Current Mood : A bit upset at my attempt at a re-frame...
Decided to enter an In The Pink contest, mostly because it's Midge-centric. The prize was a vintage blonde one, too. Anyone who wanted to had a choice of naming the Happy Family Midge's baby, photograph or describe their favorite Midge, or write a story describing where she was between 1967 and 1987. I decided to take the photo I'd always meant to - one with each Midge I had. The first Midge, the California Fun 80s Midge, and the 90s Happy Family Midge. And there it is. And yes, they're on the Scene-A-Rama stage, with the ‘starburst' paper I bought Friday.
But, even though it took 27 photos before I liked the result, I still wanted to tell a story. So I did. I tried to keep it short, but it sprawled over two and a half Word pages. I really enjoyed writing it. I don't stand a snowball's chance of winning, but I enjoyed the mental activity, and I'm proud of both my story and my photo. Truth be told, it took me longer to get the photo right than it took me to write the story. Contest ends tomorrow, and the winner's announced on Monday, but I'm not worried about it, I know I didn't win. I already got what I wanted out of it.
I also re-framed the ‘I Still Play' stitch-out - and totally screwed it up. The Gorilla Glue soaked through the fabric and didn't dry clear. The streaks are still there, and it's been over twelve hours. At least the cardstock matt looks pretty good. Guess I'll redo it sometime. From scratch.
It's rained all weekend, so I haven't been out much. Went along with Beloved Hubby on a job bid, and we went out for taco salads. So it's been a good weekend to me !
