This has been a crazy busy week now that I’m feeling back to
my non-normal self!!! Nothing much is normal around here but it’s our normal.
Yesterday was another great day so we headed out to Rondeau Park
for another bike ride – 33.5 km (20 miles)! This morning was a little housework
and a lot of nothing and then groceries and errands this afternoon. Some of our
favorite vegetarian foods are disappearing off the grocery store shelves so we
are not too happy about that. The trouble is around here is that the grocery
stores have veggie food in several different locations, none of it marked as
such, so it’s hunt and hopefully find – and they can’t figure out why it doesn’t
sell as well as they thought it would. I told the manager of the meat dept that
contrary what the brilliant university graduates who design the layout of the
stores think, vegetarians do not roam thru the meat section so sticking a few
packages of vegetarian food in with the meat is not a good idea. He agreed but
nothing changed. Okay, that’s my vent for today.
The birds were done exactly the same was as I posted in
yesterday’s posting. All dies are Spellbinders once again. I love these new
Spellbinder’s Majestic elements dies. The background is some wedding paper with
very bright white and beige roses on it. Nice but overpowering on a small card
so I placed a piece of off-white velum over the top and it toned it right down.
I used the same blue ribbon but didn’t die any bows this time, its just there
as a strip across the bottom. The sentiment was computer generated and then die
cut. The tiny white and blue hearts are brads and they are holding the velum in
place at the bottom. I hid the glue for the top under the fancy white square.
She liked this one too – again, a whew!
Cheers

It is definitely more manly than the other one without the bow and the filigree label, well done!
