(this one’s for Sean as he is a ‘good egg’)
I was telling you about art cards in my previous post. At 2 pm today I gathered my materials and got to work. It took me a while just to get the cards the right size! I used pretty heavy duty ‘homemade’ paper with gold flecks in it. I also utilized one of my old picture books and cut neat ‘things’ from it. I’ve made 6 already! The first five had the same theme and I will reveal them to you after I share them with my pals. #6 is an old photo of my mom as the central theme. I’m still working on it. I’ll probably give it to her. My creativity faded after a few hours, but I am excited to make more!
On an interesting note, I had posted names of people from my past and actually heard from a woman who I use to babysit in the 70s. She didn’t remember me. Actually her sister must have googled her own name and my post came up. Brian said what did I expect, the last time they saw me they were like 7 and 4. ; )
So sorry to hear about Anna Nicole Smith. I’m curious to see what happened and hope it wasn’t drug related. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando almost 2 yrs ago and just can’t think of anyone going there to do themselves in. I feel bad for the little 5 month of girl she left behind.

I’m so looking forward to seeing the cards you’ve been making!! How fascinating that you heard from that woman you used to babysit…she must have gotten a kick out of finding out who you were:-) Yup, it was sad to hear about Anna Nicole Smith…but she’s finally found peace now. Her life was so full of stress, depression and heartbreak. After the death of her son, somewhat it doesn’t surprise me that she’s died so soon after. Wonder if we’ll ever know all the details.
That’s a funny story about the acquaintance that you used to babysit. I often wonder about the strangest people – the blonde girl on the bus who told the other kids to stop picking on me, the boy I played frisbee with one summer …. impossible to ever track them down, but I think about them.
Hi,
I finally got a chance to check in on your blog. This is very nice.
I too felt so bad when Anna Nicole Smiths son died, I of course could understand her pain, having been in her shoes. Now she dies too, leaving behind that baby, poor little thing, no brother no mother. At least she has 2 men who want to be her father, so it seems like she will have someone to love her and raise her.
