So, on Tuesday afternoon I spread around some things that had arrived in the mail and were in a pile so they could be shot and then as soon as that happened I had the idea to stick that nest to the glass mat and stamp some off, the others were done on regular cheap white card with various brown inks ( all too dark) and then I finally grabbed the acorn Versafine Clair and liked it best so, stamped one off on some watercolor paper and started playing. The pearls are from Amazon. the first two I bought around Christmas had smaller sizes in the containers. and I was so excited to see they came in just black ( I like these to add to critter eyeballs on things) and the blue was just because I liked the color a lot. but, these have larger pearls in the containers. I will still use them but, it was just a tad disappointing. I see now looking at them the other pearls had more than double the amount of pearls in the container. So, there ya go. if you are like me and do not read sizes... double the pearls means smaller ones. Sometimes I just have to laugh at my self.

Just a single layer, have not looked at it this morning to decide how much more it will need. I think I want to have some blues peeking through where the light should come through the twigs. ( not sure yet)

Some other things that arrived in the mail the last week or so. (eBay) a lot of the ones down the right and bottom were part of a huge lot that I bought just to get the Coronado Island Stamping horses and then found the other horses being sold by it self from a seller that had flat shipping if you bought 3 so tossed in the Emerson fishing chick and the Art impression sentiment to the other CIS horse cart. the tweety bird and fishing guy were single auctions. and I have been a shopping fool. I am seriously considering doing one of those no go shopping things but, when ever I have tried them in the past I end up shopping more so, I am hoping that with more daylight the creating can start balancing out the new things to play with piles. Because, I have not put any of it away its all piling up where I can see it to remember to play with it. and teetering piles annoy me after a while. Its probably just the missing Grace thing. Izzy seems to be doing OK with being an only dog. And in the good news dept. my Dr's office called one Friday (two Fridays ago) and said hey, we got some vaccine thawed that needs to go in an Arm in the next couple of hours can you make it down here so, I did. what a relief. That's about it from me, thanks for stopping by.
