    I Fell ON My Head!!!

    Thursday, May 8, 2008, 09:53 AM EST [GASC]

    Not I bumped my head, banged it on something or even fell and then bumped my head.  No, it was more like - Go straight to falling on head; do not pass Go, do not collect $200!

    Want to see whose fault it was?

    I am pretty sure he is toying with going to the dark side.  Just look at him mocking me with what looks like a thumbs up!  Remember you heard it here first - Obi Wan Kenobi is thinking of going over to the dark side!

    So this is how it went down.  I was innocently walking through my bedroom and was unaware of Obi Wan's evil plan.  You see he was laying waiting in the middle of said floor and I was barefoot.  As any parent knows stepping on a toy such as this will cause weirdly strange pain (especially if contact with the bare arch happens!) So I stepped, Obi Wan got my arch, and I tried to make a strange hoppy movement to stop the crazy, weird pain.  I, of course, lost my balance and instead of falling like a normal person I went directly down on my head.  Right in the middle of the forehead.  Now that is pain!  My hands did try to stop the fall but they were useless.  (I am pretty sure Obi Wan knew this would happen!)  I have to admit that even in the pain I laid there thinking - wow!  I wish someone had seen that ‘cause that was hilariously funny.  I mean movie funny.  Like that could only happen in a movie and no real person falls that way.

    Again, I am pretty sure this was Obi Wan's plan all along.  He is going to be one evil dude if he converts to the dark side.

    So, throbbing headache still, I am taking it easy today.  Was supposed to be making some scrappy stuff but my head is hurting too much.

    So today I will share another sample for a class I am teaching.

    This is from my class Paradise Point.  It is offered at all 4 GASCs but I believe both Arlington, TX and Chantilly, VA are sold out.  That leaves it open to the folks from Grand Rapids, MI and Chattanooga, TN.

    Class is sponsored by Fiskars and Heidi Grace and we make a really fun mini album.  See for yourself.

      

    Lots of fun texture, clear pages and easy to make - great for any photos.

    The class is offered on the Friday of the above shows - 4:00-5:30pm.

    OH and one more thing.  I have had some inquiries if I am going to be selling some class kits online to people who live too far away from the GASCs

    I am looking into it.  Some of the products in these cl**** are donated so I obviously cannot sell any kits that have this but I am looking into getting everything figured out.  So if you are interested in any of the class kits you see posted, then shoot me an email.   I have started a list.  There is no commitment - if I can get it arranged I will email you and you can decide then.  If you change your mind I will just move to the next person on the list.  OK?  Questions? Email me.  I don't bite ;)

    Crystal, sorry that you went boom. Will you ever be teaching on the west coast, say Seattle or Bellevue, or even Portland, Oregon. Please, please, please. Your work is so great. Please keep us posted re: the book. Hugs,

    I forgot to say that I took a dive off of a step stool, (don't ask) to stupid. Be thankful that your hands weren't out there. I broke my right wrist(scafoid bone) and have been unable to do all of the stuff I used to do. One good thing though, I learned to use the computer with my left hand on the mouse. Now with a tablet I have one hand on the pen and one on the mouse. Quite the site.

    Crystal, Each time I try to post a picture within my blog it goes to the blog gallery. How in the world do you get them to show up as a part of your blog? I am so frustrated trying to figure this out. Can you or one of the others help me with this. Thanks in advance.
