she called to tell me that she was eating out...at the KOFA....the KOFA!!! Now while that probably won't mean a thing to any of you out there in Blogland....the four of us, as in Kathy and Wayne, me and Max.....the FOUR of us.....used to go there and eat out while we were all in AZ. And she called to let us know that the TWO of them were there.....and then she HAD TO HANG UP.......her dinner had arrived....FISH AND CHIPS!!!!....was that mean or what? And then? She hung up!!!! She hung up and ate her Fish and Chips.....without me.....and now? I want Fish and Chips. Doesn't matter that Max cooked and we had take-out pizza for dinner...(my favorite kind even)....no, I want FISH AND CHIPS!! And I don't want just ANY Fish and Chips...it has to be Kofa's Fish and Chips and their Iced Tea......with Kathy and Wayne....somehow the food always tasted better when there were four of us.....

So, after I recovered from that, (okay, Max told me that whining was not becoming..), I decided that I needed to accomplish something this weekend. So, out came the cardmaking stuff, and I did three cards to list on the site and on etsy. I have been wanting to get it done, but manage to find other stuff to occupy my time! Now, I have three cards listed on etsy, and tomorrow I will pop them on the site. And since I will still have the cardmaking stuff over here (and over there, and over there...........), I might as well do some more! Here are the ones I did.....Elivis, who was actually our Christmas Card this year....I just left the inside blank on this card.....

Then I did a fun one...................

The inside says: "I took a close look at my life...perhaps you heard my scream?"

And then this one, which is from a copy of one of my Mom's vintage postcards. I took two of the cards, cut out the inside frame and the ship in one of them, then layered them on top of the first one, with some of the pop dots....it made a shadowbox effect. Then I stamped "dream" on the front. The envelope also has "dream" stamped on it. I absolutely love playing with those cards.....they are so beautiful.

I should sleep good tonight.....playing with papers really is relaxing! So, speaking of sleeping? I think I will say "goodnight" and head to bed! Talk to you all soon! OH! And I should probably tell you all that once Kathy and Wayne finished their dinner and went home, she did call me back and we spent an hour on the phone catching up.....that's what sisters do, right? LOL!
