Off to Seattle!

(insert squealing and much dancing here)  

It's been quite some time since I've gone anywhere, and my inner Hoosier is turning to jerky in the summer heat. SOOO I am headed to visit one of my old college roommates and her husband, two of my very dear friends, so fyi...scattered postings are imminent. 

 However, expect some lovely greeny, watery, Seattley shots via Hipstamatic :) 

 Like this one! (taken with Hipstamatic I mean) which I leave with you as a parting greeting from the teacher:

Graduation cards

Many of students are graduating on Wednesday, so I wanted to make them cards.  Conveniently, in my Michael's aisle wanderings the other day, I found a stamp of a Mason jar - oooooooo!!!  

Here's the process of making cards and trying to figure out how to paint lightening bugs (which may have been a dumb idea, because they don't exist here).

[the beginning of mass production - or I LOVE this stamp and want to make as many cards as possible]

[trying to perfect how I want to paint the lightening bugs]

[I also got a Micron brush-tipped pen, so it was a fun excuse to use it on the envelopes]
