Good grief, it's May!

April came and went fast!  We had more winter during that time so it thwarted my Spring ambitions.  Pat and I with the help of a friend got the tiling started in the breakfast room behind the wood stove we are putting in and we have a lot more to go after we get the tile saw. 
The lambs are quite placid little sheep already except for Snow White which I call Grasshopper as she jumps up in the air all four feet off the ground.  She's getting a bit calmer but I still delight in her occasional forays into silly hood!
I have a new obsession!  I got into watching You Tube Artsy videos and found out it was like going to school  and you could learn all sorts of cool things and I found Kathy Orta Files and later many more.  So I became very excited about Kathy Orta Files and ordered her book.  As soon as I got it I started making the books that she had in her book.  4 in total and I completed them all and started making them all again and now I am just about all done with the projects for all the people on my Facebook planned acts of kindness.  I'm going to teach the first book to a class end of this month.  This weekend is National Scrapbooking Day celebration and I am going to play hooky and watch 3 special classes presented by Laura Dennison, Kathy Orta Files, and Kathryn Krieger.  I even bought myself some special  food treats like it is a sporting event!  I warned Pat about my plans; he's going boating with his friend Roger in their new co-owned motor boat Saturday.  So I'm having my own little "elk hunt", and we are having hotdogs Saturday night so I can stay up late and get up early to watch my "classes" with minimal work on the wife's part.
Lou, you mentioned wanting to know about the envelope punch board.  You can get it from Stampin' Up or We R Memory Keepers.  You can find tutorials on Pinterest and You Tube.  One of my favorites in Sam Donald's site Pootles on You Tube.  She's from the UK and a very good teacher. 
Well, it's heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work I go.  Got to plant peas today and hit the greenhouse before all the good stuff is gone as the weather is starting a warm up now.  I hope it's the final warm up that means Spring rather than the abrupt reversal back into winter that we just went through.  Happy Spring to all.
