I really hope you liked seeing the pictures of my family reunion but I'll soon remove them because as I told you there were some who aren't appreciative of my posting them.
Soooo, is it as hot where you are as it is here? With the heat index the temperature is 100+, it's extremely humid, and we're under a heat warning here. To make matters worse, it's going to get even hotter this week!!! As for me, I'm not taking this heat very well. I don't want to complain as it was a long, cold and hard winter, but I just don't handle excessive heat well and I'm not doing well having to deal with it eventhough our air-conditioner is on full force. If you know what I mean, body changes at my age coupled with this heat is just not nice, and is affecting me in a "not-so-positive" way. But, I still want to craft!!! I tried to use my Expression but it felt as though I could feel heat radiating from it!!! Probably my imagination...lol... but I can't get comfortable and although the house is cool, the sweat is pouring off me like a waterfall!!!
So, instead of using one of my most loved machines, I decided to pull out my Big Shot (none electrical, therefore, not heat generating), an embossing folder, a scrap piece of ribbon, a few stamps, my newest love tools -- pearl pens, and some Glamour Dust (although it's difficult to see it) to make a card. It's simple and not very involved, but I think it came out pretty and without exerting much energy; which I just don't have right now as this heat is so draining. Here's the card:
"Thank You" wording stamped on the inside of the note card on the front
Inside of the card blank for hand journaled message
Well, that's it for my sharing right now! Like I said, simple.
I'm still trying to craft despite the heat but it's slow going, so I'll be back with another project as soon as I can muster up some much needed energy to complete my next project! I'm trying too --slowly-- to get around to seeing what you guys have been up to; I've enjoyed my visits so far! You all have been so busy doing wonderful projects -- loving them!!!
In the meantime, thanks for stopping by; I always love to have you visit with me and, of course, I always expect you to make yourselves at home!!!
Hugs, and I'll be seeing you!!!

Audrey,
Oh, I know what you mean about the heat. It is very hot here and going to get worse and the week goes on. We will have in a few days what you have now. YUCK!
I love your card Audrey, The little card on the from is just a wonderful idea. It is like a little extra surprise! I love the shape of the card too. So pretty and elegant. The pearl pens are such a great addition . I have got to get me some of those.
Take care of yourself in this heat. Love you,
Charlotte
Oh this is so elegant Audrey! Very pretty! I wanted to let you know I really loved the purse that you made the other day. I was so shocked when you said that leather was actually paper! I really thought it was real! lol!
And am I hearing what you are saying about the heat and "age related issues". Now, if this heat and these flashes aren't enough to prove what Hell would feel like I don't know what is! That alone should make people want to be good people so they can go to heaven someday! lol
Today on the news the weatherman did an interesting fact that I thought I would share with you. The coldest day in Minneapolis had a wind chill of -44 degrees back in January. Today the heat index made it feel 110 degrees. That is a 154 degree change in temps! Can you believe that? I'm telling you when I heard that I felt a cold chill, for about 3 seconds! You take it easy in this heat and let's hope this crazy heatwave will end soon!

Audrey dear you complain all you want! Yes it was a long brutal winter however you can always add more layers of clothes. This heat? How much can you take off before it is X-rated? I mean really, lol. I can't stand humidity and I understand you are going to be kind and share it with us in MA. Thanks but no thanks!!! Anyway, I love your card and it may be simple but, as usual, it is elegant. TFS and try to be cool. Your friend, Mary
