Hang me up to dry

I've spent a good portion of the morning scanning in money from all over the world, per yesterday's collage post. About halfway through, I started feeling like a counterfitter, then toward the end I started wondering if it's illegal to scan money into your own computer. Since I'm putting this out in cyberspace, I may know very soon:).

I managed to do another card for the Deck of Me challenge last night when I was bathing the boys. This one was what junk you need to get rid of and we had to use junk mail as our embellishments:

I cheated (unintentionally) because I used a piece of ephemera on the front of the card in addition to junk mail. I didn't realize it until I had finished the card.

Pamela is loving these cards (ATC sized) and has asked me to make her several to hang in her locker. I told her I would work on those as soon as I am caught up on the Deck of Me.

Toby is scheduled for surgery on Thursday and will then have to stay for at least a week to be monitored. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes!

It's surprisingly quiet in my house with only 3 children. Dylan and I have discussed that before and it amazing how you can take away 1 (ANY one) and the house seems SO much quieter. Seth is missing Toby a bit, and we're trying to transition Blaise to a big boy bed, so when I came to check on them last night this is what I found:

A Place in the Sun

I have only a few things for you today. First, here's my week 5 Deck of Me (we're on week 8, but I'm way behind).:This one was advice to yourself at 18. My advice (on the back, not shown) was "Don't worry these are nowhere near the best years of your life" which is a line from the Brad Paisley song "Letter to me". I thought that was the best advice to give a teenager.

Through Crafted By Us, I learned of this collage image group on Flickr. When I was a teenager, I LOVED making collages. It's only been recently that I learned that this is a whole art form, so now this has taken over my life;).

Also, over the weekend, I ran into a friend at the park (we had gorgeous weather this weekend, it's springtime!) and she asked about our trip back in December. I told her that I need to show her my scrapbook of it and she said "You scrapbook? I've been wanting to learn how. I bought lots of paper and glue and albums but I never did them!" So, at least until she never actually calls, I have a local scrapbooking friend (did I mention that she asked me yesterday about my trip in December? I doubt we'll actually be getting together to scrapbook).

And, I rode the motorcycle for the first time (in my skirt, got a lot of neighborhood stares for that one). It was actually quite fun, but I get freaked out at going 30mph.

They're fixing my roof today so I'm stuck at home. I thought roofs were supposed to last longer than 5 years (and I didn't know there was anything wrong with it).
