Sunday is Relax Day



Been a busy week. I've been working on designs. This is such fun. I have a sort of grungy kit ready to go and am working on a holiday kit. As you have no doubt deduced, I'm not into cutesy. I can't for the life of me design a cute butterfly, or flower. But I love nature. The darkest paper in the new kit came from a photo I took about a year ago at about midnight of a ring around the moon.



It worked great with a couple of photos of my son.

Here's the kit. Ta Da! I'm tentatively calling it Grungy Tib.


It will soon be uploaded to 4Shared.com. Check back later.

Had lots of rain her on the SC coast. Much needed. We're in the midst of a drought and because of so little rain inland, our rivers are very low. The tide comes up the rivers far enough that water intakes get salt water, so the water company is pumping from ground wells. Yuck. But, there are always a few clouds in everybody's paradise. I'm just feeling smug that it has snowed (just a bit) in northern Michigan and we're still wearing shorts. Although it is beginning to cool down. No short pants tomorrow on the golf course.

I'm teaching writing classes through the Lifelong Learning Program of Coastal Carolina University. I have many talented people in the classes. They inspire me. I've started a new novel, very different from the first one. Not a sequel. It's fantasy set in another world. World building is such fun. It's tentatively called FIRESONG. I based the main character on one I used in the very first novel I completed. The manuscript never made it out the door. So far it's coming along. I've discovered storyboarding for organizing. What a revelation. Much easier to keep timeline and characters consistent.

Happy days to all who happen on my site.

It's the Weekend!

We were out of town with a couples' golf group we run. We went to Rock Hill, SC, and had a wonderful time, even if my game was FLOG (golf backwards). I flogged myself into three awful rounds, but hubby and I had a great time. Lots of fun people.

I'm almost done knitting my first grandbaby thing. For my own grandbaby. It's exciting.

I finished my first kit. If anybody out there wants to download it it's at:

I know, I didn't upload it as a zip file. I'm just learning how to do this. Enjoy and use it for whatever you want except passing it off as your own. That's not fair.

And check out Scrapbook Flair. The site is easy to use and a great community.
