Copic Marker Paper That Doesn't Bleed Thru...

I had a second and thought I'd share a product that Sally Lynn has endorsed.  Check out her blog.  It's called One Sheet Wonder.  The paper has been developed to use with Copic Markers.  It DOESN'T BLEED THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE!  Think of the possibilities!  Since we spend alot of money on our markers why not use great paper!  It's pretty reasonable, too.  The website is http://www.coturecardstock.com/  . They also have a new paper for blending called Detail Blending Paper.  I've ordered mine.  Let me know what you think of it.

We took Greg back to school last night.  No mono...yeah!  He is doing better and he hasn't had a fever for over 24 hours. Yeah, Yeah!!!!  Playing catch-up today.  Got the Christmas decorations out of storage and got all the trees assembled.  Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving feast at school.  The children are so darn cute with their Pilgrim hats!  I might not be blogging the rest of the week so have a safe and very Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I was suppose to go to FKS for a class with Debbie Schuh.  Well, plans changed pretty quickly at my home.  Mke went down Friday night and picked up Greg from SEMO. He's not been feeling good the last couple days but got really bad Friday.  He was too sick to drive home.  Soooo... Saturday he was worse than Friday so, I spent Sat. afternoon at the Urgent Care Center. Greg was tested for flu, negative. Yeah!  Tested for strep, negative but could still be strep because he's been on antibiotics for 24 hours.  And got a blood test for mono.   We should hear the results tomorrow.  All he's been doing is sleeping and studying. I'm giving him some mother's TLC and doing laundry. Mike brought all of his bedding and towels home at my suggestion.  I'm hoping he can go back Monday to finish out his last 2 days before Thanksgiving break.

Tonight I went to a surprise birthday party for my Great Aunt Gladys.  She turned 85 today!  I hope I have a mind like her as I age.  She is an amazing woman and looked like Doris Day with dark hair when she was young.  She has been (my dad's side) the keeper of the family history.  She was overwhelmed by all the people and said how blessed she is for such a wonderful family.  In truth, I'm the one who has been blessed having someone like Aunt Gladys in my life.  She is an amazing person!

Thank you to everyone who came to card class yesterday.  I hope you had as much fun as I did.  You guys are the best!!!  The adorable Michelle came in and drew a name and the winner of the drawing for the sign was Jo Witney. Congrats!

Looking forward to seeing you there.  You're going to love making these cards!

Weekend didn't go as planned.  I was winterizing the fountain, which is heavy, and the large iron dodad (Don't know what to call it!)  came crashing down, with me as the target.  I twisted around to catch it, which I did, but messed up my back .  Sunday I sat and laid around in a fog from the muscle relaxers!  Doing better today.

Yesterday...  I worked on preparing cards for the card class on Wednesday. 

Today...  I'm working outside.  I need to take apart the outside fountain before it gets too cold!  I'm also going to dig out and prepare the vegetable garden for next year. 

Tomorrow... I have earmarked as a creative day.  I'm going to the studio and try to be creative.  My creative juices have been low lately.  I need a day to get them flowing. 

Cards for the November 18th class.

Learn to make 2 Waterfall Cards and using the same stamp but make 2 entirely different cards.

You will need to bring the basics supplies plus pop-up dots and double-sided foam strips, sold at FKS.

You may also bring your own color pencils or markers.

You will make a bonus Bag and Tag.

And as always, a little surprise!

Cards were displayed at the store Friday.  I forgot to take a picture, but I will remedy that tomorrow afternoon.

Halloween get together at our home was a blast!  It was laid back and relaxing.  The cutest trick or treaters!  Good food and good friends, what more do ya need!
