The evening

I'm endangering myself (and my computer) right now. I'm in the midst of an 80mph+ windstorm, plus all the rain, thunder and LOTS of lightning that goes hand-in-hand with it. But yet, here I sit, because there's not really anything fun to do OFF the computer, either. :-P

I just returned home from an enjoyable evening at [livejournal.com profile] hetterrific's house, getting to know our new neighbor Stephanie a little bit better. And... um... we did 'learn' a bit more about each other. *ahem* LOL

We didn't win the lottery tonight. Drat. :-(

I used an ink stamp for the first time tonight! It was so much fun! I decided to stamp baskets on all my envelopes, packages and stationary. I didn't want to stop, but Philip drew the line at basket-ing the $20 bills. Killjoy. Oh, and I have quite blue hands that prove I was up to something, and not very good at it. :-D

Ho hum. Not much else going on. I've been experimenting with my Paint program some. I'm just not artistic enough. If anyone happens to have any pictures of paint, or paint spilled on something, or paint in a can, or paint spilling OUT of a can - basically, if you just have any pictures dealing with paint - I'd really like to see/use one. I think paint is beautiful - so milky-smooth, so fresh. I'd like to re-do my journal with paint-y stuff for a while, but I don't really have anywhere to start with it.

Alrightee, then. I should get off before everything gets fried.

Yep, they certainly do. I really missed the lightning storms while we were in Alaska.

Good. I'm glad to know I have a purpose in life. :-)

Stamping is a blast, I have been doing it for a while now.
Why don't you go to a paint site on your computer...go to different ones, you will get all the paint pictures you want there.

I wouldn't say I'm 'stamping' yet... but I do have this one little basket stamp to put on all my thank-you notes and such. I'm afraid to get into stamping, because I know I would spend more money, and I already have quite a hefty bit invested into my scrapbooking.

And I'm looking for some artsy paint pictures. I can't find anything like that at paint websites. :-(

Me again... I called my daughter and my son-in-law is artistic and has lots of art stuff. He checked, and he has clip art, with over 724 pictures, of just paint cans, brushes, paint cans tipped over, spilling paintand more. If your not in a hurry, they are coming over Friday, and he will email all you need then. I'm pretty sure this is what you were asking about. Let me know.

Oh my gosh! THANK YOU!
