Well I have put a few photos on the blog today of the wonderful class at Stamplistic, which was taught by TIM HOLTZ - He is a wonderful teacher and we all had such a good time. Five of us from Art Gang Ohio attended, and what a good time we all had.
The names of the ladies that attended are from left to right, Lou, Alice, Betsy, Darlene and Sue.

When hubby finishes the organization of our vacation photos, I will post a few of them. First time for me out of my comfort zone ( USA) and found much to my surprise, that I had a fantastic time in Europe.

Until then ----

Hi All - well the countdown is under way, 3 days from today - I will be flying to Barcelona to get on a cruise ship. This is a really big undertaking for me, as I always told hubby I did not want to go overseas. But I had some time (30 Years) to think about this, and said to myself "Stop being so selfish". So for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, we are going to Spain, France and Italy. I really am looking forward to this.

Also made this Art Mail Post Card, and sent it to my friend Dawn. Hope she likes it. Probably will be delivered to her in today's mail.

Well yesterday - my wonderful hubby surprised me with a very special birthday gift, and that was a ride in the Goodyear Blimp. Many, many moons ago, hubby received an award from Toyota for excellence in quality from a vendor (Dunlop) and part of the reward was a ride in the blimp, which he did not know of ahead of time.
When I saw the pictures and heard his description of the experience, I made it one of my life goals to go up in the blimp. He was able to get this dream fulfilled for me. It was a marvelous thing. No hesitation on my part to do this, mainly because I am not an easy flier.
When I saw that huge air ship of close, it took my breath away, and I was able to ride up front with the pilot.
One more thing taken care of from the bucket list, and this was out of my comfort zone on so many levels. This is why I try to do these things, many wonderful experience can be had from this.
