Not What I Expected

It is Wednesday night in my part of the world. I had big plans for this week, and so far they haven't worked out. Since I have taken the week off of my day job, I planned to settle into making jewellery, - cutting metal and soldering. I like to have big time slots for these projects. And although I have had the time, I have felt under the weather the past two days, and have only done little bits of the jewellery work.

So this afternoon, I decided to work on an unfinished project that was sitting on the table, that didn't need too much energy of any type.

As I have mentioned before I live 100 miles from any stores (right now we don't even have a small grocery store, as it has closed down), and I live even further from an arts supply store (many hundreds of miles). So I buy a lot of my supplies on line. This box of art supplies arrived a while ago... and although the box was not in good shape

All 4 corners were split open. The contents were fine. I was excited to use what was inside, but the funny part was that the first thing I used was the brown packing paper that was all crinkled up inside the box.

I stamped and coloured onto the lovely heavy brown packing paper and today, spent some time glueing to make these cards.

Simple but fun.

And because it looked liked the birds were having a party, I stamped the word celebrate onto the cards.
