Good Monday morning! I hope you weekend was good and you celebrated the dad’s in your life with good food, good drink and plenty of family. I know we did! Mallory organized a great meal for all of us (Kate, Will and my mom included) . . . I grilled kabobs while she made the sides and a GF mixed berry cobbler!
On the Mallory front, we are still waiting for test results from last Friday. Her cough isn’t any better after being on the meds the specialist prescribed, so we are prepared for what might be next if last weeks tests come back negative. After long talks yesterday, she has decided to defer TFA for one year and continue with her masters here at home. It’s more important that she feel well . . . we can’t send her off and not know what is going on.
I kept myself busy with CHA projects over the weekend, but was able to sneak in one more Faux Batik project (Faux Bleach/Batik Technique). I know . . . I know! I’ve done a number of these recently, but they are just so damn much fun to make. Where else to you get the thrill of watching the embossing powder melt together and the joy of ironing it all off . . . there is something about seeing that image appear on the printer paper as the embossing melts. (It’s like watching the powder melt, only in reverse.)
This is another stamp that I picked up while browsing The Queen’s Ink, Damask by Judikins. The paper (which I got at the same time) is Natures Garden Collection from Prima. Sponging the inks over the image to match the paper was way too much fun!
The sentiment, so grateful, is from a very old SU Hostess set that I dug out of my storage cabinet. I wanted a small sentiment for a small tag on the front of the card, leaving the inside blank for a handwritten note of thanks.
I’m off now to fight Mallory for my daily puzzles . . . she’s done them every day before I could get to the paper!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fabulous day!
