This is my dad.  He has a workshop behind our house, where he makes birdhouses, bow makers, heat tool holders, and holders for Dazzling Details.  He’s always asking what I’m doing and watching me get ready for classes.

He came into my studio a couple of weeks ago, and asked me if I had a birthday card he could send to his sister.  Do I have a card?  I have a hundred cards, but where’s the fun in that?

So, we sat down to make a card.  I made one along with him, so he could see how to do each step.  Originally, the greeting was supposed to be on the right, but he had a little trouble with that, so we covered it up with the balloons and he re-stamped the greeting on the left.

Then he got his hand in the black ink pad and smudged his card.  We covered the smudge with the yellow balloon that looks like it’s floating off the top of the card.  It just proves that THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY OPPORTUNITIES FOR CREATIVITY!!

Oh, and by the way, my dad is 92.

Didn’t he do a great job?  Way to go, Dad!

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you need a demonstrator, I’m happy to help!

Our first port of call on last week’s Royal Carribean cruise was Dubrovnik.  Croatia has had quite an interesting past, and been a part of several countries.  During all this time, the old city has never been destroyed by any of the wars, although it was damaged by an earthquake.

The gate going into the old city.

The “shiny street”.  Although you can’t see it well with all the people, the marble street is worn to a shine from all the foot traffic, and can be quite slippery.

The doors along this street, all look like this.  They are called “knee doors”.  In days past, the shopkeeper would be inside the space, and the customer would walk up to the left side as a sort of “counter” to transact their business.

A former monestary.  The Romans kicked the monks out, and used it as a stable.

And here’s my traveling companion, my husband Steve.  He doesn’t really care to have his picture posted, but he doesn’t read my blog, so we won’t tell him…… 🙂

Of course, I have many, many more pictures, but I’ll just pick a few highlights for you.

Thanks for stopping by.
