Picture a Day - Day 138

Okay so I was mostly joking on Friday about being old and stuff there's no need to go and give myself white hair.

And it wasn't just a few strands hidden up at the crown either. This was more like a big gloop all along the bottom. Almost as through I accidentally drug it through some sort of white liquid like substance. Perhaps a dye for turning things from one color to the next:I am notorious about this. When I am doing something that say requires just a touch more focus than normal I will enter into a different mind frame and won't notice a single clue my body is telling me.

There have been times when I've strained a muscle trying to stay perfectly still to get just that perfect shot, usually on tip toes or crouched down in some crazy manner. Back when I was in school it was pretty common for me to sit down for a few hours, crank out a paper and just as I was getting to the conclusion suddenly realize I had to go to the bathroom RIGHT NOW! (Or the other hilarious time I had my leg up to act like a desk and was working on another paper and the phone rang. It was a wonder I didn't fall on my face as my leg was completely dead and would barely move.)

Probably the scariest tale of this strange focus of mine was when I had to edit a video I'd shot for an honors class. I spent 10 hours locked in a small room and I only came out 3 times to go to the bathroom. Otherwise I never once wandered away from the screen.

Basically all I'm saying is that I am a freak that should be shunned and feared. Friend good? Fire bad!

Oh I also require your help, once you're done brandishing that pitchfork in my face. See I've come to realize that I should include some kind of cute little Thank You note type thing with my few random Dress painting purchases. Some shops at Etsy seem to also include say a small little sample.

So then I thought, hey what if I do a little sample only I also use it as a chance to use up most of the extra paint left over from a job. Here's what I've come up with so far:
Where do I go from here? Should I attach them to some other backing? Just write "Thank You" on the back? Or be really lazy and just slide it in with the painting in its mailing envelope?

  1. I really like the flower. I would leave them blank. I like to have blank note cards on hand for all occasions.

  2. Slip them in an envelope and write Thank You on the envelope and leave the cards blank as a gift!!

  3. I like their ideas! ;-)

    And by the way - we're just giving you a little grief about the "old" thing. It's mostly because we're jealous and still wish we were that young - well, at least I do. But only if I know what I know now! I can remember turning 26 and thinking "Dear God! I'm entering into my late 20's!!! Aaack!" LOL!!! Just when you get used to being a certain age, your birthday has to roll around and spoil it!
