    Julz - the swelling in my arm is the same but you'd really have to look twice to notice it.  Doesn't hurt. Thanks for asking.  I think it's going to be part of me for a while.

    Spar - making my own greeting cards gives me a lot of pleasure.  I have enough paper, stamps, die cuts, ribbon to last for a long time. I'm more crafty than I am artsy.

    julz, I called it the paper Nautilus because it is made from paper pulp....i am guessing in this case that the paper pulp is smushed into a mold and left to dry.  I have made paper before, but only flat paper made the traditional way.  One artist friend of mine has made small people shapes formed out of paper pulp and they were solid shapes, not hollow.

    more shells....abalone......

    lots of shells.... 

     

    Now for some edible ones....

    Belgian chocolate shells.....

    White chocolate shells--see the wrapped up one? 


    <>

    here are shell utensils to eat with.....

    Janny, that is cool about your ancestor, Charles Frederick Kimball.  Do you know if there is artwork of his in the Philadelphia Art Museum?  I spent a lot of time in high school in that museum and his name sounds familiar.

    wow, biker, i bet your cat sketches and landscapes are good, if you ever want to share please post or pm me I would love to see your work.  How neat having family that has his work in a museum!  I am craving candy now.  Thanks a lot, Celia.  It looks so good.

    Saint, thank goodness your arm doesn't hurt.  Do you have software that makes the cards and then you decorate them?  Can you get the stuff at hobby lobby.  I am always looking for new crafts to do.

    Hey julz of the beach, you always brighten up the place

    From A to Z everyone have a wonderful peaceful night

    Foots, I pm'd you.  Have been up since 4:30Am and already having a crappy day and expect it to get a lot worse.

    Praying for all people of gulf coast.  Why or why did they not get out. Thank God the people stranded in the ship rode out the storm in safety.

    Foots, I will find you some cabana boys and some lemonaid.

    goodmorning julz, we are suppose to have 100 percent chance of rain but I doubt we have the winds, it will die down before it gets this far in.

    Julz, hope you get ahold of your niece, has anyone heard from her in your family?  Let us know how it goes.  I pm'd you.  I will have a busy weekend and some bad stuff I have to do. So won't be able to be on much this weekend.

    Hi girls, I'm back.  Lots of posting went on while I was gone.  Tried to check in when I could but time got away with me.  Flew home on 9/11 - wasn't looking forward to that at all.  Hope everyone is doing well and saying extra prayers for our sisters in Ikeland....stay safe.

    Someone will have to send me Cliff notes to fill me in on what happend while I was gone.  Will try to catch up later.

    I get my craft supplies for greeting cards from Michael's.  They have card making kits too which are great if you don't want to spend a lot of time picking out coordinating papers, embellishments, etc.  I took a class at Michael's and get card making magazines which give me ideas.

     Foots, hope this is a better week. You might be able to get financial help for the wraps from the ACS.

    Haven't heard anything about my Niece! I called her sister & they haven't heard anything yet!

    Hey Margo our Maui Beach Babe. It sounds like You & Mr. Margo Beach Dude had fun. I'm glad you made it home on 9-11 with only 'Stiff White Knuckles' & some 'Tense Neck Muscles'. Rest yourself up from the time change. So you can get back into the Beach Swing of things!

    Heres a new pair a flips for you, cause you probably wore the other ones out at the Maui Beach!

    He's a head turner alright, at least I think so.  Could be the wind bowled him over last night.

     Julz, love the cake topper and the songs.  Thank you.
