When I realized that while on our way to Memphis recently we would pass close to Oxford, Mississippi. I told my bride that I always wanted to come to this literary landmark of Faulkner and more recently John Grisham. While Grisham knows how to sell books, Faulkner? Well Faulkner knew how to write literary masterpieces.
As I found out later while visiting Faulkner's home, he sometimes literally wrote on his walls. Maybe I should have left my children's scribbling on their walls, however I doubt posterity would have been so kind; nor the next owner as well.
As our departure time neared an ironic happening occurred. The coveted James Beard finalists were announced and it turned out that not one but two finalists were named in –drum roll please- Oxford. Are you serious, I thought, two? What was I missing about a small, 20,000 population, college town that could breed not just one but two. One, Vishwesh Bhatt, was a chef and the other, St. Leo, a restaurant, and together it was a remarkable accomplishment for this small Mississippi town.
I should note here that I have been to Oxford, England. I can assure you that while there are a number of respectable pubs, I am not aware of any Michelin stared restaurant in what is truly one of the most beautiful and stately college campuses in the world. This is in no way a slur on the University of Mississippi, and Oxford itself, which reminded us somewhat of Stanford's campus in Palo Alto. Beautiful tree lined streets, gracious homes and classic buildings that dot the campus as well as an abundance of folks named Manning.
We arrived on a Wednesday evening at our hotel, The Oxford Graduate, which is totally cool. If you have never been to this hotel it is a must if for no other reason but to see students hanging out in the lobby which is set up like a study hall with Wi-Fi and long counter tops to accommodate your laptops. There are comfy chairs and off to one side The Canteen for snacks which doubles as a breakfast bar in the morning. The only thing missing at the Graduate is Mrs. Robinson.
Our introduction to fine dining began that evening at the Snackbar. Seriously, the Snackbar? With a chef of Indian origin? Apparently the name is synonymous in Oxford with imaginative food all the way up to Memphis and currently on to New York.
One interesting note, judging by the number of students, some in groups others on dates, most sitting at a long community table that stretches pretty much the length of the upper landing, it is the right place at the right time.
We started with platters of raw oysters on the half shell. While the oysters were briny, tasting of the sea, not the muddy Mississippi thank you, it was the Mignonette sauce punched up with a tobasco pulp that blew me away. I'd no idea there was such an animal but as it was explained to me once the tobasco mixture has drained there is this pulp that you can order from McIIhenny on line that will make sriracha seem like yesterday's ketchup.
Next we sampled a trio of spreads including the ubiquitous pimento cheese, which was my favorite, plus a Fava Bean Hummus and a Ricotta with caramelized spring onion. After the mignonette I thought the Hummus could have used a bit more kick. Truly I've had too much store-bought hummus over the years and I think it is up there with that tired block of cream cheese covered with pepper jelly that still turns up at parties.
Because Chef Bhatt, a very charming gentleman whose origin is Indian, there were a lot of crossover ingredients on his descriptive menu. His presentation of various dishes is the excitement. He expresses himself in his main offerings including Korean, Mexican, Ethiopian, Haitian and Middle Eastern. All were fascinating options, however on the Chef's advice I choose the house special, Fried Catfish Bibimbap a Korean rice dish with meat and veggies, however in this case he substituted chunks of catfish for the meat. There was nothing bland about this dish and if you go and order it be sure to have a frosty beer as your drink of choice. The catfish came with Mississippi Blues Brown rice grits, quite a moniker for such a tasty presentation, and charred cabbage both of which were a perfect counterpoint to the spicy fish.
The next morning we headed over to the Bottle Tree Bakery, where exquisite pastries dazzled the eye, to meet up with John Edge. John is the Director of the Southern Foodways Alliance which is part of the Center for the study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi. This includes art, literature and of course food. John believes, and rightly so, that food and eating intertwine with politics and social history.
As a lifelong southerner with a maternal family that dates back to the late 1800s on a farm in Alabama, I can attest to that. My memories of gathering on my grandmother's sun porch at a table long enough to accommodate aunts and uncles and grandchildren after Sunday School. The table was filled with hearty country food and non-stop banter. In retrospect it was as integral to my education as my school studies. I applaud John for capturing all this and stand in awe as regards the University itself for having such a facility.
Our final stop on this gluttonous tour of Oxford was at Saint Leo, which is up for a James Beard award as well for New Best Restaurant South. We went early in order to have some quality time with the GM, Taariq David. Taariq was quite helpful in explaining many of the dishes we were presented but by far the one outstanding and memorable appetizer we had was the Farinata which is a chick pea flour crepe whose origin is Provence and Liguria.
For my wife who is gluten intolerant it was like hitting "pay dirt". The soft crepe confection, which literally melts in your mouth, is dusted with rosemary and sea salt before baking. They come hot to the table and require restraint to not grab one before they cool down. There are just 3 ingredients in the farinata, the flour, warm water and olive oil. Simple to make? Maybe not if you don't get your proportions correct including the temperature of the warm water.
The specialty at St. Leo is the wood fired pizza. But which pizza to order was the problem. There was the house made burrata and soppressata, the pork belly, kale and ricotta and on the less exotic side a simple Margherita with fresh basil and excellent olive oil to top the homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella.
It's difficult to write a food column when you want desperately to go back and sample all the pizzas or next time try the Cacciucco which is owner Emily Blount's take on one of my favorite west coast dishes, Cioppino. At St. Leo it is named Cacciucco and the chef has spiced up the red sauce and added fresh Gulf fish along with shrimp and clams.
Looking back several weeks ago and reflecting on my time in Oxford, it is understandable why so many ex-grads return in their retirement years to Oxford. It is also the diversity of the people who have come either to study and remained. Then there is the undeniable lure of the food which is a serious draw itself. For those sophisticated native Mississippians who are well traveled and well-heeled this little town is the perfect place to put down roots or come back to your roots.
It's a small town with a town square and also home to Square Books one of the last vestiges' of independent book sellers whose shelves spill over with a strong selection of literary fiction, stories about the American south and southern authors. It begs to sit for a spell and read from books not your electronic devices.
Put Oxford on your " foodie to do list" and better yet, put it at the top of that list.

I did not expect much from this location for the price, yet they still managed to disappoint. Prior to my non refundable booking I called to confirm that the outdoor pool was functional/open. They confirmed it was and that the jacuzzi was waiting for a replacement part but would be up and running in 2 days. My reservation was weeks...
The staff here was amazing! The rooms were not stellar but nothing really compares to your own home. Bummed out that the pool or hot tub wasn't able to be used while we were there but it looked like it was nice! Breakfast was nice and simple and kids enjoyed the waffles! The only thing that was really wrong was...
Needed a hotel around $100/night and this hotel fit the bill. Double queen smoking room was average size. Appreciated the decent size refrigerator and M/W. Room was decent as far as upkeep and cleanliness. Nothing really special but for the price it was what we expected. Negatvie: Towels and paper products are like sandpaper. No clock in the room. Positive:...
This motel was easy to get to from the freeway, only 13 minutes from the airport, the room was spacious and clean and the price was very reasonable.
Very clean room! Staff friendly, bed comfy. Even has a safe box, microwave, outside pool, and small fridge.

The best part of the book seemed to be the subtitles of the parts of the book:
1. Pause (to slow down and think)
2. What's this year about?
3. What's this day about?
4. What's this moment about?
I like to the subtitles because they followed a clear, time-oriented structure that proceeded from the big picture (a year) down to the micro picture (the current moment).
But I can't really say nice things about the rest of the book. The whole book had the flavor of one of the usual books that is written by consultant who probably likes spending time with his ideas a little too much. There's a big pile of little ideas - often vague, banal, or trite - that are not organized into any cohesive structure or model, with each one of the little ideas given its own chapter and accompanied by several cutesy stories or anecdotes.
It seemed to me that the endless list of cutesy stories and anecdotes really dragged on after a while, making reading tedious and difficult, and that they caused enough communication clutter to interfere with the many little messages of the book (whatever they were, I've forgotten them already).
It always puzzles me how (and why) professional communicators produce books like this. I always expect well-organized, clean-cut communication messages from professionals, messages that should just leap off the page (like the four subtitles above). So I'm always disheartened to have to wade through dozens and dozens of little vague messages and cutesy stories that don't collectively build up into anything larger or more significant.
Here are just two examples (of many possible examples) of what I mean:
"Stay alert and adapt to changing situations. Keep your eye on the ball, whichever ball that maybe."
"If you're playing basketball and suddenly you find yourself on a football field, using more forced to bounce the basketball in the grass doesn't make sense. You need to drop the basketball, pickup of football, and run with it." Huh?
Probably the very best part of the book was the authors method of categorizing all to-do list items to fit under the titles of the key areas that you want to focus on for the year. He shows a tabular form where each cell has the title of the key area. When you try to place your to-do items into the key area cells, it becomes immediately obvious which to-do items do not fit with your yearly plan. At that time, you can decide to toss them to preserve your focus for the year, or put them into the Other (catch-all) category on the form.
No doubt the author makes a few good points here and there, but they seem to be buried in a wash of extra text. I think the book could be easily compressed into something one quarter of its current size, without losing anything in the way of messaging.
I'm sorry to say I would not recommend this book to anyone. I don't understand all the 4 and 5 star reviews, but clearly lots of other people found the book useful.
I think a much better book on the topics of getting focused and becoming more productive is Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time (Really dumb and irrelevant title, I know. But a good book with high density of good material, nonetheless.)
That said, the system in this book was unlike others I have read about but made sense and seemed easy enough to implement. I read this book a year ago and I still use parts of the system today (on good days).
The one real problem with this book is that it seems to assume that the reader owns her own business or is heavily invested in her job. For example, the book advises the reader to pick 5 main areas in life (about 3 professional and 2 personal) and divide their time roughly equally between them. However, I have a day job that demands 80% of my waking hours but doesn't contribute to my life goals, so the system doesn't totally work for me. But, you know, it's easy enough to modify and it's an interesting read.
Also loved his anecdotes. Peter Bregman seems to have the most interesting life in the world and someday I will have it too.
However. There are some great takeaways from this book. It's worth the read just to get the system down. It works immediately.
Step 1. Work from a world of having 3-7 goals (max) each year.
Step 2. Spend 95% a day on your goals, and 5% a day on that crap you have to do, like emails and calls.
Step 3. Follow the daily regimen to check in with yourself each hour, at end of day ETC.
Overall the value of the book comes to help RECENTER you. That's the gift you receive from reading it. If you're a fan of this topic, the 2 other books that I found were super valuable was 12 weeks, and Manage Your Day To Day. SUPER VALUABLE!

On 24 February 2014, President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda signed the controversial Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014 into law. The law came into force on 10 March 2014. The law further criminalises same-sex relations among adults, classifies houses occupied by LGBTI people as brothels, and criminalises 'promotion of homosexuality', which is so vaguely defined as to include almost any association with homosexuals.

Defending human rights remains a dangerous activity. Indeed, during my six years as Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders I have seen the space available for human rights defenders visibly shrink.

Day 5: "Invisible"
GOD: You fault me for my lack of intervention?
KEVIN: Of course.
GOD: Just a moment ago, you told me that God should let His children live their own lives.
KEVIN: In an ideal universe, even the most aloof and irresponsible deity would take at least some measures to stop his children from hating and killing each other.
GOD: The funny thing about ideals is that they can differ so greatly depending on the dreamer. Sometimes, not even the dreamer himself can agree with his own ideals.
KEVIN: I see where this is going. You think I'm asking for too much. I shouldn't gripe about the apathy of God if I truly valued humanity's free will. You breathed life into our frail little bodies, gave us minds of our own, built us a playground, and then set us free. Well you know what? With all due respect, I'm not impressed. I just don't understand the point of all of this. Life on earth, I mean.
If what they say is true, then there's a Heaven somewhere. It's a place where you supposedly feel no pain. Death is nothing to fear in Heaven because you've already suffered enough and died for the final time. But what's the point of pain, and what's the point of death if we're all truly destined for eternal bliss? People like to justify our mortality by claiming that God wants to teach us lessons that we'd never learn without first experiencing pain. Others try to convince you that God expects us to prove our worth before we can claim our right to stop the suffering. Still others conjecture that the physical and metaphysical universe is fragmented, and living a perfectly virtuous life will reconnect you to the greater whole. And the theories continue. To tell you the truth, I've never heard an explanation that satisfied me.
The more I think about suffering, the more I wonder why I can't let go of that vision of the ideal universe in which God is both unconditionally loving, and unconditionally just. Why do we accept these assertions without questioning them? What proof do we really have of God's infallibility? How in the hell are we supposed to be sure that God is more than just a sadist in the sky? The simple truth is we suffer by design. I wish I could understand the wisdom in this kind of creation.
GOD: I have faith that one day you will.
KEVIN: When do you suppose that will be? And since when did you conduct your affairs on the insistence of faith?
GOD: Oh, kid, you really do have a lot more to learn about me, don't you?
KEVIN: I guess it was too much to expect a straightforward answer. I should have learned by now to just stop asking.
GOD: But where's the fun in that?

Happening or not?
"How on earth can you do that, President Trump?"
Several videos have emerged of Hillary's "medical episode" at today's 9/11 memorial service in New York. The "episode" was originally noted by Fox News senior correspondent Rick Leventhal, who reported that Hillary suffered a "medical episode" when she stumbled and nearly fell after her knees buckled, and was then ushered into a van, in the process losing a shoe, as she was rushed away from ground zero in an early departure.
Ignorance Is Patriotism!
"In the days following the collapse, all I wanted was for the towers to be rebuilt just like before. I wanted the skyline back to what I had know since the day I came into this earth at a New York City hospital to be restored exactly as I had always known it. I read a lengthy tome on Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda. I was an emotional and psychological mess, and it was when I was in this state of heightened distress that my own government and the military-industrial complex took advantage of me..."
Did you happen to notice that after more than a decade of the 'news' media's demanding publication of "the missing 28 pages" (which turned out actually to have been 29 pages) from the U.S. Congress's investigation into 9/11, the document's press-coverage, finally, on 15 July 2016, turned out to have been little-to-none? Whatever the truth of the matter is, the U.S. Government has been lying, and continues to lie, about 9/11. For at least the past 16 years, we've been living in a dictatorship. And the evidence suggests that this has been the case ever since at least 1981.
"Don't Touch This"
In a few days it will be the 15th anniversary of 9/11, and this November 22 will be the 53rd anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. These two state crimes against democracy destroyed American democracy, accountable government, and the Constitution's protections of civil liberty. Years after the damage done by these events the American people no longer believe the official stories.
The world monetary order is changing. Slowly but steadily, global trade and currency markets are becoming less dollar-centric.
The number one reason to buy gold bullion given the new risks in the 21st century digital age is "cyber financial warfare" and the risks this poses to people's assets that are held online, according to James Rickards.
The title of this year's Jackson Hole meeting – "Designing Resilient Monetary Policy Frameworks for the Future" – is a telling one. It is actually a call to a specific goal, rather than the typical generic one. You get the feeling that the Fed has something on its mind... Translation: Fed projections have been wrong, and the central bank doesn't know how to make them any better in the future.
"I don't know what Trump would do if he's elected," said Mark Glyptis, president of the United Steelworkers Local 2911 and a Trump supporter, who voted for Obama in the past two elections. "But I know what Hillary would do..."
The last 20 years have brought great wealth to a few while most of the population was lucky to break even. Whether you're a member of the elite/protected class or one of the unprotected, it's hard to deny this reality. Globalization has created divisions between skilled and unskilled workers. Too few of the gains from growing trade are going to the unprotected class. They're angry. We're seeing this backlash now in people's attraction to Trump, who promise to bring jobs back.
By shorting the bond market using other people's money, avoiding "terrifying situations", and more...
With Iran back in the headlines once again thanks to the US government's shady cash payments surrounding the nuclear deal and hostage release, we thought it worth considering the warnings of GeoStrategic Analysis' Dr. Peter Huessy: Iran seeks to do us grave harm. Instead of heeding the nuclear missile "dots" that are emerging all around us, we are busy promoting trade with Iran, downplaying its violations of the nuclear deal, simply ignoring its ballistic missile developments and dismissing the growing evidence of its terrorist past.
"Falling rates of global trade growth have attracted much comment by analysts and officials, giving rise to a literature on the 'global trade slowdown' giving the impression of world trade losing momentum, but growing nonetheless. The sense of the global pie getting larger has the soothing implications... but our first finding that the rosy impression painted by some should be set aside...trade volumes have plateaued... Except during global recessions, a plateau lasting 15 months is practically unheard of since the Berlin Wall fell."

Back when I ran my mobile accessories business, I had a offer from Amazon.com asking me if I wanted to borrow money for my business. If you did not know, Amazon started their lending program back in late 2012 to companies that sold products on their platform. Amazon has the most complete data that a lender could ask for. They had all my sales for the past couple years, they could see how well my inventory was, if I was growing at a good rate, how my customer service was, shipping time, etc. That is more information then my bank would ever have. I think that is why Amazon got into the lending business. They have a huge database of potential borrows and all the data to make the decisions.
I first got the offer for a loan from Amazon back in May of 2013. I ignored them the first time they asked me, but then a few months later I got a email asking again if I wanted the loan again. I was approved for $50,000, so I decided to go ahead and apply for the loan. Since they had all my history, the approved me within a few hours for 50k. In order to qualify and get a loan from Amazon, you must have your inventory stored in their FBA warehouses and have around a year of sales data. While Amazon was the first company to start lending to the sellers on its platform , companies like eBay and Square have followed and made their own loan programs.
One thing you may want to know
You are not borrowing money from Amazon, they are lending it to you. It is not the typical money loan, where in the event you default, you may still have to pay. Amazon lets you borrow money against your inventory and future sales. So if you do not make the payments, they will just take your inventory in FBA, and take any money you make until you pay off the amount you owe. So if you do not feel like you can pay back your loan, do not borrow as Amazon will just take your income.
What to consider when choosing a loan amount
One of the biggest questions I asked myself after getting the loan was what to buy with it. In the terms, you can only use the money for business purposes. I had no other desire anyways. The average cell phone case costs around $1 wholesale. So I could buy 50,000 more cell phone cases. That was great as the holiday season was coming up, and if you do not know, that season accounts for 50% of revenue for the average retail business. The rest of the year is just a warm up.
I decided to buy 35,000 cell phone cases with the loan. My suppliers were quite happy that week I placed all my new orders with them. The other 15k I paid back early as I had no use for it. The holiday season was great. I made a little over 100k for the two months November and December. So paying back the loan was easy. I really do not know if it helped me though. Since I had so much money to buy cases with, and such little time as the loan only was for 6 months, I rushed when I was buying new designs from my suppliers. This was evident as when I was doing my accounting for the month of December, I realized that a lot of my designs that I bought using the loan money did not do so good. It was around a 50/50. Around half of the designs I bought were good, the other half did not sell very good. You have to remember my MOQ was 25 cases per design. So even if one sold, I was still stuck with 24 cases, and I pay rent on each one as they are stored in Amazon's warehouses. This happens all the time in the retail business. Companies like Walmart get inventory they think will sell good, only to find out they are duds.
Be careful with how much you spend
One of the major reasons new companies fail is that they raise to much money from investors. The company that could have gotten by on only a 500k investment got a $5 million one. Now the founders are wasting money on things they never wanted to do. Marketing budgets are higher, but still not producing results. Whats another 10k wasted? The same thing can happen with a loan, as I found out myself. Since I had more money then I needed to reinvest, I wasted a lot of cases I knew were a maybe. If I had only taken 10k, I would have been a lot tighter with my budget. Byt since I had 50k, and had to repay it within 6 months, I acted fast and wasted a lot. This happens to retail businesses all the time, and I am glad I got the lesson while the money was small. If the loan duration was 2 years, the 50k would have been a great blessing, as I could spend a few thousand a month extra on inventory and find out what works. Hell, I could even move my manufacturing here to the US if I wanted.
Those are the two things you want to consider when taking a loan from Amazon. Remember the loan maturity is around 6 months, so are you able to take advantage of that and pay it back without it hurting your business? Will you spend the money thoughtfully or waste it since you have so much?
The APR was around 12%. Pretty high, but not bad considering I was still considered a small business by my bank and Amazon. The IRS considers a small business as a company that has less then $10 in assets. So I had to pay around $2,500 in interest. Beating that 12% is easy in the retail business. If you buy a product with the intent to sell and you can't beat a 12% APR, you are in the wrong business.
What happens if I default or can't pay back the loan?
In the terms of the loan, which you should read before signing states that if you cannot pay back the amount owed, Amazon will take control of your inventory and income until you do not owe them money. They can sell your items much lower then you want thus killing the profit margin. This means they will sell much more inventory then needed. As I wrote before in this article, this is not a typical bank loan. Amazon cannot collect from you. They can only take sales and inventory.
If you can't payback their monthly amount, can your business withstand the cash flow loss? That is a important question to ask when taking a loan from them. If Amazon takes control of your account for one month, and you have no income to your bank account, can you still pay bills? If you can't, a loan may not be right for you.
What do I recommend?
I would personally pass on the deal offered by Amazon. Their loan term is only for 6 months. I found myself just thinking what could I sell fast and pay back the loan in such a short time frame. Now FBA loans are only meant for seasonal selling like the Christmas shopping season. So that is why Amazon put the maturity of the loan so short. The bank I go through gave me a $5,000 line of credit during my first year of selling back in 2011. The year after they offered me 50k unsecured and 100k in secured line of credits. So if Amazon will offer you money chances are your bank will too, however they won't demand you pay it back in full within 6 months. Try your bank first before accepting a loan from Amazon.

Quarters of Amsterdam

Quarters of Amsterdam
One of the best ways to get to know a city is to wander along its neighbourhoods. If you're going to Amsterdam these are the quarters of the city you definitely want to see. It's your call whether you want to walk or try the most common Dutch form of transportation; a bike.
One of the best ways to get to know a city is to wander along its neighbourhoods. If you're going to Amsterdam these are the quarters of the city you definitely want to see. It's your call whether you want to walk or try the most common Dutch form of transportation; a bike.
Probably the most famous neighbourhood in Holland is the 'Jordaan'. This characteristic quarter in the canal area of Amsterdam has many narrow streets, which house trendy shops, modern restaurants and traditional cafes. Music played an important role in the Jordaan and some of the best singers of this area are honored with a statue on the 'Brouwersgracht'.
If you're a day in the Jordaan you should visit the Anne Frank House and the 'Westerkerk'. Shopping is best in the Nine Streets area and there's a great market at the 'Noordermarkt' on Monday and Saturday. End the day with a drink in one of the traditional cafes and ask for some typical Jordaan music.
De Pijp
Without a doubt the 'Pijp' is one of the most vivid parts of Amsterdam. The beating heart of this district is the 'Albert Cuyp', where you'll find the largest outdoor market in Europe. The Albert Cuyp market has everything from foods and drinks to clothing and cosmetics. The vendors will probably treat you on some typical Amsterdam humor.
Furthermore the Pijp is known for the Heineken Experience in the former brewery of Heineken. The area also has the highest density of cafes and restaurants in Holland, which gives you no reason to get hungry or thirsty. Thanks to the multicultural and artistic vibe, the Pijp is known as the Quartier Latin of Amsterdam.
Other Quarters of Amsterdam
Depending on what your interests are, here are a few other quarters of Amsterdam that you might like to visit:
City Center: this heart of Amsterdam has a lot of everything; the Royal Palace, the Amsterdam Museum, the Beurs van Berlage, Dam Square, the shopping streets 'Kalverstraat' and 'Leidsestraat' and the malls 'de Bijenkorf' and 'Magna Plaza'.
Red Light District: this neighborhood is situated near the city center and enjoys quite a reputation. Stroll along the windows with girls among hundreds of other curious tourists.
China Town: Amsterdam has a China Town just like any other major city. Chinese restaurant, oriental stores and even a Buddhist temple can be found in and around the 'Zeedijk' behind the Red Light District.
Mirror Quarter: If you are interested in art galleries and antique stores with all sort of historical objects you need to visit the 'Spiegelkwartier' (Mirror Quarter) behind the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
Jewish Quarter: the Jewish Historical Museum, the Hollandsche Schouwburg (The Dutch Theater) and the Portuguese Synagogue are situated in the Jewish Quarter and are well worth your time.

Hello Everyone,
It's turned into a dreary wet and cool evening here with more rain predicted over the new few days. I'm trying to look on the positive side, which means I won't have to water the garden with all the new plants we've planted over the last couple of weeks, bonus!
Its been a stressful afternoon as Sundays now seem to be the best time on the roads for a learner driver and guess whose job it is to go driving with my daughter. We did a full hour this afternoon, before it got too wet. Its a start.
Today I finally finished off a half made butterfly which was stamped with the Floral Wings Hostess stamp set. I wanted to do the 3d effect with the flowers raised on top and now I'm happy with the finished butterfly. Enough so to finish off the whole card and show you.
The cardstock used is Crisp Cantalogue (retired), Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron and Watermelon Wonder. The Very Vanilla background has been embossed with the Lovely Lace embossing folder. The extra flowers and leaves were stamped onto very vanilla card and as I said, fussy cut and raised over the butterfly. Here's a full pic of the card below.
The greeting from the same stamp set has been punched out with the retired Modern Label punch and also raised on dimentionals over the Watermelon Wonder cardstock. Its simple but effective.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy what's left of your weekend.

Yakima paying $250,000 for fatal police chase
YAKIMA, Wash. - At its Tuesday night meeting, the Yakima City Council is expected to approve a $250,000 settlement with the family of a man killed by a driver fleeing police in a stolen pickup truck.
The payment would resolve the claim from the family of 29-year-old Pascual Ayala who was killed in 2010 along with his girlfriend, Marina Barajas.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports the city agreed last year to pay $400,000 to settle a claim from her family.
The fleeing driver responsible for the crash, Shaun Kollman, was sentenced to 51 years in prison.
