most of the time... :)
I've had this sound processor for almost an week now. and its jumped a head a few steps when it was turned on, its just barley at a sound level below the one
I've had for over an year. it only has one program (pure noise) with three
volume settings so, if i get it to the top level before i go back to
Portland again the ears would be about level noise wise...
so, i never had the not high definition sound. which is good. but, still a little
un-nerving when you've finally managed to
ignore some noise. (what did she really say that?) yeah, there are noises you tune out. and I have even managed to do that... heating systems inside building walls, the echo noise you first when its first turned on, wind up the micro phone noises... so those parts are starting over again. but the funny thing is they
don't seem to irritate me as much as they did learning to ignore them with the first one.
crumpling paper noises, my paper trimmer. all of these are not good to listen too. (
haven't made a card since I've been home) :)
I've decided to get an ipod. will probably have to make time to stop by radio shack and look for some kind of a y splice thing so that i can use the one ear clip cord i have and be able to plug both ears into it.
and i need an adaptor of somekind for the ears cord to plug into my cell phone. got a new one last month and this one has an micro-phone jack...
I know that eventually this is supposed to make things sound better. the good part is that it seems to be progressing much faster then the first one did.
On the home front
All the electrical and lights are now in the laundry, bath and porch celing. :) next comes the plumbing. J has spring break this week and so this was not a good week to have a brand new ear... lol this child has no concept of quiet... and his cell phone rings off the hook.
there was an random conversation recently in the PIF chat box chicks thread about embossing on velvet with an cuttlebug... and that stuck in the back of my mind as an curiosity type thing... so this is an scrap of velvet brown paper that was run through the d'vine swirls cuttlebug folder a couple of days ago. Its still holding the shape.
This is an older PSX image that came to me via the PIF threads from Laurlynn. (Thanks Laurie) the brown velvet and flannel check pp's are from my scrap bin and unknown. the cardbase and sentiment cs is Sahara sand. There is a bit of pink liquid pearls in the hearts of the main image and the sentiments from Impression Obsession. the ovals are Nestibilite die cuts. this one is 5X7 in real life.
This Penny black "peeking Bunny" is stamped with India Ink black on gp110 and colored with prisma pencils, the sentiments from the SU set Fancy Flexible Phrases. the textured cardstocks are all bazzill and this ones 4 1/2 X 6" in real life.
another PIF image this ones from Leibetty (Thanks Leigh Anne) its anElyzbell's UK sized Easter chicks colored with prisma pencils there is a bit of yellow stickles glitter glue on the wide band of the egg. the sentiments from Stampa Rosa (cut in half) the yellow texture is from Jestcharming and i suspect its unrolled (that stuff you used to use when you made bows on wreaths) however it was packaged for scrapbookers and labeled as yellow crinkle paper... (if i had an smiley rolling its eyes you'd see it about now) this ones a-2 in real life.
Another curious bunny card, this ones about 5 X 6 1/2 in real life. the stripe pp is from chatterbox. the textured yellow cs is Bazzill and the cardbase is PTI. the ribbons from Making Memories. Little bit of stickles on the scallops of the oval. 
$31.00 plus change... so not as good as last year, they only had maybe 1/3 of the tables with items for sale on them... but not too shabby either. did pick up a couple more lockharts Ive been wanting that always seem to be out of stock and one of those new EK success punches. these i had been curious about since i first seen them in M's what you cant see when its still in the package is there is an slider lever on the bottom of the punch so if you slide it the punch "pops" up so that you have a lever to push to make it punch. its really a clever design. (space saving.) thought i shot a photo of it but not seeing it in the camera...
