The Greeting Farm Down by the Pond

Hi Friends!! Boy, I've got a lot of stuff to work on and post! Yikes! Don't be surprised to see more than one post each day for the next week or so. I don't like to post all my stuff on one post because it gets rather long so two post a day will be better.

I was thinking today . . . I wonder what it'll be like when I return to school in January. One thing for sure is I won't be crafting like I am now. I'm a little sad about that. Crafting and blogging have been such a fun experience for me. I do embrace change and I cope with change very well but I don't know. . .I think I'll miss my life the way it is.

Life isn't stagnant. I mean. . . going back to school isn't a necessity so it doesn't mean that I have to stick with it if it turns out to be an unpleasant experience. LOL!! Gosh, I'm already thinking negative but I do know how hard it is to go to college so I'm realistic. It takes a lot of your time and energy to do well in school unless you just want to cruise through it. . .now, that's a different story.

I was just thinking of how it was with my first degree and people, I don't think I slept for more than 3 hours in a day for 4+ years. It'll be easier this time around because back then, I was working while going to school. This time, I'll just be going to school. I don't know. . .I'm a little worried because I was younger the first time around and I no longer have as much "spunk" as I used to! Back then, I could function without sleep. . .I don't think I can do that any more. LOL! We'll see what happens.

Hey look at all the fishes. .they're images from The Greeting Farm stamp set "Down by the Pond. I drew in the plants and rocks because I couldn't find a designer paper that had an ocean scenary.

The flower designer paper was just a last minute addition. It doesn't even go with the theme of my card but I was too lazy to look for a designer paper that matched the colors of the images. This was the closest I could find in my pile of scrap designer paper.



I colored the fishes with my Copic Markers. . .just sort of blending two to three colors together and I added a bit of stickles which you can't really see.

Anyway, come back later today to check out the mini album I created for my husband.

Hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday!!
