Timeless Talk & Week One Done!

Whew! It was a long first week of school with students. Friday was especially difficult because none of us wanted to be there! The kids were tired and squirrely and bounced off the walls whenever they had a chance and I was EXHAUSTED to say the least. But, this was my last first full week of school with students and last Open House. Two more “lasts” checked off my list.

I got NO stamping done this past week in my own stamp room. A bummer for me, because it is something I really like to do. I did get my August Paper Pumpkin done Sunday and I was able to attend a friend’s stamp club this past Friday evening. If this coming work week is anything like last week, I will have to resort to posting photos of the cards we made there. The card that I am posting is one I made awhile ago, but it is still current. The stamp set is called Timeless Talk and I love, love, love it!

Here it is…

It has been another busy day today. I’ve managed to get nothing but a lot of running around town done. And I had such big plans. I played personal chauffeur for my 28-year-old daughter today. She hasn’t had a car since returning from her six month trip to India in May or a cell phone for that matter, so today I spent running her around town getting set up with cell phone service and looking at cars. She purchased a scooter when she got back to town, but scooters are only good in “nice” weather. She’s finally finding work and won’t be able to borrow my car much anymore. I go back to work on Monday. So she finally did settle on a little Subaru that should keep her in wheels for a while until she finds better employment and find something better.

Today’s card is for a cousin of mine that will be celebrating fifty years of wedded bliss this coming September. September 6th to be exact! I was the flower girl in his wedding when I was 6 years old. Now you know how old I am. I am not ashamed. My father used to say of birthdays, “Keep’em coming!” I don’t like the alternative!
