Well, made it to my first casino yesterday. I started off my day by working 6am-12:30pm, then went to the :Our Lady of Fatima" celebration in Biloxi, headed to the wooden boat show, then over to the Palace Casino Resort. I must say, altho it was smoke free (Thank you, PCR) so that I COULD go into it, I am not sure why I would want to again, other than for the food? They do have a hotel but I already live here, so....no, thank you. And they had ads for the spa (must be part of the resort in see in the name). I saw lots of gaming type machines, none which seemed required any sort of actual skill. I saw some dealers at tables with decks of cards and I am well aware that I am NOT a poker player so walked past them. Saw a roulette wheel (also a game of chance, in my book) or two. And I saw a lot of people. The restrooms were incredibly clean, which I greatly appreciate in any place where I might spend time. Now, I am headed off to choir at St Patrick's.... have to practice for next week's big number :-)

What a weekend it was!!

What a terrific weekend I had!! Friday I worked and then met with the gals @ the LBCoC for arts & crafts night and taught the masking/sponging background technique. It was a blast... was going to make 3 different pieces but only got to the one, they were having so much fun! We also did a "punches swap" where folks brought their paper punches and cardstock and then we placed all the punches on a table and punched shapes from our paper from punches we dont own. Great way to share our supplies. Saturday was a fun filled sports event followed by the last meeting before Harrison County's 35th annual gem & mineral show and then on to a fantastically beautiful wedding for Casey & Bill. Sunday was off to a great start with LOTS accomplished (including brunch at Waffle House) before 11am and then a firepit created with red lava rock. Worked Monday and now have today off for all my errands.. let me leave you with a picture of our squirrel feeder as I head out the door...

Paper Crafting Space #2

Image
Well, have made some samples for my card class on the 18th of this month but don't want to spoil the surprise so will post another picture of my current art space... this is the area behind me as I sit and craft looking out over our front yard... and yes, I am well aware that I have an addiction so just hush. At least the chaos is a tad bit easier to find, now that it has been sorted through. I am still tweaking the layout of particular items as I get settled into the space. Moving the bins around, etc. Keep crafting and stay inky!
