Taking the Weekend Off from blogging

I am headed out of town this weekend-going to do my 2nd Race--this time in the MUD!!
I may be on the verge of crazy!! Take a look at this video to get a glimpse of what I will be doing.
(FYI the music in the video is some "heavy metal" so turn down you volume a bit)
PS--I wont be doing any belly flops off the bridge!!!

Boyz Rule!

*Clear cards are hard to photograph!* This week the challenge at the Heart 2 Heart blog was an ABC challenge-projects must include alphabets, boy theme and chocolate. How fun is that? I decided to create a clear card using one of CTMH felt monsters for a Birthday card.

I didn't like the location of the rub-ons, so I used a piece of scotch tape to remove them and start over.....the picture sure does show the rub-on residue.

I used a tooth pick to create the stick to hold the sign.

This monster had som black to him, I dis-assembled him. Any ideas what to do with the leftover black parts.
