Wondering why people are always telling me what I can't do. Probably explains why I am always telling people what they can do and offering encouragement along the way. Started in high school with my guidance counselor laughing at me when I asked about applying to college in my junior year. She told me that I didn't have the grades or ability (oh yes she did) and that I should go to a secretarial school and marry a man!! I'm not THAT old so this happened at an age when it shouldn't have. Not only did I go to college but I managed to graduate and go on for my masters. Halfway through undergrad I needed to take a year off and my uncle told me I would never go back. Obviously I did.

I told my cousin I wanted to pursue a particular job in a certain field that is unique lets just say and she laughed at me and rolled her eyes and just said ok. My mother who witnessed this had the pleasure of answering her question 3 years later when asked "how's -insert name here doing?" that I was fine and had been working in X position for the past year. I was blessed to work there for 8 years before I decided to move on but the point is people have always seemed to go out of their way to tell me what I can't do.

Recently I was told by the owner of a local yarn shop I shouldn't even attempt to do this one pattern because I had never used two of the techniques before. Probably out of stubbornness, I finished the little project this weekend by leArning these two techniques (gotta love you tube) on my own. It was a challenge but it's not rocket science.

The recent example is a small minor one but I spent time on Sunday thanking the Lord for all my blessings but more importantly the wisdom to ignore those who can't for whatever reason lift people up. Also thanked him for making me so stubborn.

That moment when you reply to someone's tweet and then you delete it because you wanted to reword it but they already saw and replied! Gaah lol

I've always been one with rather vivid dreams, but about 3 years ago, the dreams stopped which was sort-of disturbing. In the last week or so I've been dreaming again, and BOY has it been difficult to get used to.

They were vivid because I was in them, right?

those are so cute and I bet would be easy to make. MissCriss is highly creative so I'm betting she might have an exact solution but it seems you could easily make them from lightweight cardboard sheets if they sell that big. You could cut the hole for the frame. What about lightweight particle board cut to frame size covered in fabric? They sell fabric pens to write the couples name and date on it.

Would love over to see your finished work! This will be a fun project!!

No... trust me... you don't wanna do it with foam board... it breaks too easily... cardboard works best... at least that's what people usually use here... sometimes they have it made with that hard plastic thing... but then it gets more expensive... :)

Table saw and a miter, and some wood glue and finishing nails to hold it together while the nails dry.


I doubt anyone sells picture frames that large, the shipping would be expensive. I could be wrong though.
