Alyssa's class went to the Richmond Winter Club 3 days ago. I have never been curling, or had the desire to learn how to curl, mainly because I don't like being cold. But it was an interesting visit and for anyone who might think that this sport is for wimps, think again!
Those rocks weigh over 40 pounds! I was surprised how heavy they were. And trying to push them off so that they go off in a straight line is harder than you might think. With all the kneeling, bending, throwing and the actual sweeping of the ice, the kids had a good workout!
Alyssa did quite well! I stayed on the ice for a few minutes to take pictures, then I went off to do what I do best. I had a coffee and watched from the outside where it was nice, cozy and warm.
I got home really tired tonight (went to the gym at 5 AM!), so I had a quick dinner and then went to have a short nap. NOT. I fell asleep around 9:30 and didn't wake up till past 11. This is bad. Now I will be up for awhile. So I started to play with some new stamps from Our Craft Lounge and made this card.
This card features the set called Anna Mae as well as the Happy Everything stamp set from Stampin' Up. This is card is sleek and simple, a style that I like to do and I think I should get back to doing!
I like this simple look. My Dad used to always say to me, "less is more." Usually he would say this to me as I was walking out the door to a party or on a date wearing what he thought was way too much make up! (Dads!......) My Dad was a doting dad and he spoiled me rotten, but he was very strict and protective and I had strict curfews that I had to (or tried to....!) adhere to. Most times I got home on time, but I remember a few times when I was late and then was grounded for the next week!
I used Copic markers to color in Anna Mae and I cut out the cake and popped it up on her hands -- love this set!
Anna Mae looks absolutely ADORABLE!!!!!! :)
