Julie’s Neighborhood

It feels like fall out there today. Personally, I think it's wonderful, because I like fall, but I hate having to listen to everyone complain about what a "cold" August we're having. It's just weird, is all. Usually in August it's so hot (and humid) that I contemplate taking all the food out of my freezer so I can climb in (which I'm sure seems like a lot better idea then it actually is), but this year I don't think we've had a day over 25°C since sometime in July.

 

...I just hope this doesn't mean an early winter. I enjoyed it the last few years when we didn't have much (or any) snow untill sometime after Christmas.

2. Think twice before twittering in an altered state.

One drunk tweet might be amusing. Unfortunately, when you���re drunk or high, Twitter is like a can of Pringles. You don���t want to break the seal.

I managed to finish scanning the last lot of my Mixed Media Art Cards - these one's are all ACEO's so I hope to upload to my etsy soon - I'm SO behind on doing that... so for those that have asked me about purchasing my cards, please check my etsy soon:  ARTIVITY ON ETSY

Talk about stretching myself........!!!!!

Most of these cards were made predominantly with my LEFT HAND.!! Yes, I challenge you to try it yourself, it certainly makes you appreciate your normal use - as every little thing is just so much harder to do.  From setting an eyelet, to cutting with your trimmer and even trying to smear glue - you will get a laugh if you try it.  I'm almost ambidextrous now LOL

Friday I see an Ortho Surgeon, so hopefully will get some help for this wretched elbow/shoulder pain that is really tormenting me!!

Here's some of the cards - I hope you like them, I have included a small grouping as I like them all grouped together :) the individual pics are larger so you can see more detail.

I got this error a few minutes ago:

....huh. I wanted to say yes, but I guess that's not a valid option.
