The turquoise one reminds me of a gemstone - think it's called a topaz (?). And the other card looks like silver! I really love the effect. Wonder if you could use your special talents to make something that looks like a lapis lazuli gemstone? Would be fun to try.<br /><br />{{hugs}} and blessings<br />JocelynJocelyn aka JoBear2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05989477127824263685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-72682648967133804282011-09-10T17:55:43.734+10:002011-09-10T17:55:43.734+10:00Hi Shaz,

Would love to be able to do the fancy lettering. Have a friend who does and even just her envelopes that she sends in the post are a marvel to be held!

Hate to point out, though, that "Sarah" means "Princess" in Hebrew - "One who laughs" is "Yitzhak" (Isaac) - the son of promise given to Abraham and Sarah.

I am glad to hear you have problems refilling your gun ....I had one way back ...got so mad and threw it out when three different people couldn't refill it for me after i had failed. I know it was head strong of me but it sat there taunting me. I was tempted to buy another a few weeks back ... hoping they had improved ...maybe they haven't ???? so I am glad I held off.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12177505346903016669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-82978658247249862482011-09-08T08:34:42.088+10:002011-09-08T08:34:42.088+10:00The book marks are lovely - they are doing well.

Yes, I remember going home from 2 hours of that absolutely drained.....this was an evening class at our local technical college and my remuneration for each evening some years ago was about £10-£12 which was not enough for so many pupils!! One of these was a man who could write extremely well when he was just doing a quick draft...but come the good sheet of paper and the actual writing of, say, a poem - he fell apart at the seams. I did feel sorry for him because he had some great ideas and had talent but just couldn't deliver.Joyce across the Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265043471522130388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359905425914127607.post-34305707540664784172011-09-08T07:37:01.635+10:002011-09-08T07:37:01.635+10:00Those children are doing so well with their pieces...Those children are doing so well with their pieces.
