<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Today, I'm just popping in to say "hello!" I hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend. August was a busy month for us, how about you? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last month, I added a "contact" form to my blog. I used 1-2-3 Contact Forms. Their instructions made it pretty simple. To see the final result, click <a href="http://www.tiffanysepiphany-blog.blogspot.com/p/contact.html" target="_blank">*here*</a>.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was pretty excited that it worked, so I decided to add in Google Analytics as well. But-It-Didn't-Take. LOL. So I did some "troubleshooting". <i>I think</i> it didn't work because I have the older, "Classic" Blogger template. There are special instructions on how to add <i>analytics</i> to a "Classic" template, but I glanced over them, and I didn't understand them.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Coffee-lover that I am, I probably needed a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><b>second</b></span> cup of java to tackle it. It doesn't mean that <i>you</i> couldn't do it. Since I am <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">computer-challenged</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">,</span> I decided to add it to my list of things to do when I am not having a bout of attention-deficit syndrome. Ha ha ha ha. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Until next time...</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hope all is well in your corner of the world.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The painting featured in the card is "Charity" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). It's one of my favorites. This is a simple card to make. First, I printed out the image and trimmed it with deckle scissors. Next, I attached it to the eggplant-colored mat (that I embossed and cut out with </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">another pair of decorative scissors). Last, I added both to the 5"x 7" textured, folded cardstock. I am still working on the message that goes <u>inside</u> the card, but at least the front is done! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This week I am filling in for <a href="http://bohemianitkupilli.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Itkupilli</a> on the Collage Obsession Challenge.

Here is the card I made:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I basically fell in love with the </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">background paper </i>(above)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">, and have been waiting for a chance to use it!

This week, I am hosting the challenge at <a href="http://www.collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/09/friendsfriendship.html" target="_blank">Collage Obsession</a>. Our topic is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">"Friends/Friendship"</span>. I decided to make a card. To create the background, I typed words having to do with friendship into a Word document. Next, I printed it out on white card stock. I added a fun image, some polka-dot ribbon, and one of my favorite quotes(which is also listed at the beginning of this post).<br />

I loved adding the image of the<br />
"bird ladies".* It reminds me<br />
of a group friends getting together<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">to</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">chat,</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">gossip,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">laugh,</span> etc... That's<br />
what <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><i><b>friends</b></i></span> are for, right? Ha, ha!<br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I was surfing the net and found out about washi tape. I know I'm late to the <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">washi tape party</span></i>, but these decorative tapes are so much fun! If you need to stick something somewhere, washi tape adds <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">flair</span></i> to it. It's more fun than Post-its!</span></div>

Otherwise, I get hyper and feel like running <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><i>around the block</i></span>! I grind the beans myself...well, <u>with</u> an electronic grinder.

This week I am challenging everyone at Collage Obsession to create something with <b><u>one</u></b> word as a <i>focal point</i> or element in their artwork. Lately, I've been thinking about...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizTGqRJpp67O5xb8-4oufIaEXHoW5Fy1qThEmH2s9TqWXXikGH9EwWTV02CUlN3poyVaJOFI-ZJQZx5J66KVY_ihyphenhyphenYOBFnghh_osJoBZzPsAZS_3UfjH2qqfDGWR4WC2FjPuxvGZYz2Yc/s1600/iStock_000014923738Small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizTGqRJpp67O5xb8-4oufIaEXHoW5Fy1qThEmH2s9TqWXXikGH9EwWTV02CUlN3poyVaJOFI-ZJQZx5J66KVY_ihyphenhyphenYOBFnghh_osJoBZzPsAZS_3UfjH2qqfDGWR4WC2FjPuxvGZYz2Yc/s320/iStock_000014923738Small.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not just in the spiritual sense, but the idea of forgiving <i>y-o-u-r-s-e-l-f </i> for things you have done wrong, or that you wish you'd done differently. It's really hard to face the future if regrets about the past are weighing you down. I feel like I've been carrying around <u>a lot</u> of baggage. (A lot of coulda, shoulda, wouldas! ...) Ever felt that way?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made this simple card to remind me to forget the past and focus on the present:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to keep it on my desk. I think it looks nice & springy (for Spring)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What word have <i>you</i> been thinking about lately? Let me know in the comments section. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only PG-RATED topics, please. LOL. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This week, Kaylene challenged us at Collage Obsession to create something featuring butterflies. What a perfect theme for Spring! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I made mail art for an upcoming mail swap. The envelope size is just shy of 6"x9". </span>(FYI: The address label is empty. I will fill it in when I find out my mail art partner this week.)<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To see the other butterfly entries, please click right <a href="http://www.collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/04/butterflies.html" target="_blank">**HERE**</a>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thanks so much for stopping by & may you spot a <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #b45f06;">butterfly</span></b> or <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">two</span> this week!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">God Bless & xo</span><br />
